Elementary youth

Middle School  youth The Confirmation class is designed as a three-year model.  The first year emphasizes the Old Testament, the second year, the New Testament, and the third year, missions and "What It Means to Be Presbyterian."  This class makes crafts monthly to give to persons in a near-by retirement home.  During these visits, we share breakfast and fellowship.  The curriculum includes memorization of Bible verses and a general familiarity with the Bible itself.

Senior High youth use a variety of short-term Bible studies throughout the year.

Youth Fellowship is offered for both Junior Highs and Senior Highs at 6 p.m. on Sunday evenings – September through May.  A snack supper is provided by different parents for both groups before the groups divide for their programs.  In addition, retreats, mission trips and fellowship times are planned throughout the year. Please check out our youth link for further details.  

Currently four classes are offered on Sunday mornings for adults.  Each class selects its curriculum for the year using the Presbyterian curriculum as well as special study books. 

 

Additional opportunities for Bible study are offered throughout the year at various times –  examples: Women’s Bible studies, Lenten Luncheons with Bible study.
