Christian Nurture programs start with our youngest members as they are introduced to the tenets of our faith in stories they can understand. Children, Youth and Adults may all participate in enhancing their faith development through Christian Education, often referred to as Christian Formation. Whatever the terminology, St. Philip's offers a wide variety of opportunities both increase knowledge and strengthen faith.
