Adult
A hunger for learning God’s Word fuels a vibrant adult Christian Education program here at First Presbyterian Church. We offer a number of adult classes with varied curriculum and teaching styles which encourage us both to “Know Christ” and “Grow in Christ.” Our four adult Sunday school classes are co-ed, while Bible study groups exist both for men only and women only. Throughout the congregation, small groups meet in homes on their own for Bible study. Many of the classes and groups perform their own mission work, helping those in need within our community.

Men's Prayer Breakfast
Our Men’s Prayer Breakfast group meets at 6 a.m. each Thursday morning, with the exception of holidays. We share breakfast items and conversation in a friendly atmosphere for the first half hour and Bible study the next half hour. We welcome all men of various faiths. Give us a chance to meet you. See you Thursday - 6 a.m.!
Women's Bible Study
All women of all ages, members, friends, women of the community, are invited to join us as we listen to noted Bible teachers weekly on dvd, study on our own during the week, then come together again to share how God is reaching out to us in our daily lives.
The studies not only impact us individually, but speak directly to our lives together as the body of Christ. When studies are taking place, a Tuesday morning group meets from 9 to 11 a.m. and a Tuesday evening group from 7 to 9 p.m. Check with the church office or church calendar for our current topic and schedule.
