Coming up next in Adult Formation
Adult Formation is what we call our learning opportunities here in the church.
We believe that we don’t just study the faith, but we are shaped by what we learn into the form of Christ.
We’ve got some great things in store for the fall semester of Adult Formation this year, including classes with guest teachers, an adult confirmation and newcomers class, a women’s retreat, and more!
You’ll find the FULL schedule (can you believe it!) here, on the calendar, and on the St. Martin’s app. Read descriptions of all our offerings below and mark your calendars!

Women’s Retreat at Camp Gravatt

Camp Gravatt
Aiken, SC
This year we are pleased to offer a women's retreat at Camp Gravatt - a chance for women to gather for spiritual reflection, community, and natural beauty. You will leave with your faith deepened, and new friends. Nestled in the serene South Carolina countryside, Camp Gravatt provides a peaceful setting for rest and rejuvinating our souls. The retreat will include prayer together (including Christian yoga!), soul time, downtime, good food, campfires, and excellent company. Registration will be available soon.
The retreat will begin Friday evening and will end Sunday morning with a Eucharist together in the chapel.
