Lifelong Learning Events / Committee - Spirit and Light Collaborative
A Journey of Faith, Knowledge, and Growth
We believe that learning doesn't stop with age - it deepens with wisdom, experience, and faith. Rooted in religious values, our mission is to inspire and support lifelong learners as they grow spiritually, intellectually, and morally. Whether you're exploring scripture for the first time or continuing a lifelong study of your faith, this is a place to deepen your understanding, ask meaningful questions, and connect with a community devoted to continuous growth in God's truth.
Come and listen to a speaker, participate in a group, explore our resources, suggest a topic, or join our Lifelong Learning Committee. Learning is a sacred journey - and it lasts a lifetime. Future Lifelong Learning events will be posted on this page!
