The mature study of faith is an important part of the Christian life, and at St. Barnabas we seek to explore questions of faith from scriptural, historical, and contemporary perspectives.

Ongoing Programs include:
'Listening for God' Reading Group
Some of the best in contemporary fiction and non-fiction can help us discern God's presence in our daily lives. The group selects books for reading and discussion.
As you juggle busy schedules, please make time for some of these unique Christian Education offerings - they will nourish your soul, strengthen our community, and help make sense of the world we live in.

- Video-Bible Study of "The Acts of the Apostles" Using an instructional video and personal reflection, class members were introduced to certain members of the community that came to be called the church, see them grow in their understanding of what God called them to do, and follow them as they set out to cross the entire world to tell the stories of Jesus and the love of God shared with all people through Jesus Christ.
