Sunday formation meets at 10:15 a.m., between the 9:00 and 11:15 a.m. services on Sundays. In addition to our year-long catechumenate program (Faith-Seeking Journey), we offer a diverse array of classes as we seek to grow in love of God and neighbor.
Faith-Seeking Journey
September to May
This year-long program led by Fr. Steve is addressed to the desire people have to discover God. It is an attempt to provide them with the habits and resources that will enable them to seek him within the branch of the family of God known as the Episcopal Church, and it will initiate them into the mystery of Christian experience through the sacraments, within the course of the liturgical year. It aims to transform lives, by providing participants with the resources to live the Christian life in today's world. If you are new to Trinity, the Episcopal Church, or want to grow in your faith and get more involved at Trinity, this is the journey for you!

Narnia for Grown-Ups
September 21-November 2, 2025
C. S. Lewis’ fantasy children series, The Chronicles of Narnia, sparked a cottage industry with their global popularity. “Narnia for Grownups” will be a light-hearted seven-week course exploring and playing with theological themes and subtle insights throughout C. S. Lewis classic stories. We will hop and amble through each of the seven books, beginning with The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and ending with the Apocalyptic The Last Battle. Grown-up "students" are encouraged to read each book the week before, but may still attend class if they haven't, but may still be teased by Professor Terry Lindvall. Be a kid again, even if it is just to play hooky.
Nicaea at 1700: Exploring the Nicene Creed
November 9-December 21, 2025
This year marks the 1700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea (AD 325), which gave us among other things the Nicene Creed which we profess every Sunday. After briefly exploring the historical importance of the Creed and Council, we will examine its continued relevance through a discussion of what it all means! You may even find, after we’re through, that you are reciting the Creed on Sunday mornings with a deeper appreciation and understanding of the faith we confess.
Heaven: The Heart’s Deepest Longing
January 11-February 8, 2026
What do you want? Really want? Using the human heart as our guide and Peter Kreeft’s book of Heaven as our map, we will examine the psychological, philosophical, and theological dimensions of this search for total joy and for the ultimate reality that grounds it. Along the way we’ll explore the heart’s restlessness, why heaven is not boring (!), the nature of our ultimate hope, and what difference heaven makes to Monday morning.
Lenten Meditations on Scripture through Art
March 1-22, 2026
Join art historian and fellow parishioner Jim Pagliaro along with Fr. Nicholas as we explore some artistic depictions of the passion and death of Jesus Christ during the season of Lent. We will lead meditations on Scriptural passages through visual renditions by some of Europe’s greatest artists, including Giotto, Hans Holbein the Elder, Tintoretto, Titian, Cimabue, and more.
We offer many opportunities for spiritual growth and formation throughout the week. In addition to our regular weekly offerings below, clergy are always available to speak to you about how you can apply the Bible to your daily life.

Filled with discussion and guidance, this class rotates through different books of the Bible and is facilitated by Fr. Steve Zimmerman. All are welcome!

Pray. Eat. Grow. Study
Thursdays at 6:45 p.m.
After choral evensong and dinner, we have an opportunity to grow in faith through a rotating series of classes. This year our studies include the Figures in Anglican spirituality, Christmas in Scripture and Tradition, and much more. In addition, throughout the year, we invite speakers to come talk to us on timely issues of faith and Christian living, and this takes the place of our regular formation time on Thursday Nights.
