Adult Faith Formation
Where do We Go From Here?
In everyday life, we are called to continually reconnect with our spiritual center. Walking in Christ means drawing strength from his presence and re-anchoring ourselves in God’s love and truth, so our faith remains strong and our hearts open to divine guidance.
Scripture Inspiration
“As you received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in him, rooted in him and built upon him and established in the faith.” -Colossians 2:6-7
