There are two Adult formation classes that meet on Sundays at 9am during the school year:

  • A formal Bible study led by Pat James meets in the Steele Commons Room. They are currently studying the trial of Jesus.
  • The Sojourner’s class led by Nancy McKee and our Pastors meets in the Conference Room and is a facilitated discussion format based on articles from The Christian Century. Links to the articles are provided in each Friday’s Bulletin Plus e-news.

Our Pastors also offer two group study series yearly – one in the Fall and another in the Spring. The topics vary from study to study. For more information, please contact Pastor Andi at associatepastorucb(at)gmail(dot)com.
