“Faith formation seeks to help people:

—Live as disciples of Jesus at home, at work, in the community, and in the world
—Develop an understanding of the Bible and their faith tradition
—Deepen their spiritual life and practices
—Engage in service and mission to the world
—Participate in the life and ministries of their faith community”
Faith formation, or the forming of people as disciples of Jesus Christ, is a lifelong journey. God’s invitation to us is to enter a life of prayer, worship, and growth in faith. Our ministry is to engage, empower, equip, and encourage each other in this ongoing relationship with Jesus Christ. In doing this, God transforms us into a loving community who witnesses to the love of God as we strive to do the work Jesus calls us to do. Join us as we live out our baptismal vows as a community of faith!
Disciples of All Ages
Faith formation is a lifelong journey for each Christian. Opportunities for building our faith and becoming more intentional disciples of Jesus Christ arise at many different points along our journey, some shared, and some on our own. At St. Peter's, we offer opportunities for faith formation throughout the year, for all ages.
Faith at Home and Faith at Church
Faith is a thread that runs through the fabric of our full lives. While we gather at church to learn and praise God, our live as Christians are largely formed outside of Sunday mornings—at home, at school, at work, and all around! We offer resources to support your faith journey wherever you are in this season.
Small Groups
We offer two small groups for adult formation, with additional opportunities for Bible study throughout the year.
Faith Practices
Faith practices are specific and deliberate actions we take in our journeys as disciples of Jesus Christ. Everyone needs practice, and we are all far from perfect. Small actions, repeated with intention, help us take steps forward in our faith. They don't have to be complicated or formal! As we intentionally practice these habits, we grow closer to God.
Celebrating Sacraments
Faith events like baptisms and confirmation are causes for special celebration at St. Peter's! These sacraments are a rich part of our common life as Christians, and important milestones in our faith journeys.
“Write these commandments that I’ve given you today on your hearts. Get them inside of you and then get them inside your children. Talk about them wherever you are, sitting at home or walking in the street; talk about them from the time you get up in the morning to when you fall into bed at night. Tie them on your hands and foreheads as a reminder; inscribe them on the doorposts of your homes and on your city gates.”
