Adult Education

Fairmount understands the busy lives of our members and friends. Keeping this in mind we have tried to offer shorter term classes that provide a level of flexibility for schedules. These shorter term classes also provide the opportunity for participants to partake in a lively mix of topics. During the course of a year the Faith Formation council seeks to provide a well balanced mix of the following topics:

Bible
Christian Living and Spiritual Practices
Contemporary Issues and Action: The Church and the World
Theology and Ethics
Perspectives on Literature, Arts, Science and Faith
Our Life in the World: parenting topics, etc…

You are encouraged to choose classes that interest you, challenge you and provide you opportunities to grow in your faith and life.

Sunday Mornings from 9:45 am – 10:45 am

Beginning this fall the Faith Formation council is launching a new class that we hope will animate your faith and the faith and life of this community.

This class, which will meet in the chapel on Sunday mornings from 9:45 - 10:45 am, will focus on the following overarching topics in a 3 year cycle.
Year 1: Theology and Church History
Year 2: Bible
Year 3: Spiritual Practices
Through the content and conversations of these Sunday mornings we pray that all involved will discover a more lively and vigorous faith that will give this community more courage and boldness as we are stirred to action by our call from God; in other words, we pray all involved will discover a more animated faith!

This class begins on Sunday, September 9th with the Rev. Dr. Linda Morgan Clement leading a conversation about the benefits of a vibrant spiritual life for youth and adults.
