One mark of the Christian life is ongoing growth in the knowledge and love of God. Our own spiritual formation is lifelong, and Nativity seeks to provide a variety of settings to nurture this growth.

Adult Forum

On Sunday mornings at 9:30am, our Adult Forum meets to engage with a rotating series of offerings. Previous year's programs included an in-depth study of the Book of Exodus, a series of facilitated conversations on the challenge of church security, an historical survey of the first four centuries of Christianity, a six-week sprint through the Book of Acts and a group reading of The Christian Theology Reader 3rd Edition by Alister McGrath.

MISSION MISSISSIPPI

The first Thursday of the month, members participate in the Leflore County Chapter of Mission Mississippi, a group which builds relationships through prayer across racial and denominational lines. We gather for breakfast or lunch, hear a word of encouragement from the host pastor, then break into small groups to share what’s on our hearts and pray for one another.

Gray Center

Nativity is a part of the Episcopal Diocese of Mississippi, and many of our members take part in formation offerings held at the Diocese’s Camp and Conference Center just 80 minutes south of Greenwood. Among the offerings hosted at Gray Center is Cursillo, a renewal retreat and “short course in Christianity” put on by lay and clergy leaders from across the state.
