Sunday Adult Formation
Sundays at 10:15 a.m., adults gather at Trinity-by-the-Cove to explore Scripture, theology, and Christian living through clergy-led studies, guest speakers, and seasonal series.
A Year of Learning and Conversation
Adult Formation at Trinity-by-the-Cove offers opportunities to explore Scripture, theology, prayer, culture, and Christian life in a thoughtful and welcoming setting.
This year's series includes clergy-led Bible study, distinguished guest teachers, practical instruction in the Book of Common Prayer, and a lively exploration of faith through music. Whether you are new to these subjects or have studied them for years, you are invited to join the conversation.
The Gospel According to Mark
A clergy-led study
Join your clergy for an eight-week journey through the Gospel according to Mark, likely the earliest account of Jesus' life and ministry.
Together, we will explore Mark's portrait of Jesus, his call to discipleship, the meaning of faith, and the challenge of following Christ in the face of suffering and opposition. Mark's Gospel invites us not only to learn about Jesus, but also to consider what it means to follow him today.
The Great Divorce
with Dr. Terry Lindvall
Join us for a four-part series on C. S. Lewis's The Great Divorce, led by Dr. Terry Lindvall through engaging recorded lectures.
Dr. Lindvall will guide participants through Lewis's imaginative exploration of heaven, hell, freedom, grace, and the choices that shape our eternal destiny. As with last year's popular Narnia series, each session will include time for discussion, questions, and reflection as we consider the book's enduring relevance for Christian life and discipleship.
Islam in the Modern World
with the Rev. Dr. David Marshall
How should Christians understand Islam's place in a pluralistic world, and what challenges and opportunities arise from that relationship?
Joining us live via Zoom from Bern, Switzerland, the Rev. Dr. David Marshall will help participants understand the beliefs, history, and contemporary realities of Islam and its interactions with modern society. Each session will include ample time for questions and discussion.
BCP 101: Praying with the Prayer Book
A clergy-led Lenten study
The Book of Common Prayer is one of the great treasures of the Anglican tradition-and it contains much more than the Daily Office.
Whether you are new to the Prayer Book or have used it for years, this practical and hands-on four-week Lenten study will help you navigate its pages with confidence and discover how it can become a companion for prayer, learning, and Christian living throughout the week.
The Bible and Rock 'n' Roll
with Fr. Steve
Known for weaving music from the 1960s, 70s, and beyond into his sermons, Fr. Steve invites you to discover the surprising connections between Scripture and some of the most memorable songs of the rock era.
Join us in the Waterfront Room during the Adult Formation hour for a fun and thought-provoking four-week series exploring the Bible through the lens of rock 'n' roll. Whether you're a lifelong music fan or simply curious about the intersection of faith and popular culture, you'll come away with fresh insights, lively conversation, and perhaps even a new appreciation for both.
We'd Love to Have You Join Us
Adult Formation is open to all adults, whether you're a lifelong Episcopalian, new to Trinity-by-the-Cove, or simply interested in exploring the Christian faith in a welcoming environment. Come for one series or join us throughout the year-we look forward to learning together.
