Study
To be a Christian is to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. To be a disciple is to be a follower, and to commit oneself to understanding his life and teachings. -Douglas John Hall
If Christianity is going to be a relevant force in the world, it is critical that its followers understand the substance of their faith tradition. Christian Education is our commitment to this undertaking, and is available to all members and friends of the White Plains Presbyterian Church. Here is an overview of offerings and opportunities:
- For our youngest children, we offer a Nursery School (Monday through Friday) for children ages 2, 3, and 4. (*Link to Nursery School)
- On Sunday mornings, we offer infant and toddler care as well as regular Church School classes for children and youth between the ages of 3 and 14 (8th grade).
- For all unconfirmed youth who are 7th grade and older, we offer a year-long Confirmation Class.
- For our teenagers, the Youth Program offers a wide variety of activities including weekend retreats, work days, and mission trips.
- Throughout the year, we offer a menu of adult education programs including a Sunday morning Bible Study (8:30 A.M.) and a variety of Sunday morning (11:30 a.m.) sessions covering topics as diverse as homosexuality, war and marriage. These study programs typically run for two to three weeks.
- Periodically throughout the year, the Pastor facilitates a Monday evening Bible Study (7:00-8:15 p.m.).
- On Sunday mornings during the Lenten Season (11:15-12:00 noon), we offer a special program for people of all ages to reflect on the meaning of their faith, and how that faith intersects with everyday life.
- OUR PRYAYER MINISTRY This ministry is intended to strengthen and deepen our commitment to prayer. Additionally, this ministry will serve members and friends who have a desire to pray with another person. This Sunday immediately after worship, a small team of worship leaders (or prayer ministers) will be available for prayer in the chancel and in the rear of the church.
- WEDNESDAY CONVERSATIONS at 12 NOON – 1:30 PM – CONFERENCE ROOM -
An opportunity for Prayer and Fellowship. Beverages and dessert provided. A new program has been launched to offer to anyone … the opportunity to come together with other fellow believers … for a time of conversation and prayer. The conversation may address international events, national news or something more local. Additionally, time will be set aside for prayer – for each other, for our families, for the community and for the world. Come and check us out this Wednesday, or any Wednesday!!
