Adult Faith Formation Classes

BACK TO BASICS

Sunday, September 13, 9:15-10:15 AM
All adults
Fellowship Hall

Our theme for Faith Formation in Fall 2026 is Back to Basics, and for Christians that means the Bible. Some of the best—and worst—things in history have been motivated by our understanding of the Bible.

So we’re starting with a look at “the good book” on September 13. All adult classes will meet for a combined session in the Fellowship Hall at 9:15 AM. We’ll ask, “What is the Bible?” and “What is it even for?” and we’ll tell you some things about the Bible that might surprise you.

BETTER WAYS TO READ THE BIBLE

Sundays, September 20 - October 25 - 9:15-10:15 AM
Room 100

A discussion-based study inspired by Better Ways to Read the Bible: Transforming a Weapon of Harm into a Tool of Healing by Zach Lambert. In this engaging and enlightening book, Lambert dismantles the different “lenses" we use when we look at the Bible, some that lead to harm and others that lead to healing and wholeness.

Copies of the book will be available September 13 for those who are interested in owning one. Other copies to borrow are available in Wake County public libraries. Audio and eBook versions are available at online booksellers.

The PASTOR'S CLASS: ROMANS

Sundays, Beginning September 20, 9:15-10:15 AM
Fellowship Hall Annex

The Pastor's Class is an in-depth, lecture-based class with a wide range of topics. It is taught by our pastor and head-of-staff, the Rev. Dr. Paul Lang.

Join us for an engaging introduction to one of the most influential—and challenging—books of the New Testament: Paul’s Letter to the Romans. Together we’ll explore Paul’s vision of grace, faith, sin, salvation, new life in Christ, and the creation of a community in which old divisions are overcome.

No previous study of Romans is necessary. Bring your Bible, your questions, and your curiosity as we discover why this ancient letter continues to speak so powerfully to the life of faith today.

PILGRIMAGE CLASSES

The Pilgrimage is a nation-wide, multi-congregation ministry, led by our pastor, Rev. Dr. Paul Lang, for Christians hoping to grow deeper in their faith. Classes are offered in person at Cary Presbyterian Church as well as live-streamed.

 Faith Formation AT CPC

At CPC, we view faith formation as a process that informs, forms, and transforms us into disciples of Jesus Christ. Faith formation in the Christian church encourages people of all ages to:

  • Grow in our relationship with God throughout our lives;
  • Live as disciples of Jesus Christ at home, at work, and in the world; 
  • Develop an understanding of the Bible and our faith tradition;
  • Deepen our spiritual life and practices;
  • Engage in service and mission;
  • Relate the Christian faith to life today; and
  • Participate in the life and ministries of the faith community.

Faith Formation at CPC includes a variety of opportunities for learning and growing in faith for all ages. We hope you will enjoy learning with and from others on your faith journey. Please contact Reverend Alan Bancroft through the church office with any questions.
