Christian Education

Christian Education is a vital part of our ministry here at First Presbyterian Church. Whether you are young or old, new to the church or a long-time member, Christian Education is an important part of our faith journey. Our goal is to learn and grow as disciples of Jesus Christ. Together we share our common experiences, striving to be faithful and committed to a Christ-like way of life. We are engaged as a community of Christ, informed by the Scriptures, dedicated to prayer and open to the work of the Holy Spirit.
