Adults
Adult classes and studies are a time our community sets aside in order to plunge deeper into the “what” and “how” of living in God’s Kingdom. Taking time to submit ourselves in study under God’s Word is part of how the Spirit transforms us more in Jesus’ image by seeking the renewal of our minds.
Because we desire to study God’s Word as disciples of Jesus, not as disinterested religious students, our goal is that we would not simply walk away having acquired more information about God, but rather walk away having our hearts pierced by God’s gracious Word (Hebrews 4:12) with a greater vision for following Jesus in his Kingdom.
Sundays
Fall A | August 16–October 4
In keeping with our mission to make disciples who make disciples, St. Andrew’s Church offers a robust adult Sunday school curriculum comprising three tracks: Core, Electives and Bible.
Each semester will be broken into two 8-10 weeks quarters and with two-three classes per quarter, which gives up to six different class opportunities each semester. Our summer session will have a class in the Bible track.
Are you new to St. Andrew’s? This class is for you! Everyone is welcome to attend this edition of the Newcomers’ Class as we learn what Anglicans believe, the history, vision and values of St. Andrew’s and explore how discipleship and liturgy function as the foundation for experiencing God’s transformative grace in everyday life.
From the final chapter of the Book of Acts to the Modern Era, we will examine ways in which the Spirit of God has moved to draw people to faith in Jesus Christ down through the centuries, while paying special attention to the Biblical principles and themes from Holy Scripture which God has used to reform and renew his Church. This course will conclude with a series focused on our Anglican heritage, including the Reformation in England, the Book of Common Prayer and notable missionary movements. Together, we will learn from the past so that we might be inspired to grow and persevere as disciples (apprentices) of Jesus.
Mid-Week
Gifted teachers bring to life the beauty of God’s word in an environment where relationships are built and people are able to interact in a conversational and relaxed setting. As we engage with God and his word in community with one another, we invite the Holy Spirit to come and renew our minds, reorder our priorities and reshape our habits around the person and work if Jesus Christ.

Join us as we meditate together on these foundational chapters of Scripture and what they say about God’s vision for the world he made, how we face—and sometimes fail—moments of testing, and God’s passionate commitment to rescuing the people and world he loves.
