Adults are formed as Christian disciples from the time they are baptized. Our formation begins with education, where we learn the rudiments of Christian responsibility, Scripture and our tradition. But we are also formed by our worship, prayer life, fellowship, service to others, and the sharing of our spiritual journey in a community of faith. At St. Timothy’s, adults have a variety of opportunities to learn, explore, reflect and share as they are formed into the Body of Christ.

Context” The class on “The New Testament in Historical Context” will continue through the Spring using the perspective from the letters of Paul in a series of lectures on DVD by Professor Bart Ehrman of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Join the class in Rev. Kathryn’s Office.
“Epiphany of the Church” Throughout history the church has continually changed and grown. Some of these changes have been slow and steady marches to a new way of seeing things, and others have been schismatic shifts that have radically changed the church very quickly. This group will explore some of these changes, and take a look at the current church to see where the growing edges might be. Who knows, we may be on the eve of Reformation, and not yet be aware of it. - Led by Jamie Ellis, Minister of Youth, Children and Families
“Lectionary Study with the

But these themes are woven all throughout many noted novels and short stories, particularly those of our beloved Southern writers. During these classes, a reading will be presented, which will be followed by discussion, inviting those present to share their insights and discoveries. -Facilitated by Carol Corrington, Tony Hullender and Dave Mathewson.
