Faith Formation & Spirituality Groups
We have a place for everyone!
At First Pres, Kirkwood adults connect through fellowship before and after worship, at special events like our annual Christmas Choir Concert and Dinner, wine tastings at Grapevine Wine, singing in the choir, serving on a committee like Buildings and Grounds, or attending a Sunday School class. All of our activities involve groups of people coming together in mutual respect and support. To learn more about connecting at church contact the Church Office at office@kirkwoodpres.org or click through the links to check out the groups below!

Faith Formation
The objective of faith and spiritual formation is the conscious integration of a worldview that recognizes the presence of the God who dwells among and within us (Luke 17:20-21).
Our Spiritual Formation group gathers monthly to read together and reflect on aspects of our spirituality. We read and reflect on brief articles pertaining to the spiritual life; pausing periodically to reflect on and discuss words, phrases and ideas that stand out to us. We meet remotely via Google Meet on the 2nd Sunday of each month from 9-10:00 a.m. Please contact the Church Office if you're interested!
