Adult Faith Formation
Building community through adult ministry
Our Purpose
The purpose of Saint Andrews’ adult education ministry is to provide opportunities for participants that nurture spiritual growth and knowledge of God and build community for living faithfully in the world. Faith formation is a lifelong process and we welcome and value learners at all ages and stages of faith and life.

Journey Class (Sundays, 9:30-10:20am in the Fellowship Hall)
Members of the Journey class gather in the fellowship hall each Sunday morning at 9:30 for a brief time of fellowship before we launch into the topic or Bible study that specifically relates to worldly topics and issues and our daily walk of faith. The goal is to have meaningful dialogue and discussion regarding today’s issues that impact us. From time to time, we will ask that you prepare ahead of time to allow for deeper, richer conversations.
The overall goal – and the driving force for this class — is to provide for the gathering of folks and the building of relationships. We also make sure we learn, laugh, encourage and support each other, and share together in our unique faith journeys. The ideal outcome? That we continue to grow in our faith and friendship with each other and our church family. This is a committed group that begins in September and concludes in the spring. During the year we may also have offsite events or other outings.
We invite you to join us on this “Journey”!

Disciple IV (Sundays, 9:00-10:00am via Zoom)
Disciple IV “Under the Tree of Life” is the final study in the four-phase DISCIPLE program. The 32-week study concentrates on Old Testament Writings, the Gospel of John, the Epistles of John, James, Jude, and finally, Revelation. Emphasis on the Psalms as Israel’s hymnbook and
prayer book leads naturally to an emphasis on worship in the study. Present through the entire study is the sense of living toward completion—toward the climax of the message and the promise, extravagantly pictured in Revelation. A study manual provides solid biblical commentary and a guide for completing weekly Bible readings.

Faith in Action (Occasional Mondays, 7:00pm-8:00pm via Zoom)
Join us for Matthew 25 Mondays to learn how we can put our faith into action. The Matthew 25 scripture “calls all of us to actively engage in the world around us, so our faith comes alive and we wake up to new possibilities.” We will host a series of educational sessions throughout the year, generally scheduled for Monday evenings on Zoom. These programs will explore a variety of topics focused on putting faith into action and Saint Andrews’ commitment to being a Matthew 25 congregation.
Men's Bible Study (Thursdays, 8:30am-9:30am in Room 6)
The Men’s Bible study has begun a series on the Book of Revelation. We hope you will join us as we unpack the book’s meanings, messages and truths.
