    Adult Formation

    At St. John’s, we believe that faith is a lifelong journey of growth, discovery, and transformation.

    Our Adult Formation programs provide opportunities to deepen your faith, explore spiritual practices, and engage in meaningful discussions that connect faith to daily life.

Further Your Faith

Lifelong Christian formation in the Episcopal Church is meant to instill growth in the knowledge, service, and love of God as followers of Christ. That formation is informed by Scripture, Tradition, and Reason.

Adult Bible study, special services, newcomers’ classes, and other formation events occur throughout the year. For more information, visit the parish calendar, or contact St. John's at 765.742.4079.

For more information about the practice of Christian meditation, please watch this short video, which provides a simple description of the history and practice of Christian meditation.
