Adult Programs

Grow in your faith and build community.

Discover together, through study and discussions, that what unites us in faith is greater than what divides.

Grow in your faith and build community through Bible study, book discussions, and friendship. Recently we’ve studied the Gospel of Matthew, discussed Bonhoeffer’s The Cost of Discipleship, explored Christian denominations and found spiritual discoveries in poetry. 

Sunday Adult Education

Learning opportunities for continuing faith development are offered throughout the year on Sundays at 11:00 and select week days, both via Zoom and in-person.


Adult Sunday Classes

Our current classes for adults feature classes on "The Book of Acts" and "The Spiritual Brain: Science and Religious Experience".

Men's Koffee Klatch

Thursday 9:30am - 11:00 am         CE Lounge & Zoom


All men of United Church are invited to coffee, refreshments, and fellowship!  There are no lesson plans, no required or suggested topics, no devotions, no leaders, but there is a lot of fun!  Hosting duties are passed around within the group.  The wit and wisdom shared cover all sorts of topics and the discussions have proven extremely interesting, informative, and supportive.  We laugh a lot!  See you there.!


If you can't make it in person and would like to join via Zoom, please
