Education is Christian Formation

Education at St. Timothy's Episcopal Church and Preschool is called "Christian Formation" because our instruction is oriented toward creating disciples (little and big).  Christian Formation is the lifelong journey of living into the fullness of our God-created selves. At St. Timothy’s we believe that as we deepen our understanding of our faith we are better able to live into our baptismal covenant; that is, to be Christ’s hands and feet in the world.  See Christian Formation Commission.
