Take a Class with Me

This year I started teaching classes for adults out of my living room. You can jump below to learn more about why, and why I charge a nominal fee for these courses. Or you can read more information below and register today!

Are you interested in the Book of Common Prayer, Here there Be Dragons, or History of Christian Traditions classes, but the days and times listed on my Class Page don’t work for you?

If you take on the scheduling work, I would love to make something happen!

Gather four or more people who are interested in one of these classes, either in-person or virtually, and send me some meeting options that work for all of you. All classes can be adapted, as needed, based on schedules. Dragons could be condensed or spread out over the semester. History of Christian Traditions can be made into one long class or two or three shorter classes. In the words of a dear friend of mine: Freedom is open.

Talk to your friends, and then shoot me an email with a proposed schedule. Chances are we can make something happen!

Spring 2026 Classes

Here There Be Dragons (In-person and Virtual)

In-person Dates: The first Mondays of February, March, and April (February 2, March 2, and April 6) 8pm-9:30pm

Virtual Dates: The third Mondays of February, March, and April (February 16, March 16, and April 20) 8pm-9pm

Here there be Dragons is three-part introduction to classical moral theology cleverly disguised as a reading course about dragons. This is an accelerated version of a course I am teaching Logic School students on Fridays this year. Light outside reading required between sessions, mostly comprised of selections from C.S. Lewis and Friends.

Please select In-person or Virtual when you register so that I know who to expect where. All in-person students will also have access to the Virtual classes - a great way to make up a missed class!

Three discussion classes spread out over the semester, with time to complete assigned reading in between.

History of Christian Traditions (In-person) In-person Dates: Sunday, January 25 and Sunday, February 8. 8pm-9:30pm

An Anglican, a Presbyterian, and a Baptist walk into a bar. But where did they all come from?

Join us for a two-part overview of the history of Christian traditions and denominations. You will leave with a renewed appreciation for the church throughout the ages, and a richer understanding of the history and strengths of your own Christian tradition.

Why am I teaching these classes now?

In the past fifteen years at my school, my appreciation for administrative and leadership work has grown. My enjoyment of these things has not always grown at the same pace as my appreciation … but that might just come with the territory?

As I have had less time in the classroom over those fifteen years—down to just a couple of hours each week at this point—my love for and enjoyment of teaching has only grown.

So, here I find myself: continuing down an administrative and leadership path I am called to be on at this point in my life, while deeply missing opportunities to learn and teach more.

I have tried to correct this in previous years by ramping up my regular classroom or church teaching commitments, but those efforts often came at the expense of my family, sanity, health, and care for those I am called to lead.

I have a suspicion that there are others like me who would like to spend time learning together in a context where there is some level of commitment to the learning community, but at a pace and frequency that avoids the need to neglect real responsibilities while doing so.

Fall 2025 Class

An introduction to the Book of Common Prayer’s history and purpose, and an overview of how to navigate this rich resource.

Why do I charge for these classes?

Each course comes with a level of commitment expressed by a nominal fee, which helps our family keep the lights on and explore the world. If you have a strong desire to learn but are not in a season of life in which you can pay, please do reach out.
