Adult Faith Exploration Programs
Currently we are holding classes in person and on Zoom.
Most of our adult classes are open to the public. The teachers are members of the congregation and invited speakers who want to explore thought-provoking topics.
AFE is also looking for new committee members who can help us design and execute our emerging program. If you are interested, please contact us at AdultFaithExp@uussd.org.
Our Classes
- Deepen the understanding of our faith and its history
- Explore other religious philosophies and their role in our spiritual growth
- Strengthen our connections with each other, other faiths, and the world
- Provide opportunities to enrich our spiritual paths
Registering
- The process for registering is usually described in information about the course.
