We use the word “formation” to name the fact that what we do when we engage our Christian faith isn’t simply an intellectual exercise, but a daily practice—one that takes place over a lifetime. We are formed into whom we are called to be as we study, pray, and live out our faith together.
In addition to Sunday worship services, we have an online daily Morning Prayer offering through Facebook Live. During the seasons of Advent and Lent, we hold contemplative Wednesday evening services in our Chapel. Our adult studies take the form of Sunday Forums, book groups, movie nights, and special offerings sponsored by various ministries.

Adult Formation Offerings
Sunday Forums – Current Series
On Sundays during the formation hour in the Chapel (10:15-11 a.m.), join St. Paul’s clergy as we slow down with Scripture and study the gospel assigned for our current lectionary year: the Gospel according to Luke. We will spend our time walking through the text deliberately, arriving at the final scenes of Christ’s passion and resurrection just as we enter the season of Lent.
