SEA

Spiritual Exploration for Adults =Introduction To SEA=

Spiritual Exploration for Adults (SEA) provides opportunities for adults in the church to deepen and explore their faith. SEA provides high quality programs on Thursday evenings which focus on spiritual development in three areas: theology, spiritual practice and ethics. Programs are compelling, high quality, of general interest and engage participants in personal spiritual development. Programs also serve to integrate participants into deeper relationship in the church community. The Spiritual Exploration for Adults Committee is responsible for the SEA program with staff support from the Director of Lifespan Religious Education. **Childcare is provided upon request.**

= Register for SEA Courses = Registration is available on Sunday mornings after the service at the Adult Programs Table.
