Growing through Study & Fellowship
FPC believes God invites and causes us to grow through study, learning, and prayer. We invite you to grow in your own knowledge of Jesus Christ and the Bible, develop meaningful relationships with other believers, and contribute to the spiritual and physical needs of those who are struggling, both inside and outside the walls of the church.

Bridges presents "The Chosen" | June 1- August 31
Bridges will begin a different kind of study of Jesus’s Ministry through viewing “The Chosen” episodes, followed by in-class small breakout groups discussing the Scriptures depicted in each episode. With the extended length of episodes, we will begin at 9:15 AM and go to 10:30 AM. Everyone is Welcome. As Jesus’s disciples encouraged others, “Come and See.” Contact Kay Minter.

This season, our Bridges class is combined with a Christian History and Western Civilization course - occurring in the same room at the same time.
This class will begin by exploring how the Christian community grew from a persecuted minority to being the recognized church of the Roman Empire, and how the church during the Middle Ages preserved civilization and spread the faith. We’ll then learn about reformers and intellectual currents before the Reformation; highlights and significance of the Reformation in Europe and Britain; the church’s absorption of new scientific knowledge; the Enlightenment; American contributions to Christianity and Western Civilization; the French Revolution; social and intellectual challenges in the 19th century; and modernization of the Roman Catholic Church at Vatican II. We’ll conclude with a look at the distinguishing features of Western Civilization today, which help explain why many people around the world yearn to live in the nations it has shaped. Each Sunday there will be a lecture (and discussion) along with 15-20 pages of optional background reading.
Sundays, January 5 through May 18.
