Christian Education for Adults
Adult Christian Education allows participants to explore a variety of subjects each Sunday at 10:00 a.m. From examining the Apostle's Creed, to finding out more about community programs, adults have many chances to broaden their knowledge base!
"After Hours"
Kerygma is quite popular at St. Matthias and has two opportunities for participation. The "day" group meets on Wednesday mornings at 10:00. The "night" group meets on Monday evenings at 7:00. They will resume their discussions in September of 2009 after the summer break.
Inquirer's Class is periodically offered on Sunday afternoons to members 16 and older who wish to be confirmed or simply want to learn more about the Episcopal Church.
Men's Group meets on Wednesday mornings at 8:30.am for discussion and reflection as members explore various books.
