Adult Faith Formation

Growing in faith happens best in community. Small groups offer a welcoming space to connect, be encouraged, and deepen your relationship with Jesus Christ. Through prayer, conversation, and shared learning, these groups support one another in living as disciples in everyday life.


Small groups are a proven and meaningful way to build fellowship and strengthen faith within the Church. They help us live out our mission:

To love and serve Christ our King.

Following Christ by taking up our cross as disciples.

Explore Current Opportunities

Christ the King (CTK) is part of a parish cluster sharing ministries, community life, and worship with St. Thomas the Apostle (STA). Both parishes offer a variety of opportunities for adults to continue learning and growing in faith and everyone is welcome to any group they would like to take part.



Inspired by Archbishop Hebda's pastoral letter You Will Be My Witnesses and supported by research on vibrant parish life, small groups are an increasingly important part of our community. Some groups have been meeting for years, while others are newly forming. All share a common purpose: to build community, support one another, and grow in faith together.

“Small groups continue to be an excellent vehicle for the provision of Christ-centered care, with heart speaking to heart.” - Archbishop Hebda, You Will Be My Witnesses
