Ministries
Adult
Following Jesus is a lifelong commitment and journey for every disciple and requires a basic set of knowledge and skills. At Good Shepherd, we recognize that Christians are not magically imparted this knowledge, but instead are formed by Bible study, prayer, worship, experience and intentional learning.
We offer these opportunities for adults to strengthen their life in Christ individually, as families, and as a community striving to be a place of purpose sharing God’s liberating and life-giving love.

Bible Study led by Bunny Williams and Lynn Prather. For more information you may contact Bunny at bunny@goodshepherd-augusta.org
Education for Ministry (EfM)
An in-depth, formal study of theology and scripture developed by the School of Theology at the University of the South. The serious study of Scripture, Theology and Church History, for people interested in knowing more about Christian faith, strengthens lay people for fuller service in God’s kingdom.
Tuesday Bible Study
Read, mark, learn and inwardly digest the Scripture lessons appointed for Sunday worship. Good company and lively conversation make this study an enjoyable time.
B2B Study Groups
As in Back to the Bible. Small groups meet regularly to study and grow in their understanding of scripture and theology. Engaging conversation and friendly fellowship lighten the load for busy people.
Sunday Morning Formation
Life in Christ, Practicing Christian Spirituality, Room 208
This class is based on the book of the same name by the Rev. Julia Gatta. This class is led by Ted Clarkson. This class will explore how “the communal, sacramental life of the church grounds our life in Christ,” and from which spring “pray and meditation, witness and service.”
The Sunday Gospel Conference Room
On Sunday mornings, Father Andy will lead an adult class in the Conference Room and dissect the Gospel reading for the day.
Young Adults, Room 302
Join this wonderful and down to earth offering for young Christian families trying to teach their children what it means to live the Christian life. The class is also about parents who are trying to distinguish as best they can, what a Christian family looks like. This class offers close fellowship for young families here at COGS. Coffee will be available upstairs along with some light refreshments.
