Adult Formation

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.

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. April 10th-May 15 6:30-8pm we will be meeting in the Steele Commons Room for THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO THE GOLDEN GIRLS. No preparation is necessary! Come to watch episodes of this popular 80s sitcom and discuss contemporary issues. For more information, please contact Pastor Andi at associatepastorucb(at)gmail(dot)com.
