Adult Formation

Our journey is life-long as we grow in our human and Christian maturity by deepening our understanding of faith, fostering a relationship with God, and encouraging them to live out their beliefs in the world.

We gather weekly for conversation and study, building our relationships with each other and strengthening our community. All persons and questions are welcome.

Sunday Forum

Each Sunday, we gather in the Guild Room after coffee for a discussion on the lessons, music, and sermon from the morning service; with frequent special presentations. Children’s Sunday School is offered concurrently.

Bible Study

The St. Elisabeth’s Bible Study group meets weekly on Thursdays at 1:30 pm on the second floor. . We work through books of the Bible together, in a discussion facilitated by Fr. Spencer. For more information, contact the church office.

Book Group

The St. Elisabeth’s Book Group meets at 1:00 pm on the second Tuesday of each month on the second floor. Book selections span thought-provoking works from literature, philosophy, theater, and social criticism. All are welcome to join, and copies of each month’s book are available in the church office.
