Adult Enrichment Classes

Our Lifespan Religious Enrichment (LRE) program includes a variety of experiences for adults in the ongoing quest of “growing a soul.” While our LRE Committee helps coordinate offerings, some Adult RE classes are sponsored by other church groups. We invite you to explore the many opportunities available!
