This fall, make a little room in your Sunday mornings for conversation, curiosity, and community. You don’t have to be a regular Sunday school attendee or have all the answers to join in. Our adult spiritual formation classes are welcoming spaces to ask questions, explore faith, and get to know one another. Join us each Sunday at 9:30 am starting next week!

Continued Conversation Led by Mikah Hudson in Room 209

For those who want to keep wrestling with the questions that don't have easy answers, this class offers an ongoing space for honest dialogue on faith, culture, and the issues shaping our lives today. Expect thoughtful conversation, differing perspectives held in respect, and room to think out loud together. We will reflect on the lectionary, recent sermons, and timely topics.

Faith & Films Discussion Series Led by Kyle McKinnon in Room 210

A Sunday school discussion around movies that aren’t traditionally categorized as faith-based films. Like a book club, each week we will discuss a different movie, covering themes like humility, restoring relationships, resisting societal norms, and mortality, with an overall focus on finding God’s influence in unexpected places. The films will be All That Heaven Allows (1955), The Straight Story (1999), Perfect Days (2023), and The Life of Chuck (2024).

Civic Virtues: Through the Lens of Christ Led by Mark Chambers in Room 204

Based on Senator Corey Booker’s book, STAND, this class explores ten core civic virtues: agency, vulnerability, patriotism, truth, humility, community, creativity, perseverance, grace, and vision. Each week we will randomly choose a card with a virtue and a few questions based on some of Christ teachings for discussion.
