Brotherhood of St. Andrew

A ministry for the spread of Christ's kingdom among men and boys in the Episcopal / Anglican communion. We meet in Grace Hall from 7:30 to 9 PM on the second and fourth Mondays of every month.

For any questions or more information,
please contact Patrick Cathcart.

The Epistle of St. James

James writes a short letter about “spiritual maturity” to some believers who are having problems. He explains how the Christian is patient in testing, practices the truth, has power over his tongue, is a peacemaker, and is prayerful in troubles. How curious that he begins his letter with this thought: “Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because…”

Come discover the reason why! We love new faces!

Saturday Morning Men's Bible Study

The Saturday Morning Men's Bible Study
meets in Grace Hall every Saturday, 8:30 a.m. This is a true Bible study and discussion. Each class is a standalone event so there is no long term commitment. Drop-ins are always welcome.

Beginning in mid-August, we will study and discuss Luke’s gospel using N. T. Wright’s guide.

Education for Ministry (EfM)

EFM is an adult, Christian, distance learning education program of the School of Theology of the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee.

This four year program is a dynamic blend of Bible study, church history, theology, worship, prayer and theological reflection. There are openings for four first year students.

Classes will begin Monday, September , at 6:15 p.m. in the Bethany Room. Judi Gullatt will be joining Steve Cunningham as co-mentor for the 2022-2023 year. For more information, please use to link below to contact Steve Cunningham.

Past graduates have found the EfM experience to be a profound learning experience and spiritually transformative. St. David’s has proudly sponsored an EfM class for 35 years.

Common Purpose

With God’s help, Common Purpose works towards building a Beloved Community at St. David’s. Specifically, we commit to seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving our neighbor as ourselves; and to strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being. Through conversation, education, and advocacy, we strive for reconciliation as we live out our baptismal covenant.

Covenant Groups

Covenant Groups are small groups of 5-8 people who meet once-twice a month to foster Spiritual Friendship. Groups meet at a time and place determined by the group. Each meeting has a check-in, study determined by the group, and prayer. Covenant Groups are safe spaces.

In a large church such as St. David’s, small groups are the key to forming close and lasting relationships with other Christians as you grow closer to our Lord. As Jesus said in the book of Matthew, “When two or three are gathered in my Name, there too am I.”
