Adult Growth Opportunities
Sunday Adult Education
The group meets on Sunday mornings at 9:00am in classroom #11, except during the summer. Led by CTK members, and Diakonia graduates, Phil Whitley and Scott Simmons, the group explores what it means to be a Lutheran Christian today and many of the challenges and paradoxes of following the way of Jesus in contempoary life. Although the sessions are guided by a book or other text, this is a highly participatory group. For more information on this group, please visit the Sunday Adult Education webpage.
