Adult Christian Formation
An essential part of our faith life and fellowship involves Christian formation through study, reflection and conversation. The models for this type of discovery are numerous and varied: study of Scripture, investigation of our Episcopal/Anglican theology, looking at our common history through the ages, discussing the context of our present lives – our families, children and grand-children – in light of our faith, exploring art and music as reflecting the divine, sharing different methods of prayer, just to name a few.
It is in the gathering together, the sharing of fellowship, and always opening ourselves up to exploring and learning about our faith, that we further strengthen the blessing of our relationship with our Creator and each other. This is more about formation than it is about "education." Our lives are always changing; we are constantly forming and reforming what it means to be a disciple and apostle of Christ. St. Matthias is committed to providing ministry opportunities and meaningful programs which will help support and guide each person in our journey together.
The selection of topics varies, and every effort is made to listen to the wishes and desires of the parish in the preparation of our curriculum. Classes are held via Zoom on Wednesday evenings at 7pm.
We welcome everyone to join us for our online Wednesday night class at 7pm as we study the lecture series from The Great Courses on: “The Knights Templar.” These lectures will help us gain a deeper understanding of this remarkable military-monastic order in the medieval Christian world. Contact us at stmatthias@comcast.net for access to the Zoom classes as well as the handout.
