Bible Study, Sundays at 9:45am: We gather in the left ante-room to study the books of the Bible and to find the message God has for us therein. These discussions tend to lead to other theological points and questions, which enrich our understanding and bring us closer to God. We will take a break in the summer months, but gather again in August.

St. Nicholas Academy: In 2010, we began a weekly Tuesday evening class for adults which we call the St. Nicholas Academy. We began with a course on Biblical Interpretation, and hope to offer more classes to deepen students’ understanding of their faith, their life, and the Bible. These classes run from 6 to 8 weeks at a time, and we encourage participants to commit to a full course. Our plan is to offer a class in January-February during Epiphany, take a break for our Lenten Series, a class in April-May, take a break for the summer, a class in August-September, one in October-November, and an Advent class.
