Faith Formation

Faith Formation for All Ages – Sundays, 9-10am
January 22 – March 26, 2023
Here I Stand (continued from the Fall)
Leader: Fr. Tripp Jeffords
Ages: Adults
Martin Luther gave a speech at the Imperial Diet in Worms (18 April 1521), where he defended his Protestant beliefs in a time of error and confusion. Luther ended his defense with these words, “Here I stand. I cannot do otherwise.” In theology, this type of “defense” is called Apologetics. Now, more than ever we need to be able, not only to understand what we believe, but to be able to defend our faith in a decaying world. The need for “apologetics” is why we are offering this adult class during our faith formation hour. The class will include 3 segments: What Christians Believe, What the World Believes, and What Other Religions Believe. Please join us for fellowship and lively discussion!
Location: Ambler Hall Downstairs
A Quest For More
Leader: Fr. Korey Kincaid
Join the quest as we look deeply in what it means to “seek first the Kingdom of God.” God has given us the gift of his Son, not to make our little kingdoms successful, but to welcome you to a much better & bigger kingdom. Join the quest to find out more.
Location: Atrium

Respectable Sins
Leader: Jonathan Ketcham

Location: C/Y Building, Upstairs Youth Room
Students in 6-12th grade are going to read together through “Respectable Sins Student Edition: The Truth about Anger, Jealousy, Worry, and Other Stuff We Accept” by Jerry Bridges. Here is a description of the book given by the publisher:
“Jesus died to set us free from sin, even the sneaky, respectable kind. But before that can happen, we have to get honest, which is what this book is all about. It’s a chance to explore “good Christian sin” and what to do when you recognize it in your life.”
