Adult Fellowship & Learning

Spiritual Growth & Study

On Sunday mornings, there are multiple opportunities for adults to gather for fellowship and study. The following opportunities take place each Sunday from 10:00 - 10:45 in between the two worship services. Our adult Sunday School classes take a summer break during July & August.

  • The Koinonia Class is a gathering for adults of all ages and backgrounds, that discusses current events in light of Scripture using “The Wired Word” curriculum. Each week a news story and a corresponding Scripture passage is emailed out to participants for individual reflection in anticipation of group discussion. This class meets in the Koinonia Room.

  • The Crossroads Class is a gathering of ESL adults and Native English speakers, who read and discuss the Scripture passage that is being discussed in that Sunday’s sermon. The class uses Accessible English Bible and values a “slow-reading” of Scripture to learn alongside people of different backgrounds and undercover new insights and questions along the way. This class meets in the Law Building (Office) Library.

  • “After 9:02” is a new in-formal gathering for adults interested in conversation and relationship-building over a warm cup of coffee or tea in the Fellowship Hall. While many of our 9:02 worshippers attend this gathering, it is also open to folks who worship at 11:00am.

St. Paul’s Prayer Group gathers on Thursday from 9:30 - 10:00am to pray for the needs of the church, community and world. We meet in-person in the Law Building (Office) Library and on Zoom.

St. Paul’s ESL Class meets on Sundays from 12:30 - 2:00pm in the Koinonia classroom. This is a free class open to ESL adults of all ages, stages and backgrounds. St. Paul’s volunteers also offer support for individuals navigating the citizenship process.

Fellowship & Fun

A variety of small groups help St. Paul’s members and friends connect with one another and form deeper relationships of support and encouragement.

Lunch Bunch: Join us the first Tuesday of the month at 12pm for St. Paul’s Lunch Bunch. Bring your lunch and join us for a time of fellowship. There is no program; this is just a chance to connect and spend time with others. Drinks are provided. Join us!

Young Adult Trivia Nights: All college grads and young adults are invited to Trivia Night the first Monday of the month at Fortnight Brewery in Cary (1006 SW Maynard Rd)!

St. Paul’s Book Club meets the third Tuesday of each month at 6:30pm in St. Paul’s Library and on Zoom. Click here to view the current reading list!

JOY (Just Older than Young Adults) hosts events in one another’s homes, including cookouts, game nights, and outdoor movie nights. While there is no age limit, most group members are in their mid-20’s to mid-50’s.

Christian Men’s Fellowship meets every other month for a time of fellowship over a shared meal. They often gather every other first Wednesday of the month at Rudino’s Sports Bar for food, fellowship and trivia!

Disciples Women’s Ministries includes four different “circles” of women which meet monthly:

  • Esther Circle meets the second Thursday evening of the month in member’s homes or restaurants, or embarks on local adventures like attending a NC Courage Soccer Game.

  • Mary Circle meets the first Tuesday evening of the month for appetizers and to share the ups and downs of life. The group rotates between meeting at St. Paul’s and member’s homes.

  • Priscilla Circle meets the first Tuesday of the month at 1pm, at St. Paul’s or in member’s homes, to do service projects such as assembling hygiene kits for farmworkers, and to learn about issues important to the group.

  • Ruth Circle meets the second Thursday of the month at 10am at St. Paul’s to engage in meaningful study and discussion, or to complete service projects such as making Linus blankets.
