Special Programs

Columbia’s Center for Lifelong Learning provides a rich variety of courses and events for church professionals and lay people. For complete beginners, there are many opportunities to begin exploration of a subject area.  There are also opportunities for those who wish to broaden and deepen their knowledge. A hallmark of our programs is the opportunity to learn in community with others, with ample time for discussion and reflection.
