Programs for Adults
Alpha
Alpha is our no questions asked, jargon-free, introduction to the Person and beliefs at the heart of Christianity. Alpha is a free ten-week course in which we feed you dinner, give you a stimulating talk about the Bible’s answers to the questions of life, and give you time in a pressure-free environment to discuss what you hear among fellow seekers.

The Marriage Course
The Marriage Course is open to anyone who has been married for at least one year. This course is designed to enrich any marriage (whether you consider yours to be great, or in need of a few ‘tweaks’)—and to bring you further along in your relationship with each other—and also to help you learn how to grow together spiritually. Registration is limited to 10 couples and is free.

Short-Term Mission Opportunities
Each year, we send parishioners on short-term mission trips to our friends in Tanzania. A typical trip includes visiting parishes we support, worshiping with many different congregations, sharing your own story of faith, and doing some sight-seeing along the way. Often, these trips result in close (and new) relationships with individuals, and re-energizing our parishioners for their own ministries back home.

The New Members’ Class
This class is for those new to Saint Paul’s who wish either to become full members, or simply want to know more about who we are and what we’re doing. Typically held on the first Monday of the month, check the website’s calendar to verify time and meeting place. The class usually lasts no longer than one hour. We encourage you to call ahead and let Gail Winkley know that you’ll be attending.

Saint Paul’s Outing Club (SPOC)
The Saint Paul’s Outing Club strives to meet monthly throughout
the year to take advantage of the broad range of outdoor activities available
in this area. In the past few years we’ve kayaked, skied, hiked,
and eaten a fair share of pizza and ice cream afterward.

Small Group/Home Group Bible Studies
Home groups are Jesus focused communities of 8-16 that usually meet
in parishioners’
homes on a weekly, bi-monthly or monthly basis. You’ll enjoy growing
friendships, a deeper understanding of the Bible, and real support and
encouragement for your spiritual journey.
