“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.

Growing in Grace & Gratitude.  Children begin to learn stories of God’s love by watching, listening, playing, and exploring in the context of a faith community. These stories and activities are part of Sunday morning childcare offered from 9:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. If you have not completed a child registration form since July 2021, please click here to do so.

Fall 2022 we are excited to welcome Richard Newton, teacher, with the High School group.  And, Avery Arden continues as virtual assistant teacher.

This year we begin the Follow Me curriculum. Following Jesus is a lifelong journey where we learn and do what Jesus said and did. It takes more than the head, checking off boxes of belief. It even takes more than the heart, feeling deeply about another person or a cause. Following Jesus is about these things and more. It is also about doing. And it takes practice. And practice. And more practice.  So, we begin with the spiritual practice: Make Peace.

WHAT DOES MAKE PEACE MEAN? Jesus says “blessed are the peacemakers” in his Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:9). In this unit, we will explore how making peace requires a thoughtful, active posture rather than a passive one from those wishing to follow Christ. Making peace has many components, models, and opportunities for participants, with no one universal prototype. God uses our unique gifts and talents to offer this world a small glimpse of peace, but together we can change our culture from one of defensiveness and aggression to one of vulnerability and acceptance. Peace is possible when we engage with others and name our challenges for one another. When we see one another for who we truly are, then we can begin to create a community that is free from resentment, contempt, and unhealthy competition.
