“For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. ”
SPIRITUAL FORMATION FOR OUR ADULTS
Discipleship is the act of following Jesus daily, and seeking to continue to grow more and more in relationship with him and with the world. Jesus chose 12 disciples to follow him closely while he was here on earth. Then he asked his disciples to "go and make disciples of all nations."
We believe that Christian formation is on-going in all of us. At Salem, opportunities are provided for adults to deepen in their faith, and grow in their knowledge and understanding of God, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Sunday Adult Bible Study. This study meets each Sunday morning at 9:30 am in the Lydia room, a room named after an early member of the church who served as a missionary in Latin America. The group is led by Carol Allison, and the group agrees on study topics. This spring’s curriculum is focused on prayer.
