St. Philip the Deacon is committed to supporting you in your on-going growth in discipleship. We regularly offer a range of learning opportunities designed to meet the varied needs, interests and learning styles of adults.
New for 2009-2010 are three initiatives -- Great Dates, Holy Ground and Worship in the World. Learn more about these by clicking on the links to the right.
A complete calendar of individual classes and schedules can be found here under our Calendar section. The calendar lists the leader for each class and you are welcome to contact the leader for more information.
In selecting a class, look for topics that address questions you have been asking. Look for the structure that best suits you: some classes take shape around discussion; others around lecture; others blend the two. And, look for the time commitment that best fits your schedule.
You are encouraged to participate in at least one class or series each year. Before attending a class for the first time, contact the leader to confirm meeting date, time, and place.
Recommended Study Bible
If you are in the market for a new Bible, let us recommend the Concordia Self Study Bible in the New International Version. The Concordia Self Study Bible is filled with extensive notes by respected scholars and theologians helpful to both the beginner and the advanced student of the Word. The New International Version is a reader friendly translation that lends itself particularly well to reading alone or out loud for group study.
