Adult Christian Formation
At St. Thomas', we believe that Christians must continually be learning in order to grow in their faith. Growing in our knowledge and love of the Lord means deepening our understanding of the Holy Scriptures, the history of the Church and the World, our particular faith traditions and liturgies, and, how our faith prepares us to meet life's challenges and opportunities.

We offer a variety of formation opportunities for adults and invite you to  join one or more of them! See below for more details about what is currently being offered.

The images of books shown below are, in most cases, links to order that book from our local independent bookseller, Tombolo Books. Please consider shopping local and supporting them. Never let the cost of a book prevent you from joining the group. If you need a book, speak to a member of the clergy privately and one will be provided for you at no cost.

Adult Bible Study: Our Men's and Women's Bible study groups are studying the Gospel of Matthew and you are invited to join!

The Men's Bible Study meet at 7:30 AM on Wednesday mornings in the Guild Room.

The
Women's Bible Study meets on Thursday mornings at 9:30 AM in the Guild Room.

Both Bible Study groups will follow the same track and Fr. Ryan leads both groups. The study guide we are using is: The Story of God Commentary: The Gospel of Matthew, by Rodney Reeves. Amazon sells it in both hardback and e-book formats, and you should choose whichever format is best for you.
Click here to buy your book. As always, if the cost of the book will prevent you from joining, a whispered word to Fr. Ryan is all that is needed to make sure a book is made available for you, gratis!

"[The Bible] is shallow enough for a child not to drown, yet deep enough for an elephant to swim." ~Saint Augustine
