Adults

Each Sunday, adults gather during our Formation Hour – you are invited to join in any of these activities!

You’ll find some folks in the Gathering Area enjoying coffee and good company. Others gather for a regular Adult Bible Study, held in Room 120. In the sanctuary, we gather for a variety of shorter-term Bible Studies, series on faith and contemporary issues, forums on CLC ministries and community needs, and special guest speakers.
Sunday Morning Adult Faith Formation and Fellowship – weekly at 9:20 a.m.
