There is a deep committment to spiritual growth for all ages at Dunbar Heights.

Preaching and prayer, music and celebration are central to worship. Rev. Michelle Slater leads worship most Sundays with congregation members and guests preaching as needed.

Children have a special place in worship at Dunbar and a special corner just for them during the early part of the service.

The special theme time for children engages young minds and imaginations in the stories of the Bible. There is attentive care for babies and toddlers, and Sunday classes for pre-schoolers through to high school students led by dedicated, caring teachers. Cathy Cryder is Staff Associate for the ministry to children, youth and families.

Spiritual Development for Adults

Disciple Bible Study

DISCIPLE is an approach to Bible study that emphasizes reading of and listening to Scripture. It results in biblically-nourished persons committed to live as disciples. During the course of 34 weeks, DISCIPLE groups move through the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. All DISCIPLE Bible study participants will read more than 70% of the Bible.

Prayer and Healing

Dunbar has groups of members trained in the practice of both Centering Prayer and Healing Touch. For more information, go here for Centering Prayer; here for Healing Touch; and here for Lectio Divina.

Dunbar Deepening

Building on a long tradition of Christian Education, a two-year initiative started in 2005 — a small group of new and long-time members began thinking about new directions for Christian Spiritual Development related to the resources and needs of our Dunbar family. For more information about that process, click here.

The Library

Don't know much about history? Don't know much theology?
Don't know much about the Holy Book? Don't know much about the Pentateuch?

The DHUC Library is a good place to explore questions, find answers, and think of more questions.It's one more way that we support the Spritual Growth of members. The library is located at the south end of the Christian Education Building. It has some comfortable chairs and sofas and is also used for meetings and Tuesday morning coffee hour.

The collection includes:

• Books by historic and contemporary theologians
• Books on Christian history
• Various translations and editions of the Bible
• Atlases, dictionaries and encyclopedias of the Bible
• Study and devotional material
• Literary works that have a religious theme
• Children's books of Bible stories
• Self-help books with a spiritual approach
• Holy books of other religions
