Learning

Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. (Ps 119:105)

People at First Presbyterian Church desire to know God.  We know God because of Jesus, and we learn about Jesus through the Bible.  The Bible comes alive through faith, and faith comes alive through the Bible. The faith given to us by God through the Holy Spirit opens our ears to hear and opens our eyes to see Truth.  As we learn about God and strive to live as God asks of us, we are always turning together to the Bible. Let’s study and learn together!

We  offer opportunities for people of all ages to study and learn together about God’s Word.  From September through May we gather at 9:15 a.m. for Sunday School every Sunday.

 

Our children’s class is taught alternately by Carrol Lewis and Marie Hopkins.  Children participate in activities, make crafts and art, sing, and learn about God, God’s love, and God’s love for them.  The children have fun while learning many of the foundational stories in the Bible.  Recently, the children have been memorizing the books of the Bible.  You should hear them go!

(Your child doesn’t need to be dressed like the young man pictured above to come to Sunday School! Come as you are.)

 

Right now, we are at work on regrowing our youth program.   When they have met, the youth class has talked about a variety of things, from Scripture to current events.  We encourage youth to ask questions and look at the world and Scripture from many vantage points.  The youth class engages in and studies mission and evangelism as well.

Our adult class is now studying the gospel according to St. John.  During Lent, we also read and discussed Tullian Tchividjian’s Jesus + Nothing = Everything, which won Christianity Today’s award as best book of 2011 on Christian Living.   Before that, the adult class read and discussed Paul and His Letters, by John B. Polhill.  Come and learn alongside us!
