Adult Faith Formation
The Adult Faith Formation Committee develops programs that nurture faith as a growing, deepening dimension of life for our adult members, friends, and visitors. We promote intellectual understanding of our faith tradition, ethical conviction regarding the challenges we face today, and heartfelt commitment to the call of the Gospel in our lives.

Making All Things New: A Way Through the Wilderness
Faith Formation isn’t just for children and youth! Our faith grows and changes throughout our lives — this includes what we believe and how we live it out in the world. In Adult Faith Formation programming you’ll find a safe place to explore new concepts and theologies. You are invited to come and check out our diverse spectrum of speakers and discussion groups that will hopefully compel you to live the gospel message of love and justice.

“Covenantal Restoration” A 12 Session Film Series on Faith & Justice
Racism and oppression have a long and painful past and present. Racism is an open, aching human wound that reflects a fracture in our relationship with God. Understanding how it was promoted and is still alive in the construct of our beliefs, systems and structures is the beginning of caring for this wound.In this series on faith and race, we will explore how God is calling us to renewal and the hope of healing, so that we might continue to live into God’s dream for the world — a world without racism. The curriculum, written by Kelly Ann Hall, includes 12 sessions with an accompanying discussion guide.

“We don’t claim to have perfected faith, we know we don’t have all the answers but a quest for what is real and what is true.”
