Formed in Faith
We always seek to grow closer to God through study and prayer. These adult formation groups allow us to gather and grow in faith together as we draw on the rich gifts of scripture, tradition, and reason.
Lectionary Bible Study
Our Lectionary Bible study group meets Wednesday mornings from 10:00 – 11:30. Each week we follow along with the texts from the Revised Common Lectionary. If you are interested in developing a better understanding of our Sunday worship scripture readings in a small group setting, this is the place to be.
Spiritual Companions
The Spiritual Companions meet Thursday evenings s at 6:30 via Zoom. Together we share in fellowship through Contemplative Prayer, book discussions, Lectio Divina and other spiritual practices.
Women's Group
Offering social connections and support through life and family changes. Meeting 2nd Sundays after church at Los Pinos Mexican Restaurant.
Men's Group
Monthly get-together offering fellowship and support for the men of Faith. Meeting 3rd Fridays at 12 Noon at 36 Handles in El Dorado Hills.
Education for Ministry (EfM)
EFM is a four year course discussing the Old Testament, the New Testament, history of Christianity, theological ideas and reflections concerning faith with life experience. Enrollment is for one year at a time. Some students go through all four years in a row, others take some time off between years before returning to their next year of study. Individuals are taught to think critically about their theological views and take leadership in thought, word and deed. Class meets Monday evenings and runs during the school year, August – May. Enrollment opens in late summer for the fall.
Cursillo
Cursillo is a three-day presentation designed to build enthusiasm for and to renew your commitment to your faith. It is especially helpful for those who take an active role somewhere in the life of the congregation. Why? History has shown us that people who attend Cursillo return from the event highly motivated with a strong desire to serve in the parish and share their experience.
Faith Church participates in the Northern California Cursillo, usually held in late spring. Contact us for more information and/or visit the Northern California Episcopal Cursillo website.
