Inquirers Class
Inquirers Classes are for people new to the Episcopal Church and confirmed Episcopalians alike who wish to learn more about the distinctive traditions of the Episcopal Church and COS. We learn about church history, scripture, the Book of Common Prayer, the catechism within the Book of Common Prayer, and the sacraments.
For those adults wishing to participate in the sacrament of Confirmation, this class is part of the journey towards that goal. Candidates for adult baptism are also encouraged to attend. Contact the office for further information.
Adult Forums
Throughout the year you can find stimulating presentations and discussion on a variety of spiritual topics. These occur seasonally, such as during Advent, Epiphany, and Lent, but also during other times of the year as well. Adult Forums meet at 9am in the conference room of the Parish Commons. Information about specific forum programming can be found on the home page of our website, under News & Events, and in our weekly eNewsletter which you can sign up to receive by using the button at the top of the screen.
