Growing in discipleship never ends. Here at St. Paul’s we rejoice in that fact! Learning is a life-long process and we believe the best learning engages the whole person. Our offerings in Adult Education cover a wide-range of topics and issues and aim to be engaging, relevant and faithful to our responsibility of life-long learning and living before the face of God.
Our recent offerings have included these forums:

• Following C.S. Lewis in Prayer
• Peacemaking as A Way of Life
• The Book of Common Prayer
• Left Behind: Are There Other Ways to Understand the Book of Revelation
• Favorite Psalms

Discovering St. Paul’s

This three-week class, led by the Rector, is offered three times a year and is open to all. If you want a refresher course in the Gospel, learn more about St. Paul’s, or want to belong more fully to our congregation, this class is for you! Room G-2.

Keeping The Word Alive

This conversational, lay-led class is offered every Sunday except when we have an All Parish Coffee Hour or when otherwise pre-empted. We examine the readings of the day, usually focusing on the gospel lesson. Bring your willingness to learn and to listen to conversations that promise to be informative, challenging, thought-provoking and fun. Room G-4.

Education for Ministry

EFM provides non-ordained people a spiritual and theological experience of the breadth and quality usually only found in seminaries. In a small group that meets once a week, participants will learn about the great sweep of the Christian tradition and learn ethics, liturgy, modern theology, the relation of Christ to culture and more. The course follows a four-year program, with each program year lasting 32 weeks. Contact Michelle Tognetti in the Church Office for more information.
