Welcome to St. Raphael’s Scripture Study!

Catholics Reflecting Experiencing Evangelizing Declaring Scripture

Creeds began in 2001. We are a parish-wide program designed to meet the spiritual hunger of the beginners to veterans in biblical studies. Our participants in 2007-2008 ranged in age from one week to 86 years!

We are co-ed, and our morning session offers a lectionary-based children’s program, which serves children, ages birth to kindergarten, of parents enrolled in CREEDS.

We challenge participants to dig into scripture with weekly homework assignments, small group discussion, reflection and prayer followed by a large group lecture presentation.

Our scripture scholar and teacher, Carol Kloss, is a graduate of both the Denver Catholic Biblical School Program and the Catholic Theological Union. Carol informs, enlightens and translates scripture into understandable terms which are relevant to our lives now. Click here to read an interview with Carol Kloss. 

CREEDS has run a steady enrollment of 200 men, women and children since its inception. However, each year the people we serve are ever-changing. While most students are St. Raphael parishioners, fourteen area churches are represented among CREEDS participants. We welcome anyone interested in reflecting on God’s Word in a deep, systematic, committed way to join us!  At CREEDS all are truly welcome to come and to learn to walk more closely as Jesus’ disciples.
