At CF, our heart is for transformative faith and authentic relationships. One way we encourage this for adults is through environments of varied sizes, from small groups and classes to workshops and retreats, and everything in between.

cfAdult Ministry operates on a semester basis, usually beginning in the early fall and spring, and groups and classes meet on Tuesday and Sunday mornings, as well as Wednesday evenings.

Build Community

Wednesdays at Christian Fellowship

Wednesdays at CF is our primary opportunity for people of all ages to eat dinner together, connect, and grow in their spiritual journey. In addition to various adult groups and classes, we also have cfKidz and cfYouth ministry time. Wednesdays at CF happens for eight weeks in the fall and spring, and four weeks in the summer. 

Registration is closed for this semester. Check back later for classes offered in June!

And in Antioch the disciples were first called “Christians” (Acts 11:26). The Church didn’t call themselves that. The people of Antioch did. Why? What did they do? How were they unique?

Join us for Anticipating Antioch, an 8-week class designed to awaken our hearts to the prophetic call on Christian Fellowship to be an Antioch church. We’ll look at what Scripture has to say about God’s heart for oneness in Dr. Derwin Gray’s Building a Multiethnic Church while learning from others’ lived experiences and exploring race and Christianity. Think of your favorite authors, pastors, and teachers. Have you ever learned from a person of color? Come learn to see the Scriptures in a new light, understand historical patterns, and learn to act in a way that ushers in a greater sense of intimacy, unity, and oneness that Jesus prayed we’d experience.

Changes That Heal addresses the developmental steps that affect every area of life. It is essential to understand the ingredients of growth and the four areas mentioned: bonding, separating, accepting good and bad, and adulthood.
