Sunday Morning Learning Opportunities During the School Year

Presbyterians have a long and honored tradition of promoting the education of its members.  Our belief is that an educated disciple is a more effective disciple and witness for Jesus Christ.  Equipping the saints for ministry is a core task of the church, one that we take very seriously at First Presbyterian Church.  Offerings include age-appropriate classes for children as well as offerings for youth and a variety of classes for adults.  Adult classes vary widely in age and focus.  Adult learners are encouraged to visit the classes.  Church membership is not a requirement for participation in Sunday School.  Current offerings of our Education Department are as follows:

Share Sunday School Class
The Share Adult Sunday School Class meets in the parlor at 9:00 a.m. Its members use The Present Word published by the Presbyterian Church USA, a biblically based curriculum that follows the Revised Standard Lectionary.  (The parlor is the room next to Fellowship Hall)

Ladder of Faith Sunday School Class
The Ladder of Faith Adult Sunday School Class meets in the church library.  It is multigenerational, and focuses on contemporary issues of faith through Bible study, discussion and reflection. The class uses “The Wired Word” curriculum and  tend to approach issues of faith and life in fresh new ways.  Visitors are always welcome.  Come to the Church Library on Sunday mornings at 9:00 a.m.  (The Library is the room closest to the coffee pots!)
