Becoming an Episcopalian
Adults new to our church are invited to formally affiliate with The Episcopal Church. If you have never been baptized, we are delighted to offer that sacrament; please speak with one of our supply priests or with the Warden. If you have never been confirmed, you may prepare for confirmation as an adult or older teen. If you come from a church where you have already been confirmed by a bishop, you can be received into The Episcopal Church. Preparation for baptism, confirmation, and reception occurs periodically.
Adult Formation
Adult Christian Education and Formation primarily occurs through a Sunday morning Book Discussion Group, which meets on the lower level of the church from 9:00 to 9:45 AM. The group is currently studying Fr. Thomas Dubay’s Fire Within: St. Theresa of Avila, St. John of the Cross, and the Gospel on Prayer in conjunction with St. Theresa’s The Interior Castle.
Former studies have included A Generous Community: Being the Church in a New Missionary Age by C. Andrew Doyle, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Texas; Walk in Love, Episcopal Beliefs & Practices, by Episcopal priests Scott Gunn and Melody Wilson Strobe; and Abraham Heschel’s The Sabbath.
In addition, the congregation occasionally partners with Christ Episcopal Church/Lutheran Chapel for seasonal studies, such as the Spring 2026 study of the Apocryphal book of Tobit in conjunction with Frederick Buechner’s novel, On the Road with the Archangel.
Education for Ministry (EfM)
Advance registration required.
Through weekly meetings (Sept – May), this four year course provides participants with an overview of the entire sweep of the Christian tradition, from the earliest period to the present.
