PARLOR CLASS - Parlor (Room 102)
This is a discussion class using video series from RightNow Media. The class is currently studying “Love Like That” by Les Parrott. Lisa Cooper and Joanne Glaser lead this class.
DISCOVER FPC - Session Room Main Floor
If you have been worshiping with us regularly or recently joined First Presbyterian Church, this class is for you! Discover FPC offers you the opportunity to learn a little bit about being a Presbyterian and about various ways you might engage your life of faith here in this congregation. This 3-week series of classes is offered periodically throughout the year and is hosted by the church staff. Contact Erin Bowers for more information.
Youth & Children
Jesus tells us to become like a child in order to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Children come to us with a sense of wonder that is a necessary component of faith. It is our job as parents and teachers to nurture that wonder while adding to it an understanding of who God is, and how much God loves them.
As preteens and teens journey toward adulthood, it is our intention to celebrate the young women and men they are becoming, and to help them mature, not only with the knowledge and teachings of the Bible, but to experience God’s love in all they do in a lifelong relationship together with God and each other.
GRADES 9-12
The Senior High Sunday school class is not meeting for the time being. Please join in fellowship and service with one of the other Sunday school classes. You are welcome to join one of the Adult classes in the Chapel or the Parlor.
GRADE 7-8 - CONFIRMATION CLASS Upstairs Rooms 222 and 214
Students attend a year-long class to explore what they personally believe and are introduced to the basic beliefs and organizational structure of the PC(USA). They’re using the brand new PC(USA) curriculum Big God, Big Questions and enlist the support of “covenant partners” - adult members of the congregation, to support them on their journey of faith. There is no upper age requirement to attend this class.
