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.

  • "I Am N" / The Voice of the Martyrs Virtual Event

    Led By Dave Greiner
    Fellowship ROom Upstairs

    | MISSIONAL LIVING |
    Ten years ago, the self-proclaimed Islamic State (ISIS) began marking Christian homes and churches with the Arabic letter “n,” or ن , as its fighters overran parts of Iraq. The symbol (“n” for “Nazarene”) marked the buildings as belonging to Christians and served as a threat to all believers in the area. Hundreds of thousands of Christians fled the country, but where are they today? And what about those who stayed behind?

    The Voice of the Martyrs presents "I Am N"—a virtual event where you’ll hear updates on Iraq and firsthand stories from three Christians who have paid the price for advancing the gospel in other places dominated by Islam.

Formation Class - Winter 2025

Our winter session runs January 5-March 9.

  • An Overview of the EFCA Statement of Faith

    LED BY Chatham ELDERS, Fellowship Room Upstairs

    | SOUND DOCTRINE |
    We will spend 10 weeks going through the EFCA Statement of Faith. This short systematic theology class will help us better understand and worship God, as well as live faithfully to His calling. It will also be a great way to understand what the EFCA believes as we consider joining the association.
