Our adult spiritual formation program is designed to offer everyone – regardless of where you are on your own spiritual journey – a chance to intentionally explore faith. We divide our spiritual formation opportunities into three categories following a somewhat natural progression, although most faith journeys aren't a linear process. Start practicing your faith in whatever stage you find yourself, but keep in mind that each of these aspects are integral to the journey of spiritual formation.

READY TO ACT?
Join one of TPC's Action Teams!
Each team meets on a monthly basis and acts as a catalyst to promote hope and healing in a specific sphere of our community.
-
PEACEMAKING ACTION TEAM
Called to be “peacemakers,” at TPC we understand our call to help bring about a more just society. So while we recognize that good and faithful folks can disagree on all sorts of issues, we still explore them openly and honestly, looking for how the Spirit may be calling us invest ourselves in helping to heal areas of society’s brokenness. Ignoring society’s problems will only help them grow—we are called to engage and invest.
-
EARTH CARE ACTION TEAM
God not only blesses us with creation, God calls us to care for it. We take to heart this central tenet of our covenant with God, and work to lead both churchgoers and the community-at-large in addressing the growing environmental concerns we face.
-
HUNGER ACTION TEAM
The violence of poverty is both global and local. The Maryland Food Bank estimates that one in every nine Marylanders (including one in six kids) suffers from food insecurity. This causes more than just hunger pains. Food insecurity can lead to malnourishment, struggles in school due to an inability to concentrate, and social stigma. At TPC, we know we can and must do something about it.
