Lifelong Christian Formation
St. David’s Christian Formation opportunities range from weekly classes on Sunday morning and throughout the week to bible studies for adults, as well as a complete Sunday curriculum for ages Pre-K to High School.
Outreach
St. David’s gives over 1/3 of its total operating budget to both local and international outreach programs to help share the love of Christ with those who are in need. You can volunteer to work in The Gift Shop & Art Gallery, choose to feed the hungry at a local food pantry, or help sort and bring donations to one of our many outreach partners.
Worship
Serving the Lord can be as simple as coming to church to serving during worship as part of the lay assistants, altar guild, or Eucharistic Ministers.
Pastoral Care
If you have the caring touch, if you are interested in reaching out to care for those who need support and guidance, we offer opportunities to become a Stephen Minister, help the bereaved or visit the sick.
Fellowship
Additionally, St. David’s has many Fellowship groups and special events where you can meet new friends. We look forward to seeing you at a future event!
