All Saints provides a variety of alternatives for Christian education for adults, as described below. If you have questions or need more information about the adult education programs, please contact Mark Brinkmann†.
On Sundays other than special feast days during the fall, winter and spring of the year, there is an adult education program between morning services, from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. For current detail, consult Upcoming Events/Parish Happenings for information.
The Wednesday program is offered monthly except during the summer. The program begins at 6;00 p.m. with a family style meal. Following the meal, the program is approximately one hour, beginning at 6:45 p.m. For current detail, consult Upcoming Events/Parish Happenings for information.
A Small Group is a gathering of about 10 people who agree to share part of their faith journey together. They meet regularly for study, sharing, fellowship, and prayer. The members of each small group decide for themselves the topic, the format, and when, where, and how often to meet. These groups may meet any day of the week, any time of the day, at the church or in someone’s home. There might be a single leader, or the group may decide to share or rotate the leadership. For current detail, consult Upcoming Events/Parish Happenings for information.
Consult Upcoming Events/Events for possible schedule changes.

Education for Ministry, or EFM, is a theological distance learning program for the laity of the church, developed by the School of Theology of the University of the South. It is a four-year study program, but those four years need not be contiguous.
EFM groups usually contain six to ten members, plus one or two mentors. They meet weekly for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Currently there are two EFM groups meeting, one at Okatie and the other at All Saints Church.
If you are interested in participating in the EFM program, please contact Dave or Loni Saunders via e-mail or phone, at 686-3990, or Kerry Grant via e-mail or phone, at 715-0202.
The Act of Confirmation is one of the single most important decisions in Christian life. The philosophy at All Saints Church is that the decision of when to be confirmed belongs to the individual. Our clergy, youth ministers and Christian Education instructors offer children and adults support and the opportunity to learn about and build faith until they are ready to be confirmed. Please contact us for more information.
