ADULT EDUCATION SUNDAY SCHOOL OPPORTUNITIES:
9:00am-9:50am each Sunday between Labor Day and Memorial Day
First Presbyterian offers three distinct adult classes each Sunday morning that focus on growing your faith in a variety of ways. We hope you find a connection that will help you strengthen your spiritual journey.
Bible 101
The Bible 101 class meets at 9am in Room 101 (get the connection?) where we study the scripture that will be used in Sunday’s sermon. The class discussion is led by members with or without DVD use and sometimes donuts do appear!
Come join the lively discussion before service each week.
Class contact: Becky Jones
Journey Class
The Journey class meets at 9am each Sunday in Room 303, the Fireplace Room. This fall we will explore “From Jesus to Christ” and “God and the History of Art” using DVDs.
The class is full of great discussions with friendly, faithful people. Please join us and bring your ideas to the table!
Class contact: Barbara Jamison
The Village Class
You are invited to join The Village Sunday School class which meets each Sunday at 9am in the Session Room. This class, led by Bill and Terri Senter and Katherine Senter Matthews, is designed for parents and grandparents who long to help their children grow in faith while deepening their own.
We explore families in faith through Bible study and contemporary Christian resources.
Come grow your Christian faith through connection, conversation, and community.

ADDITIONAL GROUPS & RESOURCES
FPC 101 New Members Class is led by our talented and friendly congregational members. This five-part series is held two times a year (fall and spring) during the Sunday education hour and includes the following topics: fellowship with new members, studying Presbyterian beliefs and traditions, learning about our church ministries, discovering opportunities for service, and the history of our beautiful church building. We look forward to welcoming you to FPC!
Men of the Church Thursdays
This is a small group for men who want to grow in friendship and faith. The group will meet each Thursday morning from 7:45am to 8:45am at the Cape Fear Club, located on 206 Chestnut Street in downtown Wilmington. Gentlemen will gather for breakfast and fellowship. The selected scripture for the week is read aloud and group leaders lead the insightful discussion. RSVP’s to Hank Miller are preferred but not required.

Women on Wednesdays
WOW is a Bible study group that provides an opportunity for women of our church to study the Bible, grow in faith, and connect with one another. Through books and study guides, we share in expanding our faith formation, enjoying lively discussions, and fellowship in a supportive environment. This fun bunch meets the first and thirds Wednesdays each month from 11am – 12pm in the Session Room. We look forward to having you join us this year!

The Averette Lecture is an endowed annual lecture series at First Presbyterian Church. Each January a well renowned preacher or scholar visits First Presbyterian Church for a weekend. In addition to offering a lecture, the Averette speaker, preaches at Sunday morning worship services. This annual lecture provides the First Presbyterian Church family with exposure to issues outside of the Wilmington area and facing the Church today.

Resources
The church offers many opportunities for adults to grow and learn both through the resources on our Adult Education Resources page and here at church. We believe that our Christian Education never ends. We have never arrived as disciples of Christ but are always learning and growing in our faith and life.
