UDLC hosts a variety of programs for its adult membership and to the community which it serves. The common purpose of each is to provide for the participant an experience for spiritual growth and awareness. Some of these programs fall under the direction of the Adult Christian Education Coordinator, Dottie Long, while others are organized and implemented directly by our pastors, Al Douglass and Dyan Lawlor, or by individual members of the congregation. Our programs evolve as the needs of our congregation and the community require. Each program provides the participant an opportunity to grow and share within the comfort of a small and supportive group. We welcome you to access our website and to read our church publications to learn more about these exciting opportunities waiting for you in your spiritual journey
