Christian Formation
ADULT CHRISTIAN FORMATION
St. Andrew’s offers two adult Sunday school classes that meet between church services: A Newcomers class open to everyone interested in learning more about the Episcopal tradition, and a class focused on classical and contemporary works of Christian spirituality, theology, and history. Sunday school classes and Bible study classes are taught by both parishioners and clergy. Daughters of the King has a chapter that meets on Sundays between services.
YOUTH CHRISTIAN FORMATION
Youth Christian Formation curriculum is parishioner-led by volunteer teachers who find great value in sharing that time with our children. Most find they learn something each time they teach a lesson. The lessons are guided by the liturgical calendar and instruct our youth on liturgy, church history, and Bible lessons.
CATECHUMENATE
St. Andrew’s has been a leader in the diocese in developing and providing a Catechumenate for the spiritual formation of new and prospective members. Any member who desires a better understanding of our faith is also encouraged to attend the class. Catechumenate begins during Epiphany and concludes with the Great Vigil of Easter.
EFM, AND CURSILLO
A vibrant EfM community meets on Tuesday nights during the academic year, and EfM alumni share a meal several times a year. We also have a strong Cursillo with active Ultreyas and participation in diocesan retreats at Camp McDowell.
