Adults

We encourage all members and friends to find at least one place to nurture your spiritual life. Maybe it’s an adult education class, maybe it’s a spirituality group, or maybe it’s a place of service that feeds you. But find at least one place where you are fed and take in the grace that God gives freely so that you may also exhale the grace of God.

We offer many classes and small groups to get involved with. Explore the opportunities below for more information about weekly, monthly and occasional gatherings. If you have questions or ideas for new classes, groups or fellowship, contact Rachel Cunningham.

Sunday Lunches - 11:30 AM, Weekly

 

Coming together over a shared meal is a core practice of our tradition, mostly notably seen in the act of communion. Each week we share a meal together following worship. We encourage everyone to stay for this complimentary lunch and time of community building.

Faith Exploration - 12:15-1 PM, Weekly

Brown members sit in a circle with Bibles on their laps during the Sunday morning Education Hour.

A class offered for adults and youth to come learn about, question and explore a variety of topics and their intersections with our faith. This class takes place in the Assembly Room immediately following our Sunday Lunch. This is a hybrid offering, those joining virtually may use the worship link to participate. Faith Exploration does not meet Memorial Day through Labor Day.

Bible Study - 10:30 AM, Wednesdays

Gather for a virtual prayer, study, and reflection session. All are welcome to join at any time. View the calendar for more detail and Zoom link.

Mid-Week Prayer - 5:30 PM, Thursdays

Join us for our weekly, year-round virtual Prayer Ministry and Worship Service. God’s touch upon our lives often takes the form of a call to pray so that we ourselves become a new opening for God’s power in the world. In the simple act of praying together – joining together to raise our minds and hearts to God – community is strengthened. Pausing together, saying aloud or holding in silence the prayers of our own hearts, of our community and of the world we feel closer to one another and to God.

Theology On Tap - 6:30 PM, 3rd Tuesdays

Theology is really just a fancy word for “God-talk:” the way we think and talk about our religious beliefs. What happens when we take that conversation out of the church and into a bar?

Join us at the chef’s table at Guilford Hall Brewery for an informal discussion on theology, and all the things in life that swirl around why and what we believe. Come, drink (alcoholic or non), eat, laugh, and talk about God, the universe and everything. Contact Sam Edgin or Elizabeth Tatum, if interested.

Inquirers’ Class
