Adult Ministry
Growing, Learning & Serving Together
At St. Philip, every adult has a valued place in the life of our church. We believe God has gifted each of us uniquely, and those gifts are meant to be shared—for building up community, deepening faith, and serving the world. Adult ministry at St. Philip offers a variety of opportunities to learn, grow, and connect with others on the journey. This section highlights some of the ways you can get involved.
Sunday School
Learning is a lifelong process, and we encourage all adults to engage in learning and faith talk. St. Philip offers adult Sunday school classes for that very purpose! See our calendar on the news page for upcoming classes.
Bible Studies
St. Philip offers daytime and evening Bible study classes. See our calendar on the news page for details.
