Adult Education

Christian education is not just for children and youth. It is a lifelong process of growing in faith. At Overbrook, we offer a number of different opportunities for adults to explore the Christian faith in depth, and to work out the meaning of our faith in today’s world.

Adult Forum

Adult Forum meets in the Chapel from 9:15 to 10:15 am each Sunday morning during the school year, and provides a forum for study and lively discussion of the Bible, theology, ethics, and contemporary issues.

Bible Study

A weekly Bible Study group meets each Wednesday morning in McMillan Chapel, from 10:30 am to 12:00 pm. Usually led by one of the Pastors, this study sometimes explores the lectionary texts for the upcoming Sunday, and sometimes focuses on a particular book of the Bible or biblical theme. It offers a discussion-based format where all people can contribute and learn from each other.

Other Opportunities

Occasionally, other programs and events are offered for adults. These include lectures, retreats, workshops, book clubs, film discussions, museum tours, and short-term study groups. Check our Upcoming Events to the left.
