Fall Inquirers Class
Begins Sunday, September 11, 2022

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.
If you're new to St. Paul's or you're interested in learning more about The Episcopal Church, you're invited to join us and see what you think.
