Faith formation is important for Christians of all ages. It shapes how we interact with God and with our families, our communities, our workplaces, and the world. In addition, continued adult study models for the children and youth of the church that one's faith journey is never complete.
First Pres has a strong tradition of offering educational opportunities for adults. We explore a wide range of topics related to faith in our Adult Education classes. We go deep in our engagement with God’s word in our Bible Studies. We develop deep-rooted relationships with God and each other in our various Small Groups.
Throughout the year, First Pres offers gatherings and events for adults to have a chance to connect, grow in faith and have fun.

Adult Classes
Throughout the school year, we offer adult education classes during the hour between services – 9:45-10:45 a.m. The classes range from taking an in-depth look at books of the Bible to topical studies. Some classes are video based, some book based, and some are led by members of the congregation or pastoral staff. Our goal is to create learning, discussion and connection, sometimes even make us squirm a little as we tackle challenging ideas and topics.
It’s a great way to get to know members of the congregation, too.
