Sunday School
On Sunday mornings we welcome 7-8 grade students to experience Biblical, gospel-centered teaching that is relevant to life in middle school. Join us at 9 am in the Youth Room for coffee and hot chocolate, followed by a lesson and discussion time.
Confirmation (6th Grade)
We have a great tradition here at First Presbyterian in our Confirmation class. Our students spend their 6th grade year of Sunday school in Confirmation. This is the class that prepares students for making a public profession of faith in Jesus Christ and thereby joining our church. Of course, most importantly, this is the year we explore what it means to have a personal relationship with Christ. Confirmation starts in August and culminates with a ceremony in May.
Our program is entitled: The Top 35 Bible Passages: The Verses You Can’t Live Without. We’ll study the essential content of the Scriptures with a particular focus on how to know God through Jesus Christ as he is revealed in his Word. Indeed, of all the things your child will study and do this year, none will be as important as Confirmation class. We can make such a bold claim not because we at the church are so great, but because God’s Word is the truth that leads to everlasting life. We want your children to have the knowledge that leads to salvation and an eternal loving relationship with God. Please contact Jessica for information on how to get your 6th grader involved in Confirmation (jessica@fpcbrg.org).
Sermon Notes and Attendance: We ask students to fill out and turn in at least 20 “Sermon Notes” sheets per Confirmation year. Our students find that this actually makes hearing a sermon easier! The note forms are available in class, at the Connection Center or below.
