Adult Faith Formation Classes

ThE PASTOR's CLASS

The Pastor's Class is an in-depth lecture-based Bible study class taught by our pastor and head of staff, the Rev. Dr. Paul Lang. It is held Sunday mornings from 9:15-10:15 AM in the Fellowship Hall.

Beginning November 3: St. Benedict & Benedictine Spirituality

St. Benedict (and his Rule) have profoundly shaped the Western church since the sixth century. It is hard to imagine what would have become of the Christian faith in the West without the many monastic communities which kept and preserved all kinds of faith during the calamities of the Dark Ages. Further, the community of Christians for whom the Rule of Saint Benedict is a guiding document is growing rapidly among both Protestants and Catholics. The class will look at the history of St. Benedict, the Rule, and at the resurgence of interest in Benedictine disciplines and attitudes.

 Faith Formation AT CPC

At CPC, we view faith formation as a process that informs, forms, and transforms us into disciples of Jesus Christ. Faith formation in the Christian church encourages people of all ages to:

  • Grow in our relationship with God throughout our lives;
  • Live as disciples of Jesus Christ at home, at work, and in the world; 
  • Develop an understanding of the Bible and our faith tradition;
  • Deepen our spiritual life and practices;
  • Engage in service and mission;
  • Relate the Christian faith to life today; and
  • Participate in the life and ministries of the faith community.

Faith Formation at CPC includes a variety of opportunities for learning and growing in faith for all ages. We hope you will enjoy learning with and from others on your faith journey. Please contact Reverend Alan Bancroft through the church office with any questions.
