Adult Formation

Adults have a variety of options, from Sunday morning forum gatherings
to small groups, workshops, book studies, and retreats.



Mark your calendars and join All Saints adult formation as we take a journey into the life of Simon Peter, one of Jesus’ most passionate yet imperfect followers. Using Adam Hamilton’s book, Simon Peter: Flawed but Faithful Disciple, as our guide, we’ll explore how Peter’s story mirrors our own—full of missteps, doubts, and struggles, yet ultimately transformed by Christ’s call. This study will encourage us to see how God works through ordinary people, even in their weaknesses, to do extraordinary things. Whether you are new to Bible study or a longtime learner, you’ll find fresh insight, encouragement, and practical faith lessons for daily living. Come discover how Peter’s journey of stumbling, yet staying faithful, can inspire your own walk with Christ. All are welcome! Books will be provided. Contact Diane Warner at if you are interested. This class will be meeting in the Large Conference Room in the basement of the Office Building.

Serving in Worship

Worship requires many hands and hearts and bodies to make
all the pieces come together effortlessly and smoothly, maybe you are called to serve in this way?

  • Usher – assist to prepare the worship space, welcome people into worship, count the number of people present, collect the offering, manage traffic to and from the altar table for communion and generally keep order flowing.
  • Verger – assist the clergy to prepare the worship space and the various individuals who are serving on that Sunday.  Making sure that everyone is present, and if not, substitutes are found to read, serve the chalice.
  • Lectors – read the scripture lessons from the Old and New Testaments and offer the prayers of the people.
  • Chalice Bearers – gather at the altar table for the Eucharistic prayer and serve the chalice to the congregation when we come forward to for communion.
  • Acolytes – keep the lights lit in the worship space, carry torches, the cross, and swing the thurible of incense whenever we have a special day in the church calendar.
  • Altar Guild – prepares the altar and chancel for every worship service so that the leaders and the congregation have everything they need to let worship unfold. They are a ministry that exists in the background, if they are doing their job well, you never even know they were there.

  • Music – In addition to our Adult Sanctuary choir, we also have a hand bell choir known as “All Saints Ringers.” The vocal choirs and handbell choir support our worship and perform at special services and concerts throughout the year. All Saints music also features prominently at Frederick’s annual Candlelight Tour of Historic Houses of Worship. The Adult Choir rehearses during the program year, Thursdays at 7:30PM – 9PM. 

  • Child Care – With God as our center and parents as our partners, our ultimate goal is to come alongside you and begin to plant the seeds of faith in the hearts and minds of our youngest children. Our preschool / nursery are open from 8:30 am to 11:30 am on Sunday mornings.  You may pack a drink and snack (no peanuts, please)
