Chatham Formation Classes

Chatham Formation Classes are designed to offer comprehensive spiritual formation through teaching and training. We use this time to make disciples of Jesus through four core areas of instruction, including Sound Doctrine, Christian Vocation, Spiritual Practices and Missional Living. We also utilize this time for prayer, fellowship, ministry connections and more throughout the year.


All classes and events begin at 9 a.m. unless otherwise noted, and everyone is welcome to attend, though some classes may require prior registration. A lift is available in the gym for upstairs access.

See children's Sunday School details on our Kids & Youth page.

  • Loving One Another: a look at 33 one-anothering commands from the New Testament

    Led By Dave Greiner, Fellowship Room Upstairs

    [SOUND DOCTRINE]
    On the night before Jesus went to the cross, He told His disciples in the Upper Room, “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” (John 13:34-35, ESV)

    Have you ever wondered what this love Jesus commanded really looks like? He said that we are to love one another as He loves us. How do we know that we are really fulfilling this extremely important command?

    During this 11-week series, we'll consider how these commands are in the Bible to help us know and practice exactly what love is supposed to look like, including how we should “regard one another as more important that yourself,” “live in peace with one another,” “be tender-hearted to one another,” “bear with one another,” “forgive one another,” “bear one another’s burdens” and “be kind to one another.”
