St. John’s annual Growing in Grace series allows all seekers of the faith to come together and learn more about Christianity, the Episcopal Church, and how we are to live and grow in our faith.
Growing in Grace is a spiritual renewal course for adults seeking to become part of the Episcopal Church through confirmation or reception, or for those who simply want to publicly reaffirm their faith. This year, Fr. Lonnie and Mtr. Leslie will lead us through “Episcopal 101” over six weeks.
We will begin with our Growing in Grace Retreat on March 8 (9 AM-2 PM at St. John’s). We’re excited to announce that this year’s New Members’ Retreat will be combined with our Growing in Grace Retreat on Saturday, March 8. This retreat is for anyone new to St. John’s, curious about the Episcopal Church, or seeking to deepen their faith. You’ll learn about the history of St. John’s, our core beliefs, and what it means to be part of our church family.
This retreat also kicks off Growing in Grace, a course designed to help adults renew their faith, learn more about the Episcopal Church, and prepare for confirmation, reception, or reaffirmation of faith. At the retreat, we will go over the basics of what the course will look like, as well as touch upon St. John’s history and what it means to be a member of St. John’s. For those looking to join St. John’s, this retreat is perfect. At the end of the day, seekers may choose to continue on with Growing in Grace classes with the intent of Confirmation or Reception at the end. We’d love to have you join us!
This course will mean something different to each individual. Even if you’ve taken Growing in Grace before, consider joining us again, as this edition will be a unique experience (see schedule below).
Growing in Grace classes take place on Sunday afternoons from 2:30-4 PM in Killeen Hall. Classes are clergy and lay leader led with small group discussion. We will meet on the following Sundays:
March 16
March 23
March 30
April 6

If you have questions about the confirmation process or would like to join this year’s class, contact Claire Dodd, Director of Communications & Membership.
