“The Forum” features a wide variety of topics and presenters. The group makeup varies widely from week to week, and newcomers are always welcome to check it out! Each Sunday’s class is self-contained, so participants can pick and choose from the class selections, the collection of which provide a balanced offering of topics that are action-oriented, Bible-focused, contemplative, and/or discussion-rich.
