Spiritual Formation
You are invited to a three-year plan of reading the Bible
following the assigned lectionary readings Monday-Thursday
and the readings for the upcoming Sunday on Friday.
Spiritual Formation at CHBC is about guiding and nurturing each person to more nearly and fully "walk in the way of Jesus." We strive to teach the Biblical Story, to impart the Christian heritage, and to nurture this faith community in being the people of God.
Among the ways we seek to discern what it means to walk with God are various classes that meet on Sunday morning from 9:30 until 10:30. The classes include:
Agape/Harmony Class - Carolyn Posey, teacher

Seekers Class - Tom Leuze, teacher
co-ed class for older adults meets in classroom off Fellowship Hall
Barnabas Class - Ed Canada and Rick Forest, co-teachers
open to all adults meets in the Church Media Center off the Birchwood Lobby
Youth Sunday School Classes - meet in the Youth Room located below the sanctuary. Classes are offered for 6-7th grade girls, 6-7th grade boys, 8-9th graders, and 10-12th graders.
Children's Sunday School Classes - all elementary aged classes meet on the 3rd floor of the Burhans Education Building.
