Christian Education

We have a number of continuing and ad hoc Christian Education programs. The regular opportunities include these:

  • Christian Education for Children - We have Sunday school every week during the school year for children ages 3 - 12. Our program is a joint program with St. Paul's Episcopalian Church. Using the "Godly Play" curriculum, children will learn about the wonderful stories of the bible, the basic flow of the Christian church year, and our teachers will walk with them as they learn what it means to be a disciple of Jesus in the world in which they live today. We have excellent teachers who are extremely knowledgable, committed and nurturing. Please come and see what wonders and joys await your children as they explore their faith journey!

  • Presbyterian Women Bible Study - Two groups of women meet each month, afternoon or evening, to discuss the Horizons Bible study lessons published for PW. In September, 2005, we will begin a 9-lesson study of the Liturgical Calendar.

  • We have many other opportunities for Christian education and formation including periodic bible studies, issues forums, sermon discussions, book studies and anything you might want to lead or organize! We are always learning and growing in our faith, and there is no substitute for doing that within the context of community. We value the diversity of experience, perspective and thought found when people of all walks of life come together to explore the biggest questions that face us as human beings.
