Adult Faith Formation

At Unity Church, adult faith formation is a double helix, with strands of faith formation and antiracist multiculturalism joined together to build a more loving and effective life. Director of Membership and Hospitality Laura Park and congregant Angela Wilcox introduce this double helix. 
This page offers you practices that can help you build that loving and effective life: within, among, and beyond. Ready to develop practice for your own double helix? This worksheet can help you get started.
