CHURCH OF THE HOLY APOSTLES
ADULT MINISTRY
We believe that God desires to enter into a personal relationship with those created in His image.
As a church, God has given us the resources we need to help fan the flame of the relationship between people and Jesus Christ.
For a Christian, this means we are disciples when we follow Jesus Christ. He has a heart for the lost, the last, the least, and the lonely. When we follow Jesus, our hearts begin to change to share the same concern.
The process of growing into this lifestyle is called discipleship. It is simply a matter of being willing to continue following him through worship, prayer, the reading of God’s Word, fellowship, and other spiritual practices.
ADULT FORMATION GROUPS
Our Adult Formation Groups gather on Sunday mornings from 9:15 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. to read God’s Word and explore spiritual practices. Childcare is available for children six weeks old through 5th grade.
Co-Ed Sunday Formation
Our Co-Ed Sunday Formation class explores meaningful topics through the lens of Scripture and the Anglican tradition. We engage themes that shape everyday discipleship, including prayer, vocation, justice, relationships, spiritual practices, and life in community.
Each series invites thoughtful teaching, open discussion, and practical application. The goal is not simply information, but transformation as we learn to follow Jesus more intentionally in every area of life.
The Shape of the Liturgy
The first Christians had no liturgical books, just knowledge of Jewish worship and the Gospel. Today, we are blessed with a masterpiece of English prose and a unifying text of Anglican/Episcopal worship. If you are unfamiliar with liturgical worship, the Prayer Book, or other customs, this series of classes will bless you.
Please contact Steve Hamburg for more information.
Men's Sunday Formation
Our Men’s Sunday Formation class is a space for honest conversation, friendships, and deeper engagement with Scripture. Together, we allow God’s Word to shape our lives as husbands, fathers, friends, and leaders.
The Good Shepherd- A Judean Perspective
We are moving past Sunday School clichés to examine the "Sheep and Shepherd" context through the eyes of the men who lived it. Don't view sheep as "foolish" (a common Western trope). In context, they are trusting and social. If you miss the bond between the animal and the person, the theology feels cold.

DAUGHTERS OF THE KING
Members of The Order of the Daughters of the King® are women and girls between the ages of twenty-one and one hundred and seven who desire a closer walk with the Lord. We are Christian women, both lay and ordained, who are strengthened through the discipline of a Rule of Life and supported through the companionship of our sisters. We are all at different stages of our Christian journey – some have just begun, and some have been on this path for a long time. But no matter where we are on our sacred journeys, our primary goal is the same – to know Jesus Christ and to make Him known to others.
Reaffirming the promises made at Baptism and Confirmation, a Daughter pledges herself to a life-long program of prayer, service, and evangelism. She receives support in this commitment from a worldwide community of like-minded women.
In solidarity with one another, all Daughters everywhere make the same promises upon their admission to The Order:
To obey the two Rules of The Order: the Rule of Prayer and the Rule of Service.
To offer at all times loyal aid to our clergy and parish to spread Christ’s kingdom.
To wear faithfully the cross of The Order.
To work for the purposes of The Order as God may give us the opportunity.
We meet on the third Sunday of the month after the 10:30 a.m. service in Room 102. If you are interested in joining our chapter, please contact the president, Donna Bell.
