great opportunities to learn about and grow in the Christian faith. We have
dozens of classes and activities on Sunday and during the week in daytime and

new and if you've got an idea, please send an e-mail to youbelong@firstpresatl.org. Sunday Morning Fellowship
Every Sunday
morning, Fifield Hall is open between and after worship services, so that
members and visitors may gather to mingle with other members, meet new ones,
and enjoy coffee, juice, and pastries. Various members of the church take
turns serving as "greeters" for this fellowship time. Adult Sunday School Classes

outstanding Columbia Seminary students.

closer to Jesus Christ can learn to recognize Him in the experience of their
own lives. Led by a variety of
teachers and facilitators, the class enjoys lively discussions of how
scripture applies to everyday life. Faith and Life (Room 218) Internationals (Room 327) Formed by dedicated church members to provide a “home away
from home” for the increasing number of internationals in our area, this

God’s plan for us. This class is

difficult to understand passage. Women’s Bible Class (Room 156) This longstanding class maintains its original high
standard of in-depth Bible study while enjoying fellowship and offering
