Formation Classes meet each Sunday between worship services at 10:15am. There’s something for everyone: Children, Students, College, Adults and FPCOnline. Find the class that’s your best fit, and attend this week. As a Church Family, we build radical relationships with Christ and each other through biblically-based Formation while being sent to Live Truth in the world. The first Sunday of each month is reserved for rich Fellowship in a larger, more relational setting.
Basics & Foundations is one of the longest standing Formation Classes at FPCO. Led by Larry Kreider and Jerry Roper, the class is large format and lecture style covering various topics from the Scriptures to the catechisms. Most of the folks in the class have been at FPCO for quite some time and would love to have you join their Formation Hour family! Currently, studying the Westminster Confession taught by Bill Reisenweaver.
An adult Sunday morning class that offers weekly lessons focused on the content of the Bible. Each year we work through an overview of the Biblical narrative in some manner, and then take a season to look at a particular book or theological theme in the Bible. The class is hosted by Servants in the Son, organized by Al Williams, and taught by Rev. Dr. Case Thorp and guest lecturers. This is a great place to invest if you are hoping for biblical teaching and ample time to connect with other participants in weekly table discussion.
The Couples Class is a Formation Class primarily comprised of married couples within the life of the church. Led by the Witter and Anderton families, this class explores topics such as marriage, parenting, and all things life within the family unit from a biblical perspective. If you are hoping to invest in some new relationships alongside your spouse or interested in learning more about the dynamics of faith and family, this is a wonderful class to invest in.
