Forming Christians is in reality the focus of all we do at St. Anne's. Through worship, outreach in the community, and caring for one another we seek to increase our faith, to grow in God's grace, and to build up a community that serves God and the world that God loves so much.
Adults meet regularly for group bible study, and our Women's Group meets monthly for Bible study, prayer and fellowship.
The St. Anne's Prayer Chain shares prayer requests by e-mail with those who wish to be included.
Our Youth Group (grade 6-12) meets at least once each month for fellowship and service. Recent activities have included a Christmas party (with games, food, and a special showing of "It's a Wonderful Life") and dinner at the Rector's home followed by a lively session of "Stump the Rector." Youth Group members are dedicated volunteers at St. Michael's Necessity Pantry, too. Our young people also participate in diocesan youth activities, like the Bishop's Ball, Happening, and Missionpalooza.

Children have a special place at St. Anne's Church. Children's Sunday School meets during the school year (September through May), with Bible stories, crafts, activities, and music. Following their Sunday School time, children join the rest of the congregation for communion
In the summer months (June through August), children participate in the entire worship service with their families. On the second Sunday of each month, a Children's Sermon is a part of the service. During these months, nursery care for infants and toddlers and care for pre-schoolers remains in place for those who choose not to have their children in the worship service. "Activity bags" are available for children to take into the worship service with them.
