Adult Formation
In the Episcopal tradition, faith isn't something you arrive at once and then set aside — it's something that grows and deepens throughout your whole life. Adult formation (or "Adult Forum" as we call it at St. Bede's) is our way of nurturing that growth together.
Think of it as ongoing spiritual education for curious, questioning adults: exploring scripture, theology, social justice, and the big questions of life in a space where no topic is off-limits and no question is too basic (or too bold). We believe that doubt, wonder, and honest conversation are all part of a living faith. Whether you're a lifelong Episcopalian or still figuring out what you believe, you're in the right place.
In the Episcopal Church, we do a lot of pew aerobics – standing, sitting, kneeling – during a worship service. Ever wondered about the “what and why" behind it? Join us Wednesday evenings at 8pm after the Midweek Service for a 4-week series featuring How2charist, a unique digital instructed Eucharist. This engaging video curriculum uses on-screen graphics, historical facts, and clear narration to guide us step-by-step through our liturgy. Over four weeks, we will explore the history, beauty, and deep symbolism of the Rite II Eucharistic service from The Book of Common Prayer. Whether you are new to the Episcopal Church or have been sitting in the pews for decades, this interactive series will bring fresh meaning to your worship experience. Bring your questions and a friend!
