K-7 Church School Our K-7 church school meets Sundays at 9:00 a.m. during the program year (roughly September through May). The school assembles in the sanctuary for a brief message and organizational work, and then heads upstairs to our new church school classrooms. We use the age-appropriate rotation-model curriculum from the Presbyterian Church (USA): We Believe/Workshop. This is a smartly designed curriculum which employs various learning methods to learn and celebrate biblical messages, such as: Storytelling Art and Craft Drama Games and Puzzles Audio-Visual and more
The FPC children really find that getting at the lessons in different formats makes for richer, more interesting learning!

Nursery Staffed by childcare director Brenda Adiska, the FPC nursery is open Sundays 9-12 during the program year, and 9-11 during the summer. This lets the parents get some time to learn and grow in the peace of the sanctuary, but especially, this is so our youngest church goers can benefit from the care given there, the "little Christian community" that is formed, and from crafts and readings from The Beginner's Bible that Brenda offers.
We also welcome everyone from newborn on up to be in the sanctuary with Dad and/or Mom. We are all children of God.

Adult Study The FPC Adult Study Group meets Sunday afternoons at 5pm in the church library for concise, to-the-point, one hour study, discussion, and fellowship. In recent months we studied the 16 chapters of the Gospel of Mark, and a current book. We also do shorter studies in current topics, and sometimes watch a short film. Decaf and often dessert is served! It's led by the pastor and different church members, and our goal is simply to learn and grow, to get to know each other along the way, and to have fun.

Youth Group The FPC Youth Group is cooperatively led by the upper youth and a number of adult advisors. In other words, in this group the youth take on responsibility for what they want to do through the year, from studies to outreach work to hang out time! In recent years the Youth Group has attended both Fire Up! in Marquette and Power of One in Green Bay, has sponsored a Compassion International child, has met for a mid-winter study series, has raked leaves for the elderly in the community and bought Angel Tree presents...and has served a congregational Thank You meal. Youth Sunday--usually shortly after Easter Sunday--is a worship service not to be missed. Our youth are growing up strong in maturity, faith, service, and purpose.
