Dear Friends,
It is with great pleasure and anticipation that we provide you the Fall 2009 catalog for "Learning
For Life" A Center for Theological and Spiritual Growth at
FCFUMC.
As FUMC’s Adult Education ministry has grown and developed
over the past few years, it’s become clear that
our mission is not simply to offer more classes on a wider
variety of topics. Instead, our mission is to support the
spiritual growth of adult FUMC members and the community
at large by providing education, resources and community
that empower them to grow in faith, deepen in
theological reflection and become agents of transformation in our world.
As adults, we’ve moved beyond a traditional teacher/student learning model
with its emphasis on argument and expertise. We grow spiritually and theologically
through our engagement with others and through reflection on our
own experience. It’s through engagement with others that we become a learning
community of faith and we think of ourselves as both teachers and learners.
As members of a learning community of faith, we’re in a life-long process of
inquiry: What are meaningful ways for us to be Christian and to put our Christian
faith into practice in the world? This inquiry and our answers form or
shape our lives. It is the process and practice of Christian maturity. It is our
journey of faith.
Adult education is more than content – lining up teachers, developing programs,
leading Bible studies. It’s about developing learning communities that
become agents of transformation in the world. There is a link between our
formation as Christians and our awareness of God’s call to us as individuals
and as a church. For that reason, we’ve changed our name to Adult Faith
Formation. Working with the Northern Colorado Faith Library, Community &
World Outreach and other groups in the church, Adult Faith Formation offers
education, resources and community to enrich your faith journey.
We invite you to participate more fully in our learning community of faith as a
learner, as a mentor.
Martha Conant,
Adult Education Coordinator
