Adult Formation

At All Saints, we believe in a lifelong journey of education, formation, and discipleship. As adults, we can grow ever deeper into Jesus Christ. We offer Bible studies, Sunday classes for adults, parenting classes, community groups, book clubs, and more!

Wondering where you fit in? Check out our regular Friday email (sign up above or below) and Parish Calendar for current mid-week and Sunday morning offerings (search “Adult Groups” or “Bible Study”.) Or contact Father BJ Buracker for information. He can point you in the right direction and match you with a group or study that is right for you. Mid-week classes are mostly in person (some also on Zoom – links are available from Father BJ or individual study leaders.)
