Adult Education
Plymouth's adult education programming is rooted in the belief that faith is not static — it grows, shifts, and deepens through curiosity, conversation, and community. Our offerings span contemplation, theology, current events, and justice, and are designed to meet people wherever they are in their journey.
Offerings
From Sunday Forum to small groups, book discussions, and contemplative practice, Adult Education offers many ways in — find the full schedule on the calendar below. Some offerings ask for registration or keep groups intentionally small, so if you're interested in visiting or joining, start with a note to Kate Taber, Director of Spiritual Formation, at KateT@plymouth.org. She'll help you find the right fit and make sure there's a seat waiting for you.

Kate Taber, Director of Spiritual Formation
Kate came to Plymouth by way of a ministry that has ranged widely: college chaplain in South Carolina, Presbyterian Church (USA) mission co-worker for peacemaking in Jerusalem, minister in an urban congregation, and congregational organizer with Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative — the affordable-housing collaborative Plymouth helped launch.
At Plymouth, she guides the ministries that help people deepen their spiritual lives at every age and stage
