We offer a variety of classes for adults in diverse formats covering a variety of material. All classes are aimed toward the same purpose, as expressed by the apostle Paul, “In order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way; bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God.” (Colossians 1:10) Consider this to be an invitation to join us in the adventure of growing together as God’s people.

The FPC Institute offers the best place for increasing Christian theological knowledge, growing in your relationship with Christ and maturing in your knowledge of Him and His love. Institute classes allow teachers and participants to investigate issues more closely than can be done in regular worship services. Class environments vary from emphasizing academic understanding, to highlighting practical life skills. Each class is taught by a member of our staff, an outstanding academic leader from our community, or a specifically trained lay teacher. We offer classes in The Bible, Christian Thought, and Christian Life and Ethics. Each "semester" also includes a Hot Topic, a focus on something currently in the news. We have a program for elementary school children with an emphasis on choir, Bible study and games. Child care will be provided for pre-school children and infants.
