LEARN with us

Friendship Presbyterian Church is an open and affirming community of followers of Jesus Christ. We come from many different religious backgrounds, but all seek to grow into mature, informed, and faithful disciples. We strive to be a safe space where questions are welcome, and we can discuss the great issues of faith and life in the contemporary world with integrity, honesty, and respect.

Sunday Morning Bible Study

On Sundays, we gather in the Friendship Room at 9:30 AM to study the scripture passages which will be read in the worship service that day. No preparation is needed. This is an informal group that simply enjoys spending time together and loves to welcome newcomers!

Small Groups

From book studies and dinner groups to Advent and Lenten devotionals, we are exploring a number of small group opportunities. If you are interested in helping to coordinate or lead a small group, please contact Kim Ness, Director of Faith Formation (kim.presbyterian@gmail.com).

Faith Formation Resources

  • Around the Table: The Around the Table initiative of the PC(USA) invites parents, caregivers, and congregational leaders to nurture children and youth, helping them grow in faith and discover who God created them to be in today’s world.
  • Matthew 25: At its core, Matthew 25 is about the healing and restoration of relationships, systems, and societies that reflect God’s justice and love. Together we are committed to building congregational vitality, dismantling structural racism, and eradicating systemic poverty.
  • Faith Practices Toolkit: This resource offers guidance and suggestions to help communities and individuals develop their own faith practices. Resources on prayer, hospitality, sabbath, retreat, storytelling, and service.

  • d365: This daily devotional was written for youth and adults. The devotion follows a five-step format – Pause, Listen, Think, Pray, Go. Access online or through the app.
  • A Matter of Faith: This podcast is a collaboration between the Presbyterian Peacemaking Program and Unbound, the Interactive Journal on Christian Justice. In each episode, hosts give thoughtful responses to questions submitted by listeners on issues of faith, social justice and church life.
