                    Church School

                    An important part of church life is the education of our children to know that Jesus is living and active within them. Our program is centered in Scripture, Tradition and Reason. Each week our children are together for programs with curriculum that is developmentally appropriate. Our curriculum is lectionary based and follows the Scripture readings of the day. Our dedicated teachers foster an understanding in our students that we are called to live out the mission to which Jesus Christ has called us. Our church school is available to youth ages 2 through high school.

                    Inquirer’s Class

                    The Inquirer’s Class is for those who either are new to the Christian Faith, new to the Episcopal Church, or both. It is also available for those who wish to renew their commitment to the Faith, or to refresh their understanding of the Episcopal Church. This class meets for ten weeks. Sessions cover the basics of Christian belief and being an Episcopal (Anglican) Christian. If one desires, this class may lead to membership in the Episcopal Church via Confirmation (for those who have been baptized, but not yet received the laying on of hands by a bishop in the apostolic succession) or Reception (for those who have been baptized, and were confirmed by a bishop in the apostolic succession; usually: Roman Catholic or Orthodox). A current member of the Episcopal Church may wish to make a solemn Reaffirmation of the Baptismal Covenant.
