Adult Christian Formation

Please click on the buttons below to view/print the weeks' materials and to access the Slow Religion zoom call.

Our Slow Religion/Matthew class ends on April 18th, 2023. We currently plan to start the new class on the Gospel according to Luke on September 12th, 2023. Below is our current class schedule.

Please let me know that you would like to host the class and if this schedule works for you for the fall.

Each week’s attendees are provided an outline, overview and background readings for a chapter or section of a chapter. Reading the outline is sufficient, reading more provides a deeper context for the class.

The class is created and led by Joe Jennings and advisors include: the Rev. Zoila Schoenbrun and the Rev. Robert Gieselmann, St. Stephens Episcopal Church, Belvedere, CA; the Rev. Br. Richard Edward Helmer, Episcopal Church of our Saviour, Mill Valley, CA; and Eugene E. Lemcio, PhD, Emeritus Professor of New Testament, Seattle Pacific University and the Rev. Heather Wenrick, the Episcopal Church of the Ascension, Seattle.

Classes are held via ZOOM each Tuesday from 4PM to 5PM.

Sunday's 9am - Dewitt Hall

At various times throughout the year we schedule Adult Forums to augment our intentional Christian Formation program. Through the insights and wisdom of outside speakers, discussion of contemporary issues seen through the lens of our faith, and conversation about how our beliefs integrate our life as Christians in the world, we are formed and transformed. Adult forums are often held between services on Sunday. Extended programs may be offered on Wednesdays in Lent or Advent.

Adult Forums in recent years include: community organizing for gospel justice, sacred conversations on race and racial justice; webcasts from the Trinity Institute; Creation Care documentary film nights; and Living Water. Our 2018 Lenten program studied “The Book of Common Prayer”. In 2020/2021, we participated in the "This Is Sacred Ground", a film-based dialogue series on race & faith. Watch for more information at this page.
