Formation
What Is Formation?
In the Episcopal church, you will often hear the term “faith formation” used in reference to Sunday School classes or Bible Study groups, but it is so much more than that! Faith formation includes every action, experience, or relationship that nurtures and transforms our relationship with God. As our faith grows, it shapes the way we see and interact with God’s world.
At St. Paul’s we are committed to progressive Christian thinking. We embrace our commitment to nurture a curiosity of spirit and mind. We are spiritual space in which a diversity of people and perspectives are supported and shaped.
Are you interested in learning more about the Episcopal Church? Do you have questions about what makes our expression of Christianity unique? Do you wonder why we worship the way we do? If you answer yes to any and all questions above, our Newcomers Class is for you!
This is a four-week, in-person opportunity to gather with clergy, meet others, and explore what it means to call ourselves “Episcopalians.”
To sign up for our next class, contact Bo Cresswell.
Faith Formation invites us to learn more about being a disciple of Christ, encouraging people to explore what it means to live like Christ each day. We value the exploration of the intersection of faith and culture in our local, regional, and global communities. We seek to provide a safe space for people in all seasons of life through opportunities to listen, learn, share, and grow individually and communally as the church.
Contact Bo Cresswell to learn more about our offerings and where to participate.

We want children to know from day one that they are loved by God and our community. We also believe that children have a natural sense of spirituality and love of God. St. Paul’s offers programming that immerses our children in the stories and traditions of our faith.
