St. Paul Education and Cross Training
Cross-Training at St. Paul is the premiere training ground in Christian
discipleship. A broad variety of courses are offered, all with the single goal
of training for a life of service under the cross of Jesus Christ.
Paul once told the Christians in Corinth: "Everyone who competes in the
games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last;
but we do it to get a crown that will last forever." (1 Cor. 9:25) He
told his under-study, Timothy, something similar: "Train yourself to be
godly. For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all
things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come." (1
Tim. 4:7-8)
Christians at St. Paul have the opportunity to heed St. Paul's advice every
Sunday morning from 9:20 - 10:10 AM, in between the worship services. Check out
the topics that we currently are offering and make the plunge into a deeper life
with Christ under His cross!
