Adults

Discipleship is a shared life and a personal journey that forms us into a Jesus-shaped life of love. A Jesus-shaped life of love involves four rhythms of life: Worship - centering our lives in God; Grow - pursuing growth and transformation; Serve - sharing the love of Christ and Connect - building beloved community. This winter and spring's Adult Grow offerings will help adults discover rhythms, resources, and community experiences that will support a Jesus-shaped life of love. 

Adults at CUMC cover those ages 18+. We come together for making friends, making a difference in our community and deepening our faith. Register your kids for childcare when you sign up for a class, group, or study.
