young adult bible study
Young adult bible study is a form of faith-based education and community engagement designed for individuals in their late teens, twenties, and thirties. Bible study provides a structured way for young adults to deepen their understanding of God's Word and strengthen their faith. These studies often occur in small groups, fostering a sense of belonging and allowing young adults to connect with others who share their faith journey. The goal is not just to learn about the Bible but to apply its principles to real-life situations and to impact the world positively. Young adult Bible studies can help young adults become more actively involved in their church community through volunteering, serving, or participating in other ministries.

Order Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA)OCIA is a process (often called a “journey of faith”) aimed at welcoming others into our Catholic family through reflection on the experiences of their lives, the messages of Sacred Scripture, and the teachings and doctrines of the Catholic Church. OCIA is a program of the Catholic Church oriented towards those who are searching and inquiring about the Catholic way of life. It is also a process structured around movements of inquiry, sessions, discernment, prayer commitment and finally the Celebration of the Sacraments of Initiation, Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist.St. Gregory’s Adult Faith Formation process offers a comprehensive and systematic presentation and exploration of the Catholic faith and practice—a complete initiation into a Catholic way of life, helping to form a Christian conscience and to live as faithful disciples of Jesus.WHO IS OCIA FOR?
• Adults never baptized who desire to join the Catholic Church.
• Adults baptized in another Christian church who desire to join in membership in the Catholic Church.
• Adults baptized in the Catholic Church who have not completed their full initiation into the church through the Sacraments of Eucharist and Confirmation.
Catholicism is a way of life and becoming Catholic is a journey in faith. OCIA is a process, rooted in Church history designed to educate in the Catholic faith and prepare adults to receive the sacraments of the Church. Becoming Catholic involves entering into a relationship with Jesus Christ. Your OCIA journey will be a unique time for you. You will no doubt notice how your own life experiences and beliefs have brought you to this point as you listen to God’s invitation to explore the Catholic faith.
The office of Adult Formation’s mission is aimed at helping adults to grow in Christian maturity and inspiring their lives with living the Gospel. Therefore, the goal is to embrace faith dimensions of life—like, understanding and communicating the faith, personal growth, family life, relationships, and concern for social welfare.Adult Faith Formation Office (OCIA)-210-342-5271
