ADULT MINISTRIES
YOUNG FAMILIES GROUP
Our Young Families Group is a place for families with young children to grow in faith and community together. Throughout the year, we gather for Bible/book studies, fellowship, and time to connect with others in a similar season of life. Some events are designed for the whole family, while others offer adults a chance to recharge and build deeper relationships. It’s a welcoming, supportive space to share life, encourage one another, and walk together in faith.
FELLOWSHIP GROUPS
This fall, St. David's is launching fellowship groups — a chance to build
connection, grow in faith, and deepen our life together. Groups will kick off on Rally Day, August 23, and we want you to be part of it! CLICK HERE to fill out our interest form to help us match you with a group that's a great fit.

MEN'S BIBLE STUDY
Open to men of all ages, our Men’s Bible Study is a seasonal gathering focused on growing in faith and community. Each series centers on a specific theme and is typically led by a guest teacher who brings fresh insight and perspective. Evenings usually include dinner, meaningful conversation, and time to connect with one another. It’s a relaxed and welcoming space to build friendships and dive deeper into Scripture together.
WOMEN'S BIBLE STUDY
Open to women of all ages, our Women’s Bible Study is a seasonal opportunity to pause, reflect, and be renewed in God’s Word. Each series is thoughtfully centered on a theme with time set aside for food and fellowship, connection and conversation. Whether you’re new or returning, it’s a meaningful way to be encouraged and grow in faith alongside other women.
IN-BETWEENERS
Somewhere between “young adults” and “young at heart,” you’ll find our In-Betweeners - a group for those in that sweet middle season of life. Whether you’re balancing family, career, or just figuring out what’s next, this group offers a chance to connect, laugh, and build community with others in a similar stage. Throughout the year, the In-Betweeners gather for special fellowship events - casual, meaningful opportunities to step away from the busyness of life and simply enjoy time together.
YOUNG @ HEART
In September 2018, James Willcox and Donald Sebesta, came together with our rector to establish a St. David's seniors ministry called Young@Heart. The purpose of the group is to provide a forum for seniors to come together for Christian fellowship, spiritual enrichment, entertainment, and learning.
The group meets monthly on the first Thursday of each month (subject to change due to holidays or space conflicts) in McAllister Hall between 11:30 a.m. and 1:15 p.m. for lunch and a program, and all members and friends of the parish, age 60 and better, are invited to join us! For more information, please contact Donald Sebesta at DMSEBESTA@aol.com or 210-826-7614.
