All Souls Grow

When a person becomes a Christian by being baptized, they—or the godparents in the case of an infant—make a promise to continue on a lifelong path of spiritual formation “into the image of Christ.” This undertaking includes education, but it goes far beyond that. Christian formation is the lifelong process of growing in relationship with God, self, others and all creation.

Adult Formation

Meets regularly on Sundays at 10 am in the upstairs Conference Room in the Administration wing, except for occasional holiday pauses. We consider a wide range of topics including contemporary theological and social issues and matters of parish life. Dates and topics are announced in The News from the Pews, the weekly E-News email Message.

 Fall 2025 Forum Series

The Fall Forum Series begins on September 14 at 10:00 am in the conference room and runs through December 21.

All are encouraged to experience faith as a journey more than a destination through conversation with fellow parishioners.
