Adults

We believe that faith formation is for all ages and that we are called to a life of continued learning, curiosity, and growth. Most importantly, we do that learning together. While individual study is an important part of faith, our spiritual lives are enriched when we engage in this learning alongside one another, seeking the ways that God is speaking to us and helping us apply our faith to our everyday lives.
