Adult Education & Studies
Through adult education, webinars, and intentional book groups, continue your life-long spiritual growth

Discipleship calls us to engage both heart and mind. As Paul reminds us in Romans, we are to be “transformed by the renewing of our minds” so we may discern God’s will—what is good, acceptable, and perfect. Peter likewise urges us to respond to questions of faith with reasoned, constructive answers. Yet faith is not a puzzle to solve but a mystery to live.
Discipleship is more than study; it is a lifelong journey shaped by worship, strengthened in community, and expressed through love in mission. At St. Andrew, we seek to nurture this journey by providing welcoming spaces and quality educational opportunities for adults of all ages, helping each person grow into the fullness of faith.
Current Offerings
Adult Education is an opportunity to grow deeper in faith, learn more about the Bible and spiritual connections, build community with one another, and learn about the world around us.
Lenten Study: The Space Between
Discovering God in an Either/Or World
Sundays beginning February 22 | 6 pm | Virtual
Tuesdays beginning February 24 | 1 pm | In Person
This Lenten study accompanies the sermon series The Space Between: Discovering God in an Either/Or World and invites participants to explore how faith is formed not in rigid answers, but in the honest tension of real life. Walking with Jesus through the Gospel of Luke, we will encounter moments where easy categories break down—where mercy and justice meet, faith and action intertwine, and strangers become neighbors. Rather than rushing to conclusions, this study encourages us to slow down, listen deeply, and reflect on the "in-between" spaces where transformation quietly takes place. Together, we will resist false choices and discover how God is often most present in ambiguity, complexity, and holy tension.
Each week, participants will receive a study guide that includes a sermon summary and discussion questions to help deepen reflection and conversation. Every gathering will begin with a brief meditative prayer and devotional to center our time together.
This Lent, you are invited into a more spacious faith—one that trusts grace to meet us not at the extremes, but in the space between.
For convenience, the study will be offered twice each week:
Sunday evenings via Zoom at 6 pm beginning February 22
Tuesday afternoons at 1 pm in person beginning February 24
