The mission of St. Peter's Adult Formation Ministry is to lead adults into a deeper appreciation and living out of their baptism so as to build up the body of Christ. The process of Christian formation is one which has no end as our growth in holiness and knowledge and love of the Lord is not complete until we see God face to face. Through a variety of learning opportunities, St. Peter's Church equips adults to be more effective disciples of and witnesses for Jesus Christ in the world.

Winter-Spring Class Schedule Now Available!

St. Peter's offers adult classes in four distinct designations in St. Peter’s comprehensive Adult Formation Plan. The designations are as follows:

Catechumenate Classes

These classes are required for membership at St. Peter’s. They are also required for adults seeking to receive the sacrament of baptism and/or the sacrament of confirmation. These classes are intended to provide a basic foundation for discipleship and are also open to anyone wishing to deepen or renew his or her faith.

Post-Catechumenate

Classes in this category are intended to be taken immediately after completion of the Catechumenate. These classes serve the purpose of deepening and integrating what was learned in foundational classes.

None in Winter-Spring 2012

Intermediate Formation

Classes in this category are intended to provide growth in the essential Christian skills and knowledge necessary for a fruitful Christian life

Continuing Formation

Classes in this category are not necessarily more advanced but are more specialized in nature and are intended to help us continue the process of spiritual formation beyond the basics.
