Christian Formation for Adults

Want to grow, become a better person? Who doesn't?

But sometimes our image of the life of faith is one of arrival, of settling in, of not growing. To be a Christian, we may conclude, is to reside comfortably in one place. We at St. Georg’s prefer the image of Paul the apostle, where he speaks of our always moving forward in spiritual maturity. The God who began a good work in you, he wrote, will carry it in on to completion.

We believe that adult Christian formation (that is, education) happens in a climate of expectancy for ongoing learning and growing. We know we are all unfinished, so at St. George’s we are nourishing a culture of becoming lifelong learners in the Christian faith. We have recently adopted a theme for our coming year of education: Deepening Our Discipleship: A Lifelong Process.

Adult class offerings vary with each season or semester. Most adult classes gather around topics or themes. Many of these opportunities happen Sunday morning at 10:05 a.m., while others, such as weekday Bible studies, Wednesday evening programs, or Companions in Christ small groups meet at other times.
