Faith Formation
for Adults
Deepen Your Relationship to God
St. Francis Episcopal Church offers a number of ways for adults to deepen their relationship with God. These opportunities are both educational and spiritual, encouraging learning from clergy and from each other and developing better spiritual discipline. The goal is always a closer relationship with God and a fuller understanding of what God wants from us.
For more information about any of these opportunities, contact the church office.

Inquirers’ Classes
These classes, taught by the Rev. Mathews once or twice a year, are designed for anyone interested in learning about the Episcopal Church and its Anglican heritage, as well as for anyone who wants to delve more deeply into the Christian way of life generally. Although we will cover several topics and conclude the series with an Instructed Eucharist, this class is also grounded in seeking; therefore, significant time will be spent during each session on your questions.
