learning is life-long
Neuroscientists have proven that humans are
never too old to learn and to change. Faith in
a creative and compassionate God has long
taught us the same lesson. Life-long learning
in Christian faith and practice is therefore the
heart beat of Church of Our Saviour as we open
our minds to receive God and to be continually
remade in God's hands. We
want you and the
lives around you to be
transformed in Christ's
image because you are
here.
learning takes many forms
Jesus likened intimacy with God to a source of "living water" that never runs dry: help for the journey indeed. Worship can be the first step in this kind of relationship with God.
learning transforms
Our clergy, staff, trained congregational leaders and guest teachers bring dynamic teaching to our classes, forums, small group studies and other formation programs. Discover how our adult classes can add meaning to you and your family's life.
"What churches call adult education is really a rich process of remembering
who, in fact, we are - the beloved sons and daughters of God. By our simple
"yes" to the promptings of the indwelling Holy spirit we enter the faith
journey where our God of infinite compassion and grace refashions us after
the image of Christ."
- Rev. James Clark, former Associate Rector

small group studies
week nights,
September to June
In our ongoing small group studies participants share their lives together
while engaging in spiritual study. Members often forming deep friendships.
Many groups study scripture or read a book of mutual interest: others follow
curriculum created by our staff. Groups are led by a trained facilitator and
are limited in size to foster discussion. Sign-ups are on a "semester" basis;
semesters last from 6-12 weeks. New groups are announced in the Sunday
leaflet.
