Adult Forum
Each Sunday morning, the Adult Forum meets in the Parish Hall. From time to time discussion of various topics and issues involving the life of our parish may be featured, but typically we’ll be studying one book of the Bible at a time. All adults are invited to be part of this time for instruction in scripture and formation in faith. Child care provided.
Children’s Sunday School
Christian education for children ages 3-12 is a high priority at St. Mark’s. We offer a Lectionary-based curriculum that introduces the children to the themes and seasons of the Church Year and stories from the Bible.
We seek to nourish a natural love of God in them. A weekly service in the children’s chapel during the summer helps young Christians learn the liturgy in a child-friendly atmosphere. Children are welcome in the main services and generally join the congregation prior to communion each week. Sunday School classes meet from September through May.
All of our class leaders have completed the Safe Church training required to work with children. All who interact with children are required to complete the Safe Church program every three years. This includes learning modules and background check.
Confirmation Class
The confirmation class is a course in Christian discipleship which is intended to increase our knowledge, commitment and devotion to God in Christ. Special emphasis is placed on our identity as Anglican Christians coming from an ancient tradition of English Spirituality which has a unique blend of intellectual content with heartfelt emotional bonding with our Savior.
Classes are led by the clergy and may be supplemented by lay members of the parish who have a particular expertise in some dimension of Christian life and witness.
Teachers & Learners Bible Study
Women and men of all ages are invited to attend a Bible study class on Tuesday evenings from 7:00 to 8:00 Discussions are informal, lively, timely, and wide-ranging. We meet from September through May.
