Education Committee

The Education Committee is a committee of the Session and is composed of members from the Session and members from the congregation at large.

The Education Committee is responsible for structuring and evaluating the educational programs of the church. It recruits and trains teachers for the church school, provides materials and develops curriculum to support Christian learning for all age groups. Its responsibilities include the Church School, youth programs and adult study activities.

Ministry to children and youth is one of the highest priorities of Faith Community Presbyterian Church. Our Education Director's primary job is to minister to the children and youth of our church. In addition, we have a number of programs and events to address the spiritual and religious growth of our young people.

Children's Ministry

We are proud to use the Faithwever curriculum. This exciting program has a "through the Bible" three year scope. Children of all ages study the same Bible story in age appropriate ways. Take home papers offer family activities to reinforce each lesson.

LOGOS

LOGOS is a weekly youth fellowship program offered on Wednesday afternoons from 4:30 to 7:00 p.m. The children participate in Bible study, recreation, dinner and worship skills. Each week there is a different theme that guides the recreation and dinner aspects of this fun program.

Youth Ministry

Mid-High and Senior High Youth Groups
The Mid-High High Youth Group meets at 6:30pm on Sundays. The Senior High Youth Group meets at 6:00 pm on Sundays. Both youth groups and are engaged in a number of activities meant to strengthen their relationship with one another and with God. They also participate in special activities each year such as retreats, over nights and a visit to Cedar Point. The youth work in a local soup kitchen and nursing home. They have adopted families at Christmas time and participate in special worship services throughout the year.

In addition, our Mid-Highs and Senior Highs have the opportunity to be part of special mission trips. In the past they have been a part of the Service Corp at Ghost Ranch in New Mexico. Several youth went to Honduras in an inter-generational mission trip in 1999, and annually devote a portion of their summer to restoring the homes of the needy in the "Pittsburgh Project".

Confirmation
Confirmation is held each year for the ninth-graders beginning in October with a retreat. Classes meet Sunday mornings at 9:00am. Each confirmand has a sponsor who guides them through this next step in their spiritual journey. Confirmation concludes with a Confirmation Celebration dinner.
