Faith Formation

Where Faith Comes to Life

“At Grace Presbyterian Church we seek to offer more than Christian education.  Christian formation should engage the whole person—intellect, passions, and spirit—in a process and practice of Christian maturity. It seeks to form or shape a meaningful way of being Christian and putting Christian faith into practice in the world.

With all ages we encourage everyone to be both a learner and a practitioner.  - Diane Butler Bass, Process, Not Program: Christian Faith Formation for Vital Congregations.

Children: K - 4th Grade

Our K-4th Graders are invited to a Sunday morning small group designed just for them.  They will enjoy learning through a variety of ways: music, art, drama, crafts, storytelling, and more.  And, each week includes free play time and snacks.

This year we are using the Follow Me curriculum.  Instead of memorizing specific stories we learn about the things Jesus said and did.  We will hear Bible stories and stories from contemporary children's books, and watch videos to help us understand the things Jesus said and did.  Then, we will find ways to practice and practice and practice putting our faith and love into action.

Come to the Garden Rm. - Main Building - located just outside the fellowship hall.

Middle School (5th grade to 7th grade) and
High School (9th grade to 12th grade)

Our youth classes study the Follow Me curriculum.  Instead of memorizing specific stories we learn about the things Jesus said and did and find ways to practice and practice and practice putting our faith and love into action.

These groups meets every Sunday, 9:45 a.m. in the Ormond Building. 

Middle School Teachers: Sherry Kimbro and Jane Shipley  High School Teachers: Richard Newton and Avery Arden

And, Check out the virtual Youth Room for reads and videos, and activities!

Our college/adult small group uses the Follow Me and The Wired Word curricula. Follow Me is based on practices Jesus did and taught us to do as faithful followers. Written for people of all ages who wish to live out their faith, this curriculum examines where these practices are found in the Bible and how they have been used in Christian faith then and now.  "The Wired Word" connects and applies scriptures to current events

Meets every Sunday, 9:45 hybrid class in the conference rm. and is available via Zoom: mtg. id: 868 2900 9150
