Adult ministries at Christ Church recognize that Christians need relationships to grow.  Our ministries touch people in different stages of their lives and different stages of their faith.  They help individuals connect with others on the journey.

Adult ministries enrich lives and equip for ministry and mission in the world.

Adult Sunday School classes meet each Sunday morning throughout the school year, during both the 9:30 and 11:00 a.m. worship hours.  Some short-term options are also available.

Weekday, Wednesday Night and Sunday Night classes provide short-term challenges to deal with “Learn and Live” topics, social issues, book studies and Spiritual Gifts.

Disciple Bible Study I, II, III, IV and Christian Believers are full-year programs that help participants learn the Bible and grow in faith, commitment, and community.

Covenant Discipleship Groups and small group Bible studies are a part of the small group ministries.

Special Events

Guest speakers and teachers from Pittsburgh Seminary and from within the United Methodist denomination are occasionally brought in to teach Sunday morning or Wednesday evening classes.

All leaders in the church are learners and all learners can become leaders.  Leadership events, with nationally recognized experts, are scheduled for the congregation and staff periodically throughout the year.  The goals are training, inspiration, and development of creativity in ministry.

Retreats provide renewal.  We sponsor an annual Spiritual Life Retreat, fall and spring Singles Retreats, Women’s Retreat, the Mom’s Family Retreat, and Walk to Emmaus weekends.

Activities and Groups

We provide places to put what we know into practice and to create relational experiences, such as:

Triple A – For those over 55, there’s a monthly gathering, a lunch and program, or a day trip.

Book Group – A monthly gathering to discuss the book of the month.

Craft Options – A needlework group meets twice monthly.  There are other options available occasionally.

Drama Team – Provides actors for each “Sunday Night” worship team.

Bridge Groups – Couples groups and singles groups meet monthly in homes.  We offer lessons and occasional large-group couples events at church.

Supper Clubs – Groups of four couples meet monthly in homes and restaurants.
