Adult Formation

Adult Formation follows the 8 am morning worship service (45 minutes to an hour). In recent years Adult Formation topics have covered 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.
