Children and Youth
Joy-Us Group
Ruth Rodgers and Lora Horne lead this group for 3-year-olds (prior to August 31, 2025) to 1st graders. The time together includes Bible stories, music, movement, and more! The Joy-Us Group meets in Lower Knox building.
Older Elementary Group
Kristi Button leads this group for 2nd through 5th graders. This group meets in Lower Knox Building. This group will use the Mini Revolutions Curriculum. Mini Revolutions is an intergenerational, lectionary-based curriculum grounded in the sacred rhythms of the Church year, crafted by ministers and practitioners who know what real church life looks like.
Youth
Amanda McDonald leads our Sunday morning option for youth in grades 6th – 12th. This group meets in Lower Knox Building. This group will use the Youth Mini Revolutions Curriculum. Mini Revolutions is an intergenerational, lectionary-based curriculum grounded in the sacred rhythms of the Church year, crafted by ministers and practitioners who know what real church life looks like.
Adults
There are three spiritual growth opportunities for adults every Sunday morning which we call discussion groups. Some churches divide Sunday School classes by age or gender, but FUPC welcomes diverse groups in all three classes. All are welcome to attend any of the three offerings
The Present Word is an in-depth Bible study and may be most similar to other Sunday School classes you’ve enjoyed. They will be learning about the better-known prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel this fall. This class meets in Calvin 201.
Thoughtful Christians is typically a book discussion group but this fall they plan to study hymns from a variety of perspectives. This class meets in Calvin 203.
Our Interim Pastor, Stewart Smith leads the third class. On September 14, there will be an introductory class for The Gospel According to Ted Lasso. He invites those interested to come hear about what he has planned for the remainder of the fall. This class meets in Upper Witherspoon.
