Sunday morning Sunday School, 10:00-10:50 each Sunday between Labor Day and Memorial Day First Presbyterian offers three distinct adult classes each Sunday morning.

Classes are primarily led by church members who feel called to lead their peers in this way and to grow in faith together.

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.
