The Adult Study Fellowship is a monthly Christian book club led by Father Steve that provides an opportunity for fellowship and ecumenical dialogue between the Roman Catholic and Orthodox Churches. Sponsored jointly by St. Paul’s and St. John Neumann, the ASF is a structured attempt to explore a common path for Roman Catholic and Orthodox Christians in living a Spirit-filled, Christ-centered life. 

This is an excellent format for those who cannot make a weekly time commitment to Bible Study, Orthodox Christianity 101 or Orthodox Koinonia! 

We meet on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 7PM, beginning with a prayer service in the Church. All of the books are available from Joanne Lorton in our parish bookstore. Plan to join us!

Orthodox Christianity 101

Orthodox Christianity 101  is a 24 week long course in Orthodoxy intended to provide a broad overview of the content, history and practice of our faith. What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus Christ in the 21st century? We will explore the Bible and look very specifically at the New Testament. We will look at the Liturgy and the sacramental life of the Church. Why do we worship the way we do? What does it all mean? We will look at Christian history through the centuries. Where did all of these different Christian denominations come from and how do we, as Orthodox Christians, relate to them? Who are we, anyway? In addition, we will discuss personal spiritual disciplines, stewardship, Christian moral values, the development of the virtues and faithful living. No question is off limits.

St. Paul’s is a good place to explore what it means to be a believer, committed to Christ and living a Spirit filled life in the context of His community, the Church. This class is intended for those who wish only to explore Orthodoxy, for those who wish to become members of the Church and for those members of our parish family already Orthodox but interested in broadening and deepening their faith.

Childcare will be available!
