Adult Ministry Offerings
Providence’s adult Christian Education classes are designed to provide a context where adults may engage in meaningful, challenging, and exciting education programs that prepare and strengthen them to live as faithful people in God’s world.
As a congregation, Providence seeks to embody a generous, welcoming spirit in all aspects of church life, including our Christian Education classes. We hope that you will join us!
We offer a variety of on-going classes that meet each week as well as short-term studies throughout the year.
There’s a place to belong at Providence Presbyterian. Connect with other adults and grow in your relationship with Christ through one of our small groups.
Presbyterian Women is among the most active and longest standing organizations at Providence. You can find a circle or small group most any weekday to enjoy Bible study, book discussions, and fellowship. Contact: Jessica Jacks-Turkas & Courtney Ritchie

Connect & Grow - Woven together in our faith.
Part of growing deeper in Christ is committing to personal study and spiritual conversations with others. For detailed information and descriptions of this year’s Sunday School Classes, Circles, Small Groups or to learn how to join these groups, find contact information for each group at the end of this booklet.
ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL AT 9:30 AM
We learn and support each other as we study the foundations of our Presbyterian faith in Scripture and the writings of Christian theologians and teachers.
We offer engaging conversations around parenting, relationships, and self-care with core Christian values as our foundation. Our class serves parents, partners, and young-ish adults.
Each Sunday, a Providence class member volunteers to read one of the chapters of our study aloud to the group and then we have in-depth discussions.
A class open to all ages and stages. Each class begins with a prayer and contains a lot of discussion, using the Bible, lesson plans, and books as a base.
