We offer a variety of formation programs for all ages that deepen our faith and bring us closer together as a community.

Adult Formation

Our Adult Formation programs are offered in a variety of formats, from lectures to small discussion groups, and cover a wide range of topics, from bible study to faith in action to current events. We hope that there is something offered that will appeal to everyone.
