Christian Ed and Discipleship

There are Sunday school classes for ages 3 through adult throughout the school year following morning worship. A nursery is provided. The purpose of our Sunday school is to teach God's people to both know and practice the truth as it is in Jesus Christ.

Pre-school / Kindergarten (ages 3-5)

Mrs. Debby Miller is the teacher for this group. She and her husband Gary live in Penn Yan. She is adapting material from New Tribes Mission for use in this class, intending to provide the young children with a good foundation for understanding the gospel.

Elementary Class

Last year this class began working on learning the Children's Catechism. The first portion of this year will be spent reviewing and completing that series of lessons. Mr. Jonathan Griffiths is teaching this class and lives in Buffalo with his wife Jennifer. There is a copy of the Children's Catechism available at http://opc.org/cce/FirstCatechism.html [or printer-friendly version].

High Schoolers and Adults

The combined adult and high school Sunday School class is studying the Westminster Shorter Catechism under the leadership of Pastor Judd. (Team teaching with the elders.)

Continuing this series for the fall and winter of 2009, the class will be dealing with such topics as:
     - Death for the believer– How are we to prepare? And what are God's promises?
     - Eschatology ("last things") and the return of Jesus Christ.
     - Worship, parenting, and living in the world as we look together at the Ten Commandments.

The Shorther Catechism is available here.

(or here as a Printer-Friendly version)

A PDF file with full proof texts is also available from the OPC web site.

Our Men’s Study Group meets one evening each month (usually the last Thursday). This is an opportunity to study life issues from a Biblical perspective and to give mutual encouragement and accountability. We have begun working through Horatius Bonar's book, Night of Weeping: When God's Children Suffer. (a version is available on line at http://books.Google.com) Contact the church office if you have any questions or would like to know more about this opportunity.

Other recent studies have included:

"Holiness" by J.C.Ryle
Booklets such as

“Just One More – When Desires Don’t Take No for an Answer”

“Worry – Pursuing a Better Path to Peace”

“Anger – Escaping the Maze”

“Discovering God’s Will”

“How to Be Free from Bitterness”

Women's Ministry

There is Ladies' Bible Study group which meets during the school year for Bible study, fellowship, and prayer. The group meets twice monthly (on Tuesday mornings) and is using the book Becoming a Woman of Excellence by Cynthia Heald to guide the study. You can find the next date for the study on our Schedule page. Contact the church office if you would like more information about this group.
