Searching for God in all the Right Places

We all yearn to have a closer relationship with our Creator, and each of us is on our own spiritual journey to go deeper with God. Sometimes life gets in the way of this process, or we simply feel ready to take the next step to grow in our faith. And that's where Good Shepherd's Adult Education Program comes in. We offer a variety of programs designed to help you re-connect to God, learn more about the Bible, the Christian faith, and to explore how faith can help you understand world events and navigate all the complexities of life. You'll build community and grow intellectually as well as emotionally and spiritually. Here is a sampling of some of the classes we offer throughout the year.

Adult faith forum

On Sunday mornings we offer a 50-minute program of adult education titled Adult "Faith Forum." The Faith Forum meets at 9:15 am in the chapel/conference room or on Zoom. Explore topics relating to the Bible, current moral or ethical issues, church history, or the Church's response to current social issues. Click here to see what we have been discussing.

Catechesis

Catechesis is our 14-week, adult and youth confirmation preparation program for anyone who seeks to be confirmed, received into the Episcopal Church, or to re-affirm their baptismal vows. In-depth classes are held in the first quarter of every year and culminate with a Confirmation service which is held in early May at the Cathedral of St. John in downtown Denver.  If you are interested in becoming a candidate for confirmation, reception or the reaffirmation of baptismal vows, please contact our Parish Administrator, Kathy Hunter.

episcopal 101

Episcopal 101 is a five or six-week program for anyone new to the Episcopal Church, or anyone who wants to learn more about the Episcopal Church and its practices. Usually offered in November and early December.
