Education Ministries for Adults
OLD FAVORITES AND NEW OFFERINGS!
Our Chrisitan Formation Program is growing this year. As we move forward in our mission to make disciples for Christ we are putting a new emphasis on our formation programs. Life long Christian Formation is an important focus of the Episcopal Church. So important the our last General Convention passed a resolution making this a priority for this 3 year period. Some of our programs are continuing favorites, but others are brand new offerings
