Adult
Faith Formation
One of the four goals within the strategic plan of First Lutheran Church is to “grow in authentic relationships and discipleship through education, small group ministries, and fellowship opportunities”. To meet this goal, the Adult Faith Formation Ministry team here at First Lutheran plans and coordinates spiritual and educational opportunities for the growth and development of adult members and friends from the Detroit Lakes community.
These opportunities consist of Bible and book studies with discussion, guest presentations, health-related demonstrations and discussions, magazine article discussions, and special Advent and Lenten activities. Many of these are scheduled during the fall, winter, and spring programmatic timelines while a few have ventured out to the church’s green space during the summer.
Some of the past activities and events have included:
