Spring 2026 Christian Formation

St George's is a church committed to Jesus' directive to love God with all of who we are, including our mind (Matt 22.37).  The Great Commission in Matt 28 commands the Church to teach as a part of making disciples.  Immediately after Pentecost, the book of Acts tells us that they committed themselves to the Apostles' teaching (Acts 2.42).  A faithful church builds up the minds of believers.

Weekly Christian Formation opportunities at St George's come directly after our 10:00 AM Sunday liturgy, often with good food and always with great discussion!

Our Spring 2026 schedule starts with a series by Fr Jason on World Religions, followed by a Lenten focus on Christ in literature (with sessions led by Fr Jason, Sally Judge, and Bailey Sexton), resuming with World Religions after Easter.
