Adult Faith Formation

Sheridan encourages spiritual formation in adults leading to transformation, growing in understanding of God’s unconditional grace and love. As much as Jesus loved children, he called adults to be his disciples, to be transformed and be agents of change in our world. The Bible has many stories of Jesus teaching adults and blessing the children.

Adult faith formation takes on various forms and activities that include focused learning on Biblical topics, meaningful conversation, attentive listening, and practicing the disciplines of a Christian way of life. Sheridan’s ministry for adults, in all of the various seasons of life, strives to help us live God’s promises as the family of God and to equip all of us to be formed and transformed as disciples of Christ.

Adults may join classes at any time. Registration is indicated if needed to attend.

Any needed class resources may be purchased on your own or at our OneSent Market just off of the Great Hall.

Bible Study on Heaven and Earth
Wednesdays, January 8-29; 6:30-7:30pm; Room 828

Christians are very curious about heaven and the Bible and Jesus has a lot to say about heaven, but are these biblical ideas the same as the ideas of heaven we talk about today in the 21st Century? The Bible Project has created an in-depth and helpful study exploring this Biblical theme. You don’t want to miss this Bible study, it will be heavenly. Taught by Pastor Eric Bostrom.
