Adult Formation

Adult Formation is available in a number of different offerings.  There are opportunities from 9:15am to 10:15am (between services), on Wednesday nights, and an offering for men on Friday mornings.  Topics cover a diverse range of topics including: prayer, church history, ethics, faith and art, understanding the Bible, etc. Missionaries and visitors connected with Christ Church give presentations during Adult Formation, as well, exposing us to the wide range of God’s work around our city, nation, and world. Christ Church is fortunate to have an excellent team of teachers to lead Adult Formation. Opportunities for questions and interaction are often the highlight of the time.
