Inquirers Class
What’s Inquirers Class?
The Inquirers Class, offered twice-yearly, is a basic introduction to the Episcopal Church and St. Paul’s Church here in Fayetteville. It is also a way to prepare for Confirmation, Reception into the Episcopal Church, or Reaffirmation of your baptismal vows during the Bishop’s visitation in May.
Our textbook is Your Faith, Your Life: An Invitation to the Episcopal Church by Jenifer Gamber.
Please have this book with you in class, as the leader may want to refer to it within the discussion.
Books are available through St. Paul’s bookstore for $25. Checks can be mailed to St. Paul’s with Inquirers in the memo line. To pay online, be sure to select “Bookstore” from the dropdown menu.
