Adult Discipleship
Our faith formation is a life time journey.
At FPC, our goal is to equip all students — children, youth and adults — to go out into the world to make and mold disciples for Jesus Christ. Join the journey, making friends along the way, discovering new truths about God and yourself, and growing in discipleship!
All classes are open and you are invited to join any time.
For information about our Christian Education Ministries, please contact Rev. Christa Brewer.

MONDAY MORNING SCHOLARS
This small group meets regular during the year to study a variety of books. Series generally run 4 – 8 weeks.
The Source: A Novel, by James Michener. Through the discoveries of modern archaeologists excavating the site of Tell Makor, Michener vividly re-creates life in an ancient Holy Land city and traces the profound history of the Jewish people—from the persecution of the early Hebrews, the rise of Christianity and the Crusades, to the founding of Israel and the modern conflict in the Middle East. The Source is a richly written saga that encompasses the history of Western civilization and the great religious and cultural ideas that have shaped our world.
