Christian Education for Children

Sundays at 9:30 a.m., we offer classes for children to learn the story of God's continuing love for humanity and His involvement in our day-to-day living.  Stop by to check out our beautiful facilities and meet our wonderful, caring teachers.

Young men and women in seventh and eighth grades and high school are invited to join our pastor for Confirmation preparation class, which begins September 15, 2013.  They'll learn what Christ's church stands for, and what it means to be a Christian, literally a "little Christ."  If you'd like to participate, please call the church office at 724-342-2310.

Last summer, an Eagle Scout from a nearby troop earned his God and Life medal with Pastor Williamson's expert guidance.  We'll soon have two Boy Scouts completing their God and Church medals, and their moms are completing their God and Church Mentor awards.  Summer is a great time for more Scouts to earn their God and Country religious awards.  If you're a Cub Scout, Boy Scout, Venturing Scout, Brownie, or Girl Scout and would like to learn more about your relationship with God through Jesus Christ and the church (and no, you don't have to belong to St. Paul's to participate), please call Pastor Williamson.

Christian Education for Teens and Adults

We were called by God to be disciples, followers of Jesus' example and teachings, and not just church members.  So faith education is a lifelong process.

Each Sunday morning, we offer two classes which seek to help us connect God's Word, recorded in the Bible, with our lives today.  The PhiliChristi Class is specially geared to more mature Christians, and class members bring their considerable knowledge and life experiences to the table as they read and discuss Scripture. 

The "Adult Class" meets in the Library and is a mixed-age group ranging from teens to seniors.  It's a sharing session, not a lecture-type class, and it can get pretty amazing with the different thoughts folks have about our daily Christian walk.  Currently, we're exploring Max Lucado's book, God's Story, Your Story.

Thursdays at noon, a group meets with our pastor for Bible study and prayer for an hour each week. The conversation is always lively, and we've been known to have some yummy snacks while we talk, so please drop by.  

Pastor Williamson also leads a "discussion group" every Friday at 11 a.m. at the Shenango Valley Seniors Center on North Buhl Farm Drive.  The dozen folks who participate each week discuss a Bible passage, and then pray for one another.
