Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (Preschool- 4th grade)- Our Sunday school program provides a nurturing and loving environment for our children to experience and be engaged while developing a personal relationship with Jesus, The Good Shepherd. The Level 1 Atrium is for Preschool and Kindergarten and Level 2 Atrium is for those in grades 1 to 4.
Journey to Adulthood - This program develops the spiritual journeys of our middle school and high school students and is divided into 4 age specific groups:
Young Episcopalians in Service (YES) - YES is a mentor-based program that helps older teens, grades 11 and 12, discern and carry out a ministry within their church or in the larger community. Vocation and development of a personal credo are also emphasized. They become ambassadors of Christ.
Adult Education - Adult Christian Education immediately follows the 9:30 Sunday service and is clergy organized and both clergy and lay-led. The education committee oversees all Christian education activities, responds to varying needs and explores new possibilities so that fulfilling, educational opportunities are available for all ages.
Old St. Anne's Church was built in 1768 on the site of an earlier wooden church built about 1705. Queen Anne presented the church with a "covering for the communion table." The old church is currently used as a chapel for weddings, funerals, and occasional services.
