What is "Adult Faith Development"?

What is "adult faith development?" "Is it more than attending Sunday Worship?" Good questions!

Are you currently involved with any adult faith development activities at church? Would you like to know more about what is possible for adult faith development at First Unitarian? Would you like to be part of creating the vision for the future of adult faith development programming?


Please come to a
sharing session hosted by your Lay Leadership Council on Monday, May 16th at 7:00pm following the Monday Night at Church dinner!

The purpose of the meeting is to continue creating a shared vision for Adult Faith Development at First U, building upon the vision set forth by the Religious Education Faith Development Director Search Team and the Faith Development Team regarding "Adult Faith Development/Adult Ministries." 

In the past our assistant minister had involvement with programming as well as dedicated individuals at First U. With Rev. Merritt's departure, we now have a single minister.  Additionally, we will welcome a new Director of Faith Development in September. We're moving in the direction of having the new DFD work closely with the faith development team and current/future lay leaders to facilitate adult faith development opportunities at First Unitarian.

The session is open to anyone who wishes to attend. Additionally, we specifically invite current lay leaders who implement adult faith development activities at First Unitarian to attend and share their experience.

If you are unable to attend but have questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to a member of the Lay Leadership Council or the RE FDD Search Team.

See you on Monday the 16th!
