Adult Ministry at FPC

Christian Formation

Christian Formation takes place every Sunday at 9:15AM and in other periodic throughout the week. Fall & Winter 2025 Christian Formation classes include:

  • SEP 7 - SEP 28 | SUNDAYS AT 9:15AM | MULTI-PURPOSE ROOM

    This 4-week Christian formation opportunity is for parents, those who have parents, or anyone who exists in any family structure (i.e., everyone!). We’ll look through biblical examples of parenting (the good, bad, and ugly), discover what the Church teaches about parenting and family life, and discern how to live best into our roles as Christian parents or Christian (adult) children. Through four weeks, we’ll simply ask, “What difference does being a Christian make for parents?” The class will be led by Vincent Williams. Expect to dedicate approximately one hour each week to reading or homework before each session. No homework for the first session!

  • OCT 5 - OCT 26 | 9:15AM | MULTI-PURPOSE ROOM

    This is a mission-focused series that will encourage adults at FPC to consider other perspectives and offer hospitality to our neighbors beyond the walls of our church. Topics include our Jewish neighbors, Glebe View neighbors, unhoused neighbors, and politically different neighbors.

  • NOV 2, 9, 16 | SUNDAYS AT 9:15AM | MULTI-PURPOSE ROOM

    This beloved class is being taught by CF elder, Bill Reidway. All fans of Star Wars and sci-fi, come and be a part!

  • NOV 23, 30 & DEC 7, 14 | SUNDAYS AT 9:15AM | MULTI-PURPOSE ROOM

    This class unpacks worship during the time of Advent, exploring the theology behind the songs we sing and liturgy we put into practice.

  • This group is led by Senior Pastor Henry Brinton and studies the texts that are the basis of the Sunday sermon. All are welcome; no Bible experience required!

    Info: Fridays at 11AM in Room 110. In-person and online. Contact henry@fairfaxpresby.com for Zoom link.

    Note: Currently on Summer schedule, meeting once a month on July 18 and August 22. Weekly meetings resume on September 5.

Small Groups

Small Groups are a vital way to connect with one another and God beyond Sunday mornings. Adult favorites include the Hiking Group, Cycling Enthusiasts, Sip & Savor, and more. All of our groups are intergenerational and a rich way to connect with fellow adults at FPC and younger members. For a full listing of our Small Groups, click here.

Volunteer & Leadership

One of the best ways adults can grow in their faith and connect with others is by using their gifts in leadership and volunteer spaces. Getting connected with a ministry is a great way to begin serving at FPC. In addition, there are many ways you can use your gifts at FPC.
