Adult Formation

Faith Formation invites us to learn more about being a disciple of Christ, encouraging people to explore what it means to live like Christ each day. We value the exploration of the intersection of faith and culture in our local, regional, and global communities. We seek to provide a safe space for people in all seasons of life through opportunities to listen, learn, share, and grow individually and communally as the church.

Contact Rev. Keli Shipley Cooper to learn more about our offerings and where to participate.
