Christian Formation


OUR GOAL is to grow in the love of God through programs of learning, spiritual development, and Christian education. We seek to enrich our relationship with God, who inspires us to continually learn and grow. To that end we seek to provide Christian education and tools for spiritual development for all ages, to reach out and welcome the unchurched and the lapsed, to identify and nurture the spiritual gifts of all members, and to help shape and nurture ordained vocation.
