The Adult Christian Formation Committee (ACF) is a lay-led group that seeks to nurture the faith and spiritual growth of the Calvary community through inspirational and challenging formation offerings for adults. Classes are led by clergy, lay volunteers, and guest speakers from local colleges, seminaries, churches, synagogues, and non-profit organizations. All adult classes are open to the adult community as a whole.
Newcomers classes offer an opportunity for you to get to know Calvary better. For more information, email Ebet Peeples.
The Grief Support Group offers healing and hope after the death of a loved one or another form of loss. This is done through mutual sharing in a small group setting.

Join an online conversation about faith, justice, empathy, prayer, and more each week with a small group. Conversation fodder will come from articles accessible online by authors from Barbara Brown Taylor to David Foster Wallace (and others who don’t use all three of their names). The Sunday class is full, but other groups may form if there is interest. Contact Scott Walters.
Education for Ministry (EfM) invites participants into small, mentored groups that provide the framework for understanding life and shaping actions as Christian faith is deepened. EfM seminar groups meet in local settings and online and provide a four-year curriculum that develops a theologically informed, reflective, and articulate laity.
Calvary has two EfM groups. The Wednesday evening group has reached capacity, but there are two spots in the Tuesday evening group that meets from 6:30-8:30. For now, the group is meeting online (through Zoom). Contact Paige Whittle if you are interested in learning more about this group.
