Bible Study
Our regular Bible Study meets every Wednesday at 11:00 a.m. in the Parish House, led by the Rector. Participants pick a theme or a book from the bible to discuss and study it until they are ready to move on. Much more than a class, those who gather for Bible Study find a safe space where they can share their lives and receive the love and support of others.
Inquirers’ Classes
We offer Inquirers’ Classes each year for adults and older youth who are interested in learning more about Christianity and the Episcopal Church. For adults who would like to be baptized, confirmed or received into the Episcopal Church, these classes are required. They are, however, available for all. Classes consist of anywhere between nine and thirteen sessions covering Scripture, Church Tradition, Reason, History, the Creeds, Ethics, Spirituality, and other topics of interest.
Baptism Classes
For parents who want their young children baptized, these Baptism Classes are required as preparation. They consist of three sessions covering:
- What is a Sacrament and what is Baptism?
- What are the Vows?
- What are the parents’/Godparents’ roles and responsibilities?
These classes are scheduled in consultation with the rector.
Pre-Marital Preparation
Also known as pre-marital counseling, this series of eight sessions is the process by which couples prepare for marriage. Classes cover what it means to be married, how Holy Matrimony differs from mere marriage, the marriage vows, and of course the rehearsal.
Occasional Classes
From time to time, especially during Advent and Lent, we offer classes in various areas. We’re always open to suggestions, so if there is an area of Christian Education you are interested in, let us know!
