Exploring Faith
Exploring your faith can begin at any age. We regard faith formation as a life-long endeavor, an often winding journey of discovery and deeper engagement. To foster this journey, we offer a wide range of opportunities for adults, children, and youth.
Take a look at what's happening and explore how it might relate to your journey.
Opportunities for adults
- The Forum, with our Dean, Dr. Jane Shaw, and the clergy of Grace Cathedral, offers a series of stimulating conversations with leading public figures, musicians, theologians, artists and writers. It takes place selected Sunday mornings from 9:30 - 10:30 a.m. in Gresham Hall.
- Basic Christianity - Explore with others the foundations of the Christian faith: the very basics of history, doctrine, scripture, worship, and practice. This core class is offered regularly twice a year and is a great preparation for baptism.
- Anglican Spirit - Deepen your understanding of the ethos, practices, structure, sensibility, and unique voice of Anglicanism and the Episcopal Church. This class is especially helpful for adults preparing for confirmation and reception into the Episcopal Church.
- Serving at the Altar - Join with others to learn what we do in worship and why. These half-day workshops teach the meanings behind what we do together in our worship, train readers and all the ministers who assist at the worship services.

Opportunties for Children and Youth
- Baptism - Baptism is one of the sacraments of the Episcopal Church.
- Sunday School - Grace Cathedral is a house of prayer for all people: young and old. Grace Cathedral honors its community of children and their questions about who we are, why we are here, what freedom is for... and so much more.
- Godly Play - Children are having their own experience of God! Through Godly Play, children learn to use the art of religious language to share and express their experiences of God in Christian community.
- GraceQuest - Honoring the spiritual lives of children is a life-long practice. Middle school students meet on the first, second, fourth, and fifth Sundays of each month to explore their own questions.
- Youth Confirmation - Inspired by Grace Cathedral's mission of transforming the world beginning with ourselves, a youth confirmation class is convened bi-annually, for a nine-month journey of discernment into the ways and teachings of the Episcopal Church.
