Christian formation is learning how to become and practice being disciples of Jesus Christ. As members of the Body of Christ, we do this in many ways: through worship, prayer, study/learning, serving one another in love, engaging in forgiveness and reconciliation, proclaiming the good news, and bearing witness to the suffering and injustice of the world while advocating for those who need our help the most.

Our forums take place from 9:30 to 10:25 a.m. During our forums, leaders from our community discuss different topics.
