Adult Education Classes are held on Sunday mornings in two shifts after the first two services for all interested adults. Topics are planned and coordinated in advance following the church calendar. Subject matter is both practical and spiritual. Walk-ins are more than welcome. Regular “Fellowship Sundays” are held throughout the year. Members are encouraged to sign up to donate snacks. Hot and cold beverages are provided by the Church.

The Sunday School provides a well prepared and Biblically based program for all ages -- toddlers to teens -- each Sunday at 10:00 a.m. In addition to the Sunday program, many special events of a social nature are held yearly. There is also a Vacation Bible School program each summer.

A Mid-Week Bible Study is led by the Rector and held on Thursdays at 11:00 a.m. in the McKinley Center. All are welcome to attend and participate. No weekly commitment is required since the study for each week is from the lectionary for the following Sunday.

Youth Programs

Rite 13 Group: The Journey to Adulthood (J2A) program was introduced in 2002 to aid in the transition from childhood towards an adult faith. The program is for students in Middle School.  It helps students identify their abilities, confirm their relationships, and work with others in Christian fellowship.  It celebrates their individuality and their potential while instructing them in the skills needed to be mature participants in Church and society.   

Senior High Youth Group: For young adults in the community who are in grades 9-12. The group meets on Sunday mornings to discuss current issues, personal issues, and general topics. There is both a social and spiritual component to the group and outside activities are planned according to the interest of the students.

 Spiritual Growth

Cursillo is a movement within the Episcopal Church designed to promote spiritual renewal and train Church leaders to develop discipleship within the church.  Cursillo weekends are held at Bishop Claggett Conference Center, a retreat facility owned by the Diocese of Maryland, in Buckeystown in Frederick County.  Regular gatherings, called Ultreyas, are held all over the diocese.  The Washington County Ultreya is held at Saint John's in Hagerstown and meets on the third Sunday of each month at 7:00 p.m. (no meeting in December). Everyone is invited to attend this meeting whether they have made their Cursillo or not.

Spiritual Direction is offered by a member who holds a degree in Spiritual Direction from Loyola University.  She uses classical Christian tools of journaling, contemplative prayer and meditation, and study of the scriptures.
