First Presbyterian believes in encouraging members and friends of the church to grow their faith by participation in educational opportunities for all ages.
Adult education
Education is a life-long learning process. First Presbyterian offers a number of opportunities for adults to learn about issues pertaining to growing in their faith and gaining a better perspective of the Bible and deepening their relationship with God.
Books of the Bible, current events, and books written by Christian authors are discussed during Adult Sunday School. Everyone is encouraged and welcome to be part of this educational experience!
GRIEF SHARE SUPPORT GROUP
First Presbyterian Church will be hosting a Grief Share Support Group. All are welcome to meet in the church lounge from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m during scheduled cycles. Each cycle meets for 13 consecutive Mondays.
People grieve differently, and FPC’s grief support group will offer support and connection that comes from being with people who have also recently experienced a loss. The group will provide emotional support, validation, and education about grief.
If you have questions, contact the church office (641-684-5465).
