Adult Education & Formation
Teach them the statutes and instructions and make known to them the way they are to go and the things they are to do. Exodus 18:20
Formation and deepening knowledge of the Christian faith is an essential part of the Anglican ethos. CSS endeavors to provide illuminating, interesting and challenging educational programs for adults as well as children.
