Adult Formation
Grow in Faith Throughout Life
St. Paul’s seeks to be a vital and mature community of faith. We believe God is at work in every life, inviting us into a deeper relationship with the Divine and with one another. Adult formation offers thoughtful, supportive places to bring questions, explore Scripture and tradition, pray, and grow into the people God created us to be.
We do not expect people to arrive with all the answers. Christian formation gives us companions and practices for living the questions with honesty, hope, and faith. Scripture, the Episcopal tradition, and the God-given gift of reason help shape the journey.

Education for Ministry (EFM)
A four-year program of theological education and reflection developed and accredited by the School of Theology at the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee.
No previous theological background is required. Adults of any denomination, at any point in their faith journey are welcome.
Led by a trained mentor, each session begins with worship or meditation. Participants discuss weekly readings in Scripture, church history, or theology. Theological reflection is practiced by asking where God is present in lived experience and what that presence means for the way forward.
Study is joined with prayer, fellowship, care, and humor.

Early Bird Book Study
This group gathers on Tuesdays from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. via Zoom. Members take turns choosing books and create a circle of trust for reading, reflection, silence, and honest conversation.
