Classes & Programs
(Christian Education Wing)
First Pres is offering free resources and consulting for people looking for new employment opportunities. Our Career Transition Resources program helps our members and the larger community deal with one of the realities that has come about during the last few months: increased involuntary job loss. Experienced HR members are available to help with such actions as resume building, practice interviewing, career planning, and more.
If you would like to be connected with our Career Transition Team, or know of others who might want career guidance, please send an email to [email protected]. You will be contacted shortly thereafter to confidentially discuss how we can best help you.
Next Career Planning Course
Winter 2023
Classes will be held in room 101/103 during family night programming, 7:00 – 8:00 pm
(Chapel)
Teachers present multi-week series on scripture, Christian books, and spiritual topics that are relevant to the Christian journey. These series are separate and apart from our Sunday morning adult education with offerings intended to provide different perspective from the Christian worldview.
RESTORATIVE FAITH
Wednesdays, September 14 – November 23
7:00 pm / Sanctuary / Rev. Alex Lang
eginning on Wednesday, September 14 from 7:00 – 8:00 pm, Rev. Lang will be teaching his book Restorative Faith. Every week during this 11- week course, we will discuss a different chapter from the book. The book is designed to help people explore many of the logical pitfalls created by traditional Christian doctrine and to replace them with a more consistent theology for people with 21st century worldview.
The book can be purchased on Amazon or you can purchase a copy from the office. This will be a lively discussion where people can discuss their faith and ask questions that are usually off the table. We hope you will come and enjoy what will prove to be a very fun and intellectually stimulating class!
