Adults

Small Groups

Scripture teaches us the importance of studying God’s Word, as it is the way in which He has revealed Himself to us. Studying Scripture together as God’s people also brings great joy and benefit. This is why we started a Small Group Ministry at St. Paul’s at be start of the new year. We want everyone to have the opportunity to gather with others around Scripture in a smaller, more personal setting at a day and time that works with busy family schedules. Look for more information to sign up in the Weekly Bulletin.

Pastors’ Adult Bible Study

Pastors alternate leading adult Bible class in the Fellowship Hall where a variety of biblical topics are discussed. These topics may originate from the day’s appointed Scripture readings or be part of a concentrated series on spiritual practices or biblical themes. Everyone, regardless of their level of biblical knowledge, is encouraged to join. There’s no pressure to provide answers or feel put on the spot when it comes to questions. A welcoming environment is created for all adults to engage with the teachings of the Bible.

Sisters in Christ

Women of the church who come together for Bible study on Wednesday evenings throughout the year. The face of this group is never the same. It is ever-evolving, depending on the season and personal activities.  Always open to women of all ages who want to participate.  Studies may be topical, like  grace or forgiveness, people of the Bible, or books of the Bible.

Supervised childcare is provided. The group meets in the school library. This is a great opportunity to mature in faith and make long-lasting friendships with women in the church family.
