Led by Wayne Patton.
Meets in the back of the Sanctuary.

The newest offering at FPC, Spiritual Gifts is a discussion-based class which examines what its name describes–our spiritual gifts–and talks about what gifts God has given each of us and how we might use those gifts in our daily lives.

Meets in the Nursery (the only space available).

This discussion-based class is enjoying a curriculum titled: Go Tell It On the Mountain: Stories of Early American Hymns. Come learn about the classic hymns of your childhood.

Children

Our early elementary class meets upstairs in the education wing and is led by Barbara Howell and uses the Growing in Grace & Gratitude curriculum. This class allows children to explore the Bible through hands-on activities and active participation in worship.

Our middle elementary class meets upstairs in the education building and is led by Marty Bone. They use the Growing in Grace & Gratitude curriculum. Through sharing Biblical stories in a variety of ways, children learn in a setting that stimulates their imagination and encourages class participation.

Our Middle School and High School Youth meet in the youth room. They use the Echo the Story curriculum which has the youth remix Bible stories in new and creative ways. This class is led by John Foutch.

Disciple Bible Study

The Disciple Bible Study program is designed to develop strong local churches through the in-depth study of scripture. Through the Disciple program, participants are strengthened in their faith and guided into service and ministry. At First Presbyterian, the Disciple program is lead by veteran teachers Catherine Hansen and Robin Orewiler. They meet each Monday at 6 pm in the chapel. They are currently studying the New Testament. To sign up, click here.
