ADULT MINISTRIES

The mission of the Christian Education Committee is to encourage the teaching of the Bible and growth in Christian Faith.

Along with Sunday School on Sunday mornings, we also have groups for men, women, young adults, mature members (senior adults), and intergenerational groups that meet throughout the week to connect and grow in faith and fellowship.

Need help finding a group that's right for you?

Contact Rev. Emily Frandsen, Associate Pastor for Faith Formation, or feel free to drop into any class at any time.

SUNDAY SCHOOL

Sunday School classes at FPC center on a variety of topics, include all age ranges, and are led in a wide array of formats.
Typically, Sunday School meets from 9:45 - 10:45 a.m. (August through May) and 9:00 - 9:45 a.m. (June and July).
During this time of pandemic, some classes meet in-person, some virtually, and some as a hybrid in-person and online combo.
