At David’s, we have built a growing tradition of strong adult education and faith formation experiences. We offer opportunities that walk us through the Bible and other Christian literature with an eye on how they apply to our lives and the wider world. We offer a variety of learning experiences, such as book studies, Bible studies, art studies, small-group special interest circles, workshops, speakers, and much more! All of these things help us to discover our spiritual gifts and direct us toward formation and transformation of our lives in Christ. Some of these groups meet weekly, others monthly, and some more occasionally.

Fireside Connections’ purpose is to make stronger connections with God, each other, and ourselves. As we delve into various topics, we strive to deepen our understanding and relationships. But the aim is always to help us grow in our faith, in our relationships with each other and God, and to grow in our self- awareness and how we live our lives. Fireside Connections meets every Monday at 6:00 pm via Zoom.

The B.R.E.A.D. Organization is comprised of many different congregations, who in turn represent many different traditions. Each of our congregations believes something different—about the nature of God and the name of God.  But each of us shares a commitment to pursue justice guided by our faith—to finding, in the things that we share, the strength that unity can bring.
