Education and Formation
Life-long learning is central to our spiritual growth, and it infuses everything we do, from our worship to our service in the community. St. Paul’s offers opportunities for all ages to engage, often inter-generationally, in faith formation. Our focus spans a full range of topics: Scripture, history, music and art, spirituality, theology, and justice.
Adult Formation
Several times a year, Adult Forum Series are offered, based on the season, current events, or parishioner's suggestions. Have a question you would like answered, or a topic you think should be explored? Share it with the Formation Team.
Children's Formation
During the 9 am service on Sunday, children ages 3-10 are invited to join in a special worship activity. They will gather at the font to hear the Gospel and then leave to take part in a special activity during the sermon and will return to service before communion. (Kids are welcome to bring their Grown-up along!)
