Classes

We believe the formation of our community involves ongoing education. From child development, to Bible studies, C.S. Lewis, and contemplative prayer, our classes help us apply the Christian faith to all of life.

Inquirers’ Class

If you are new or have questions about our tradition, we invite you to participate in our Inquirers’ Class. We discuss what we believe and why we believe it, and what we do and why we do it.

The class covers eight topics over ten weeks. Download the notes for each lesson below:
