Christian Education Ministry
On Sunday mornings, throughout the week
and all year round, First Presbyterian Church of Atlanta offers a
comprehensive program of Christian education classes and activities for all
ages. Our goal is that everyone who comes to
this church - adults, youth, children, members and non-members - will grow
continuously in their personal knowledge and love of Jesus Christ. We want
all who come here to be guided by His love and teachings in their everyday
lives, constantly seeking God's will for their lives and ways to minister to
others in Christ's name. Our constant aim is to bring families and
individuals close together into one "church family." Our desire for the preschool children is
for them to experience the love of Jesus Christ through their teachers and caregivers,
developing their personal knowledge and love of our Lord Jesus Christ through
prayer, praise, fellowship, service, music, and education. In the preschool
years children have the opportunity to know and to establish relationships
with their “church friends” which will continue throughout their years
together. We offer elementary children a wide range
of worship, study, social, and service opportunities to encourage the growth
of their relationship with Jesus Christ and with each other. We also offer
activities and events that give families opportunities to experience their
faith together. Our youth ministry, for students in grades
6 through 12, provides a Christian community that offers worship, service,
study, and fellowship. Our model is the early church described in Acts
2:42-45. The Christian community provided for our young people guides them in
developing and deepening a faithful relationship with God through Jesus
Christ. Our youth program also encourages their commitment to Christ and their
reliance on the Holy Spirit to guide them daily. Young Adults at FPC are involved in the
work of the church, the study of the Word, and fellowship with one another. The Young Adults Program
includes two Sunday School groups: the Young
Adults Class and the Young
Married Couples Class. The young adults also meet outside of class
for Bible
Study, Community
Ministry and Social Events.
Our adult program includes many Sunday
School classes and a wide variety of opportunities for learning and spiritual
growth during the week to meet a wide variety of individual needs and
interests. The purpose of our Family Ministry program is to give emphasis to the congregation as an extended Christian family, and to strengthen families and deepen their spiritual foundation. With this program, the church provides educational opportunities for all stages of family life, fellowship activities to build up the Christian community, and outreach projects to deepen our understanding of Christian servanthood.
