Adults
At First Presbyterian Church, we value the cultivation of our spirits as one of the most important components of who we are as human beings. Spiritual Formation is a process and a journey through which we open our hearts to a deeper connection with God, and sharpen our attentiveness to him. The practices and meaning of spiritual Formation can be found in various disciplines, including meditation, prayer, study, simplicity, service, confession, guidance, worship, and celebration. We are committed to providing opportunities for adults to discover, experience, and engage in deeper life-long learning of the Word of God in Jesus Christ, the Holy Scriptures, the unique theology of the Reformed tradition, and the relevance of faithful discipleship in today's complex world.

Modern Art of the Black Church
(April 26–May 24)
While religious art is often thought to have declined in the modern secular era, a closer look tells a different story. This class explores how the American Black church continued to inspire painters and sculptors — and what these brothers and sisters in Christ have contributed to our shared faith.
If you like to read, the Adult Spiritual Formation Team hopes you will continue to enjoy our FPC Reads project. FPC Reads 2025–2026 includes a list of 35 books on various themes—from religion to social justice to general topics—indeed, something for everyone! Most of the books are in paperback or available for e-readers. Books chosen for the monthly discussion group may be purchased from the church office for $10.

The Second Mountain: The Quest for a Moral Life, by David Brooks
In this book, Brooks explores our goals for life and discusses how we are often originally defined by cultural goals which we ultimately find unfulfilling. He then suggests that to live a life of meaning and purpose, we need to make four commitments: to family, to vocation, to faith, and to a community.
