Adult Formation
Growing in Christ is a lifelong journey, shaped by worship, service, study, and prayer. At St. Thomas, we gather online and in person to learn together. Here are some of our adult formation offerings.
Sunday
Perspectives | 9:30am on Zoom
A gathering to explore Christian teachings in church and society.
Other Offerings
Journey Groups
These small groups (8 to 10 people) will meet weekly over ten weeks to discuss a video lesson prepared by Dr. Denny Clark. The series we are using this Fall is Transforming Questions, an exploration of questions of faith we all ask and how our understanding changes as we grow in Christian maturity. The goal is to deepen faith and build community. If you join a group, we ask that you make it a priority and try to attend almost every session. Groups will meet on Wednesdays (inside or outside, masked distanced), at other times during the week (chosen by the group), and on Zoom. We hope every St. Thomas adult will join a Journey Group. Sign up by completing the Ministry Pledge and indicate when you would like to meet.
