Mission Statement for Christian Formation

God is radiantly present in the world, in our community, and in our church. In joyful response to God’s presence we seek to provide opportunities, presented from the Anglican perspective, for deeper Christian faith, equipping and enabling each of us to serve as conduits of God’s unconditional love for all people. And, as God calls children into ministry, we affirm and validate their relationships with God and their community.We believe that Christianity is a way of life, learned through participation in the life of the Church, and practiced over a lifetime, and that the way to begin is to engage in this process.

Christian Formation

We offer Formation opportunities for all ages every Sunday morning. The children’s class is using Godly Play this year. The Godly Play format tells the stories of the Bible in a way that encourages the children to interact with the stories and thereby make them their own. The youth will continue using the Season’s of the Spirit curriculum. This curriculum is lectionary based (the scripture stories explored are the same lessons that will be heard in the worship service that morning). This curriculum is the first internationally developed curriculum, involving partners from four countries. The Seasons of the Spirit emphasizes worship, spiritual formation, and the arts.

 There are three adult classes. Two are bible classes and one will be a book study of Verna Dozier’s book The Dream of God. The first bible class is a systematic bible study – studying one book at a time. The second class is lectionary based – studying the lessons that will be heard at the worship service. The class will study the book our bishop has recommended.
