Adult Faith Formation

Two questions were asked about Faith Formation for adults.  We asked who offered faith formation for adults and if you do what materials have you used.  Several congregations said "various" & "They create their own".  But many also listed different resources and we have them listed below.  To see who the contact people are that answered this survey please use this link to ask for the password if you have some questions for them.
