Summer Sunday School
SUMMER SUNDAY SCHOOL IS APPROACHING! Beginning on Sunday ,June 1st, and extending through Sunday, August 17th, all of our Sunday School classes will meet jointly in the Chapel at 9:30. During this twelveweek period we will enjoy a video series led by Dr. Steven J. Lawson: The Doctrines of Grace in John. In this series, Dr. Lawson demonstrates that the Gospel of John offers one of the clearest presentations of the doctrines of grace in all of Scripture, revealing that salvation is all of God from beginning to end. Each class period will consist of a thirtyminute lesson followed by a brief discussion of the major theme. Study Guides are available in Ward Hall or in pdf format. We would also encourage everyone to meet in Ward Hall between 9:00 and 9:30 for a time of fellowship. Coffee, juice, and assorted breads will be provided.
Welcome
No matter who you are, where you are from, where you are in your personal faith journey or past church experience, you are welcome and wanted at First Presbyterian Church.
God is good, all the time!

Wonderful Wednesday
Wednesday night fellowship will be resuming in January 8, 2025 and we encourage Youth attendance for this sweet time of fellowship and Bible study.
FPC Youth
Our Youth SS program is designed to facilitate spiritual growth through Christian fellowship and the study of God’s Word. In the new year, the Youth will be continuing their survey of Paul’s letter to the Romans. Please join us at 9:30 am in the teen room for this special time to study and consider the person and work of Jesus Christ. Let us all praise God for His sacrifice in Christ and strive to live a life that glorifies Him and bears witness to His awesome love and enduring faithfulness.
We are very excited to announce a new opportunity for Youth fellowship! In partnership with Crawford Street United Methodist Church, we will co-host Youth fellowship on Sunday evenings from 5:00 to 6:30 pm. With some variance and flexibility week-to-week, the fellowship will include a meal, singing/music, a devotional, and time for games/ activities for the Youth. A schedule with additional details is available and will include several opportunities for parents to volunteer and otherwise support our Youth. It is our hope that this ministry will be understood and received as an opportunity for families to come together and celebrate our many blessings in Christ Jesus, and that our Youth might enjoy an increase in their love for God, in their appreciation for His saving grace, and in their love for each other, all by and through the fellowship of the Holy Spirit. Please contact Will or Laura Montgomery for more information. There is currently a GroupMe that provides weekly information.
