Christian Education

to enjoy refreshments and fellowship before and after classes.  All are welcome-especially children.

Our Christian Education Committee takes nurture in the faith seriously.  The study of scripture and scripture-related materials helps give insight into who God is, who we are and what God requires.  Learning is a lifelong process.  The mission of the C.E. Committee is to provide a path to further teaching and learning about God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit for all ages.

Childcare is available for children ages 35 months and under.

Adult Christian Education classes study both adopted Presbyterian Curriculum and that of contemporary authors that foster sharing and challenging dialogue each Sunday.  Under the leadership of caring, dedicated leaders, these classes offer practical application of Christian principles in today's society.

Horizons

Studying — The Present Word

This popular adult curriculum continues the rich and long tradition of adult Bible discovery.  Relevant, thought-provoking and stimulating, the quarterly Student's Book includes a Scripture reading for the lesson, study materials with reflection questions throughout, and a prayer at the conclusion of each lesson.  Daily Bible readings and assignments for the next lesson allow the learner to do some study and meditation at home.

Children

Pre-K through 5th grade children join together for classes that explore what it means to belong to God.  Under the guidance of loving teachers, they look at the Old and New Testament stories to better understand how God chooses to live in and through relationships with human beings.  These fun and active lessons are taught through stories, crafts, games and music.  WOW (Wonders of Worship) is offered in the spring semester.  Lessons and activities focus on gaining an understanding of the Presbyterian order of worship, the liturgical year and the history of hymns commonly used in worship.
