Adult Formation, Bible Study, and Fellowship

---

We human beings are created to be in relationship. We believe that God wants a relationship with each and every one of us. That connection to God is nurtured through prayer, worship, formation, Bible study, and fellowship. St. Christopher's offers opportunities to grow in relationship to God, to each other, and ourselves by connecting with others. You need not be a member of St. Christopher's to participate in these opportunities for learning and growth.

Current Adult Formation Opportunities

If you are new to the parish and want to check out a particular group, please email the Rev. Chana Tetzlaff if it isn't clear where the group is meeting.
