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.
