A new Three Forms of Unity Class on Sunday mornings (after worship) begins June 1. This is a twelve-week course designed as an orientation and/or refresher to the Reformed faith and the beliefs of Christ URC. This class is required for those interested in becoming a communicant member of Christ URC. On the other hand, you may already be a communicant member of Christ URC but you would like a basic review of the doctrines of the Protestant Reformation as summarized in our confessions. Whatever your situation is, this course is designed to get you to think about what you believe and why you believe it.
