Whether you’re new to the Christian faith, The Episcopal Church, St. Paul’s, Ivy, or if you’ve been at St. Paul’s forever, you’re invited to join us for Living Your Faith, the popular small group program that explores the basics of our Christian faith, the Anglican/Episcopal tradition, and the worship and ministries of St. Paul’s, Ivy! This group provides a unique opportunity to ask all those hard questions you’ve always wanted to ask clergy in the context of a small group of folks who are new (or new-ish, or not-so-new) to the parish.
Fr. Justin and Mtr. Amanda meet with this group over the course of five sessions to explore what it means to live as a Christian and an Episcopalian in the world today. How do we read the Bible? What do we really believe? What’s so special about the sacraments? How exactly did the Episcopal church come to be? And what does it mean to be a member of the St. Paul’s, Ivy parish family? These seem like simple questions, but you’ll be surprised at the richness of the conversations they inspire! Come ask all those questions you’ve always wanted to ask, in a friendly small group environment.
Living Your Faith groups
New sessions are offered throughout the year. If you are interested in joining a Living Your Faith group, please email Mthr. Amanda or Fr. Justin to let them know.
Participation in this group serves as preparation for adult Baptism, Confirmation, or Reception into the Episcopal Church from other denominations, as well as membership at St. Paul’s, Ivy. Childcare can be made available if needed.
