Adult Classes
Adult Formation focuses on providing opportunities for the continuous growth of Christian education. Throughout the year, weekly classes, study groups, quiet days, and lecture series are offered to our congregation and the community, giving adults the chance to broaden their knowledge of faith.
Fall Sunday Class: Maturing in Christ
Sunday mornings
10 a.m. in Saint Michael Chapel
What are the marks of a mature disciple of Christ? How do we know we are on the correct trajectory of growth of our faith and action? If Christianity is a lifelong journey, how do I know where I am on that journey and how to progress?
We are pleased to introduce a new, two-year series of Adult Formation called Maturing in Christ (MiC). Each of the four semesters of MiC include study and reflection upon scripture, prayer, theology, stewardship, worship, ministry, and our shared history of the people of God. Adults of all ages and stages will be led by one of our clergy or lay teachers in thoughtful teaching and conversation about how we can continue to mature in our relationship with Christ.
The marks of a mature follower of Christ are: a deep and consistent prayer life, regular worship, small group participation/growing in faith formation, stewardship of time, talent, and treasure, a personal commitment to ministry/outreach, and an understanding of the grand narrative and major stories of scripture. This series addresses and encourages growth in all of these areas. As deep cries out to deep, the goal is to help every parishioner on their path toward full stature in Christ (BCP baptism service).
