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.

Formation ClassES - Spring 2025

Our Spring session runs April 27-May 25.


HOLIDAY BREAK:
May 25 – Fellowship Breakfast
All kids' and adult Sunday School classes will take a break for Memorial Day weekend, and we'll enjoy a time of food and fellowship in the Activity Center starting at 9 a.m.

  • The Book Of Philippians
    Led By Kevin Hartman & Matt Lueken, Fellowship Room Upstairs

    | SOUND DOCTRINE |
    In this class, we will investigate what Paul's letter to the Philippians teaches us about how the church corporately and us individually are to act in community to have a positive influence on others in the name of Jesus.

  • Aging With Grace and Finishing Well

    Led By Dave Greiner & Mike Smith, Room 24/25 Upstairs (Class Starts May 4)

    | CHRISTIAN VOCATION |
    Over three Sundays, we'll seek to discover a biblical worldview on aging, rather than adopting what others in our culture may say. We'll look to the Scriptures to answer the following: Is there a "theology" of aging found in the pages of Scripture? How should we look at our physical or mental limitations as we age? How does the Gospel provide hope for those who are suffering as they age? Are there adjustments we can begin making presently toward our hope for finishing well?

Formation ClassES - SUMMER 2025

Our Summer session runs June 1-July 27.

  • Gospel Shaped Living
    Led by Pastor Josh Govier, Room 24/25 Upstairs

    | CHRISTIAN VOCATION |

    The Church of Christ should be a distinctive community of Gods' people—but how different are we, really, from the rest of the world? Explore God's Word to untangle some of the false ideas and traditions that have shaped church life in the past, and to reveal the more deeply challenging picture that emerges from the Scriptures.

  • The Book of Amos
    Led by Chuck Hlavaty, Fellowship Room Upstairs

    | SOUND DOCTRINE |

    Come hear about a small-town hick who took on the shakers and movers of Washington D.C. and turned the city upside down! (Oliver North?) But really, this happened in the time of Jonah, and the city was Bethel, the religious center of Baalism in the Northern Kingdom. It was Amos, with a message from GOD! See how God fights the battles, and how He sustains us in our walk.
