Sunday School Classes

First Presbyterian has a very active Sunday school program and would love to have you join us. Below is a listing of the ongoing groups who gather each Sunday morning:

Discovery
Looking for a class to help you learn more about our church?  The Discovery Class is an introduction class for new and prospective members. The class studies such topics as "What Do Presbyterians Believe?", "What is the Mission of First Presbyterian Church?", and "How Can I Get Involved in First Presbyterian Church?"  The class is led by Betty White and the Laity Team. The class runs for six weeks and repeats periodically throughout the year.  Call the church to learn when the next Discover Class begins.
