WHAT IS ADULT FAITH FORMATION?
To be effective ministers of adult faith formation we will first, like Jesus, join people in their daily concerns and walk side by side with them on the pathway of life. We will ask them questions and listen attentively as they speak of their joys, hopes, griefs, and anxieties. -Scott Anastasia -Pastoral Staff Members

What does it mean to be a disciple?
In Jesus’ time it was not unusual for a person to seek out a master teacher from whom one could learn the ways of life and faith. Many expected that one of these teachers would be the Messiah, God’s Anointed One, who would establish God’s reign on earth. Perhaps it isn’t so different in our time. Hundreds of political, business or self help leaders present themselves as having the answers people need. If we’re honest with ourselves, many of us hope one of these individuals will have what we’re looking for Our faith tells us that Jesus is the Messiah.
He is the Teacher who has the answers we need for our lives. Learning Jesus’ ways is what discipleship is all about. Following Jesus is the work of our lifetime.
