Being Reformed: Faith Seeking Understanding is a series of biblically based mini-courses that provides adults with a foundational understanding of the Reformed faith. Each six-session study—written by well-known and respected scholars—features Scripture, a prayer, in-depth commentary, and questions for reflection. Each study addresses its subject from a Reformed theological perspective.
Lessons are enhanced through the Leader’s Guide, which offers helpful suggestions and direction for group study. The main structure for these guides is the rubric Head, Heart, and Hands.
“[The Being Reformed study] Temptation in the Desert is the best curriculum I have ever taught. It’s also very well received by young adult participants. Through word of mouth, attendance is increasing each Sunday.”
—Susan Burch, adult Sunday school teacher, First Presbyterian Church, Greer, South Carolina
“Being Reformed explores what makes us uniquely Reformed, distinctively centered in rich theology of learning and living in Christ. Our participants have found this curriculum to be informative and insightful as they travel their journey of what it means to be Reformed.”
—Rev. Mary Jo Hotley, First Presbyterian Church, Fargo, North Dakota
