Upcoming Programs Through Diocese

Online Confirmation Course

July 21 - August 25 | Monday Nights @ 6PM
Individuals seeking to be confirmed or received in The Episcopal Church are warmly invited to join the Rev. Olivia Hamilton, missioner for lifelong formation, for a six-part online preparation course. 

Together, we'll use the wonderful text Walk in Love: Episcopal Beliefs and Practices by Scott Gunn and Melody Wilson Shobe as we explore the basics of the Christian faith, and how we live into our call to follow Jesus as members of The Episcopal Church in this time and place.

Participants are encouraged to come with open hearts and minds. The course intends to honor diverse experiences and learning styles, and to invite robust discussion!

This course is intended to provide an opportunity for confirmation formation for those without access in their home congregations. This class is open to all candidates, regardless of age or whether they plan to be confirmed on September 6th.

"Famously known as the text that Martin Luther King Jr. sought inspiration from in the days leading up to the Montgomery bus boycott, Howard Thurman's Jesus and the Disinherited helped shape the civil rights movement and changed out nation's history forever."
