Adult Formation & Fellowship

Growing in faith, together.

At St. Peterโ€™s, we believe that faith is a lifelong journey. Our adult formation groups create sacred space for learning, prayer, connection, and transformation. Whether you're new to the Bible or seeking deep theological study, there's a place for you here.

Sunday Forum

Our Sunday Forum is currently on summer break, but will return in the fall. Click below if youโ€™d like to catch up on what weโ€™ve been studying.

Bible Studies

  • A group of 16 women gathered together in a room, standing and sitting in front of abstract artwork on the wall, smiling and posing for a group photo.

    Women's Bible Studies

    Dive deeper into Scripture in a welcoming, discussion-based setting.Studies are inclusive; welcoming all, regardless of background or beliefs, to read and understand scripture together, build spiritual community, and support one another in faith.

    Men's Bible Study

    Join Deacon Pete Martin and a welcoming group of men for honest, engaging conversation around Scripture. No prep neededโ€”just curiosity and community. Meets 1st and 3rd Tuesdays on Zoom.

Monday Book Group

Our Monday Book Group meets every Monday from 1 โ€“ 2:30pm in the Library. Beginning October 19, weโ€™re reading the book Ten Movements of the Jesus Way Australian professor Graham Joseph Hill. Hill invites us to focus on a way of life rather than a set of beliefs. Through biblical reflection and practical wisdom, we can embark on a journey as followers of Jesus and replace the goals of the 21st Century of success, wealth, and recognition with kindness, grace, and welcome.

Feel free to show up any week โ€” no need to RSVP.

Education for Ministry (EfM)

Education for Ministry (EfM) is a unique four-year, small-group formation program based on study and practice in theological reflection. Many of St. Peterโ€™s parishioners have gone through the process and found it to be immensely fulfilling โ€” especially since weโ€™re fortunate to have some great EfM coordinators!
