Equipped

We would love to have you join us for Equipped.

The objective of our Equipped Adult Education Program is to equip participants for the work of ministry. (Ephesians 4:12)

By providing classes and events focused on the study of Scripture, Theology and Church History, as well as Christian Living, Culture and the Arts, Equipped classes allow people at First Pres the opportunity to dig deeper in knowing, loving, and serving our Lord Jesus Christ.

Our regular Equipped class time is Sunday mornings from 10:00 – 10:45 a.m. (September – May)

In addition to Sunday mornings, because we want to involve our adult education program in the First Pres mission of More Than Sunday, throughout the year, we also offer several special presentations and events scheduled on different days, at various times.

We hope you’ll consider joining us on Sunday mornings or at one of our special programs.

Sunday Mornings

God, Emotions, and the Biblical World
Sunday, April 14, 21, 28 & May 5 | 9-9:45am | Parlor

Class Description

The Bible presents God and humans as experiencing a range of emotions, love, anger, happiness, sadness, disgust, and regret. In this class we will look at what the study of emotions in the cultural world of the Bible helps us to understand about the biblical portrayal of God and humanity, as well as ourselves, as emotional beings.
