Two Newcomer’s Classes are offered every fall and spring by our clergy for those who are interested in learning more about being an Episcopalian and what it means to become a member of Old Donation Church.  The sessions  take place at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday in the Library

Do you have a real hunger to study and explore God’s word in Scripture? 

Well if the answer is “yes!” then we have just the thing for you. 

If the answer is “no!” then maybe we can help inspire you!

Join the growing crowd and see what it’s all about!

Throughout the year on Wednesday evenings, we offer a series of classes, whether Bible or Theology studies.

 Dinner is served at 6:30. 

Class is from 7:00-8:30. 

Please bring $3 to offset the cost of food.

Old Donation has a variety of other opportunities for Adult Christian Formation and training in lay leadership, including...

EfM

Education for Ministry, affectionately known as EfM, is a program of theological education-at-a-distance of the School of Theology of the University of the South. Students sign up one year at a time for this four-year program. It covers the basics of a theological education in the Old and New Testaments, church history, liturgy, and theology. Students meet regularly, usually once a week, in seminars under the guidance of trained mentors. The program grants a certificate at the completion of the four years and 18 Continuing Education Units for each year's work.  Our group meets every Tuesday evening from 6:30-9:30 p.m.

Cursillo

A short course in Christianity.  Cursillo weekends are for many people life-changing spiritual growth opportunities.  A chance to explore and deepen faith, retreats are offered seasonally and application is made through the diocese.

Stephen Ministry

Stephen Ministry equips lay persons to provide distinctively Christian one-to-one care to those who are experiencing all kinds of life needs and circumstances, both in our congregation and community.
