Grow In Faith Throughout Life:
Faith Formation for Adults

At the heart of faith formation for adults, as for children and youth, is belonging to a small group where you are truly known and you know others. In Faith Formation groups, three things happen: you learn and grow, you care for one another, and you serve causes and people beyond yourself.

One of the first things we ask you to do when you become involved at ORUUC is to find your group.

Adult Faith Formation happens by joining a small group where you learn, serve, and care together. There are many such groups, some of which meet during Faith Formation Hour on Sundays following the service. Some meet weekly, others once or twice a month.

Circles of Trust 

These small groups of 6-8 people meet for an hour twice a month, allowing you to make connections and get to know fellow members on a deeper level. To enroll, please fill out this online form.
