This two-part series is for all adults interested in learning more about the Christian faith, in general, and the Episcopal Church, in particular. People who might take this series include:

  • Adults raised in other faith traditions who are interested in learning more about the Episcopal Church.
  • Individuals who have attended the Episcopal Church for a while but want to learn more about the denomination.
  • Individuals with no Church background or who have left the Church for a while but want to learn more about this denomination.
  • Any newcomer or member who wishes to deepen their relationship with God and the Christian community.
  • Anyone interested in making an adult profession of faith such as confirmation, renewal of baptismal vows or being received into the Episcopal Church.

Whoever you are and at whatever stage you are in your spiritual journey, you are welcome to attend the one-day class and the via media series.

Participants will be invited to enter a process that culminates in the Bishop’s visitation (date TBA) and the opportunity to be confirmed, received or renew their baptismal vows. Registration forms are on the bulletin board. Please return completed forms to the church office. Contact Heather Wiseman or Roger Greene, 474-4445.
