This ministry was established in 2013 with the understanding that faith formation does not stop at Confirmation nor in early adulthood, but instead is a worthy lifelong journey.

With that in mind we bring to the community many activities to help each of us expand our relationship with God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.

The Little Rock Scripture Study has been a part of the St. Joseph’s Adult Enrichment program for several years.  The selected study for this Fall covers four New Testament letters traditionally known as the Catholic Letters because each is written to strengthen Christian communities scattered across a wide region of the Roman Empire rather than a specific Christian community. Participants will discover that they contain profound differences as well as intriguing similarities.

James is a work of wisdom literature, expounding on the themes of faith and good works, true wisdom, and the need for the rich to care for the poor.

First Peter resembles a sermon on baptism. It is filled with moral exhortations about living out one's baptismal promises in a properly upright, faith-filled manner, especially in the face of suffering and persecution.

Second Peter contains strong warnings and exhortations to avoid false teachings to maintain proper ethical conduct while awaiting the second coming of Jesus Christ. It shares much of its content with Jude, because of which, Jude is studied in conjunction with Second Peter.
