THE EXPLORER SERIES

Are you interested in learning more about some aspect of your life of faith with a supportive group of people? The Explorer Series provides a unique opportunity for people to connect with others for a few weeks to enhance their journey as followers of Jesus in the contemporary world. These short courses are meant to complement learners in their congregations while deepening their faith understanding in their explorer group. Participants practice reading the Bible as a progressive Christian, finding a prayerful spiritual path for our present lives, and learning the aspects of UCC’s history that have made and continue to make UCC congregations diverse and progressive.
