Adult Formation & Fellowship

Growing in faith, together.

At St. Peter’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

Sunday, January 4 the Adult Forum begins a study of the Old Testament led by Professor A. J. Levine, using her series in the Great Courses Plus. Join us as AJ leads us through twenty-four, 30-minute video lectures scanning the OT from Torah to Wisdom to Prophets. After the video we'll have time to discuss each week's subject. No book is necessary, though if you want you can access the course videos and guidebook, available by subscription from the Great Courses Plus website.

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. Peter’s parishioners have gone through the process and found it to be immensely fulfilling — especially since we’re fortunate to have some great EfM coordinators!
