»Adult Christian Education

Christian Education Formation

Formation of a Christian life is serious stuff that won't work if we take ourselves too seriously. Formation seeks to balance the intellectual content of faith with the deeper resources of our shared experience. It informs not only the mind but the heart and all the rest of us. It hopes to move us in this common effort to say, "Do you think we could?" as opposed to, "Do I have to?"

Classes and study groups during the Christian education hour at 9 a.m. on Sunday mornings and during the week provide a variety of opportunities for spiritual growth. Forums are planned for outstanding speakers and community leaders to share their ideas on Sunday mornings. Child care is provided for infants and toddlers, and education for preschool and kindergarten-aged children is available during the 9 a.m. Christian education hour.

To subscribe to weekly updates about adult education and spiritual formation opportunities at UCUCC, send an email to the weekly update editor at adulted@universityucc.org.

Discovery Bible Class

The Discovery Bible Class meets every Sunday at 9 a.m. in Room 330 (northwest corner of the top floor). The Discovery Bible Group brings varied points of view to a discussion of the Biblical readings of the week from the inter-church National Council of Churches Uniform Series. Touching each book of scripture over a six-year cycle, the class includes intensive examination of each of the Gospels. Led by Bruce Danielson. Call Bruce at (206) 282-7498 for more information.

Inviting Silence

Using the peaceful setting of our small chapel at the south end of the building, this quiet and meditation time is held every Sunday  from 9-9:50 a.m. This is a time for meditation, brief discussion and quiet, and recorded music on topics related to meditational practice. Led by Rev. Peter Ilgenfritz. Call Peter at (206) 523-2322 for more information.
