education ministries

Our weekly Bible Studies, led by Fr. Evan, are an opportunity for closer study, appreciation, and application of Holy Scripture in our lives. Discussions and lessons are interactive and incorporate the patristic tradition of the Church, modern scholarship, and the liturgical/theological teachings and rhythms of the Church. Bible Studies are held most Tuesdays throughout the year at 10:00 am in our Upper Room both in person and streamed via Google Meet.

The St. Ephraim Library supports parishioners on their Christian journey by offering a diverse collection of Orthodox reading and listening materials, with over 1,000 titles available for checkout in book, CD, and DVD formats. The Library is open to visitors every Sunday during Fellowship Hour.

Vacation Church Camp at St. Spyridon is a highly anticipated, week-long day camp that offers children a fun and enriching experience. During this week, kids explore life in the Church through crafts, music, lessons, games, and activities. The Camp is usually held during the month of June.

Youth Enrichment is the Sunday education program at St. Spyridon for children from PreK through 12th grade. This program provides opportunities for children to engage in Worship, Service, Community, and Education, aiming to involve our youth as active and valued members of the community. It takes place on Sundays following the Eucharist, all children are welcome to join.

Engaged and married couples in the parish have the opportunity to participate in a couples ministry called Prepare/Enrich. This involves a personalized assessment and feedback program for couples wishing to enhance their relationship. Skill-building exercises occur over several sessions with a Certified Facilitator.

The purpose of our preschool is to cultivate human-ness in human beings, as persons created in the image and likeness of God. In the Orthodox Christian tradition, this formation is not merely intellectual but deeply spiritual and moral. Education is a sacred task that begins with acknowledgement of the child as a person and leads them to grow into communion with God, others, and the world around them.

Throughout the year, several opportunities occur to grow in your faith and understanding of the Orthodox Church. Fr. Nicholas leads our Orthodoxy 101 & 201 classes and Fr. Evan holds a monthly Q&A session, Orthodoxy Live, LIVE!
