Adult Christian Formation
At St. Francis, we understand discipleship as a lifelong journey traveled in the context of a loving community. To that end, St. Francis boasts a rich variety of adult education and formation opportunities, both in large- and small-group settings.
We offer several adult formation opportunities throughout the week, which are detailed below. Between our two Sunday morning services, 9:15am–10:15am, offerings pertinent to the liturgical season (Advent, Epiphany, Lent, and Easter) are available. If you have any questions about our Adult Formation programs, please contact Fr. Drew.
Online Sunday Morning Formation during Easter
Each Easter season, the Church invites us to search for signs of new life, new creation in the beautiful light of the Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ. This Easter season, we will read together Barbara Brown Taylor's Holy Envy: Finding God in the Faith of Others. To allow you time to acquire the book, our gatherings will begin Sunday, April 26 at 9:15am via Zoom. If you are interested in participating or have questions, please contact Fr. Drew.
