Education

Youth Catechism
Christ said, "Let the children come to me." With that spirit, Saint Theophan the Recluse maintained that "of all holy works, the education of children is the most holy."

That ethic is our goal at St. Nektarios Greek Orthodox Church. We offer Youth Catechism in our faith each Sunday following communion from May to September. Starting with our three-year-old class, and continuing through high school graduation, all young people are welcomed as we journey together towards spiritual strength.

St. Nektarios features a rotation curriculum that reinforces the important themes of our faith: Lives of the Saints, Major Feast Days, The Divine Liturgy, and The Sacraments. In this manner, children are exposed to each topic several times during their studies, at various levels of maturity, fostering a deeper understanding and knowledge base. We strive to incorporate many community activities that illustrate our living of the Orthodox faith outside the classroom as well.

Our catechetical team is dedicated to the future of our faith: our children.

Adult Education
St. Nektarios features several adult education programs:
- Morning Adult Bible Study—Weekly, September through May
- Evening Theological Discussions—Weekly, September through May
- Speaker Series—Quarterly, guest speakers present subjects of interest to the community
- Conversion sessions, pre-marital sessions, etc., on an as-needed basis
