CHRISTIAN EDUCATION FOR ALL AGES is 10am-10:45am on Sundays 

Education is offered conveniently between our two services (both of which feature music and Holy Communion).  Some families come at 9am for worship and stay for education at 10am.  Some come at 10am for education and stay for worship at 11am.  Education is so important that we ensure education is accessible for the whole family, just as worship is for the whole family. 

The Rector's Bible Study is in person at 10am on Sundays in the parish hall (at the end of the main hallway).  It's a large class, mainly lecture in style, but also incorporates small break-out table discussion.  The class ranges from 30 to 60 people.  Please email for information.  In honor of the 1,700th anniversary of the Nicene Creed, this class will focus on the creed and is affectionately called "Coffee with Heretics."  You may wish to read Fitzsimmons Allison's Cruelty of Heresy, but that's certainly not required. 

Group Bible Study is a more conversational Bible study; generally 8 to 12 gather in the Old Vicar's Office in the Lower Level Education Wing at the end of the hall.  This friendly group ask questions, reflects together, and is eager to welcome you.  If you're looking for a smaller and conversational Bible study option, this is a great choice!  This Fall, they will be reading Paul's Letter to the Romans.  The study is facilitated by Dan Litfin. Please email for information.  I

During the summer, our 10am Education ministries go on break.  This is to give our teachers and other volunteers (well over 25 in total) a break and so we can focus on other areas of mission, for example, our Vacation Bible School and Youth Mission Trip.  We do, however, strive to offer different opportunities.  For example, we might have a weekday morning gathering or a Zoom Bible study.  Check back in late spring 2026 to find out our plans for summer 2026.
