Christian Education

“Our goal will not be to find the ‘right’ way to worship at Fort King Presbyterian Church but to

help different generations speak wisely, and listen closely, to each other. “ Fort King Presbyterian has a number of children and youth ministries, both for children of the church and children in our community.

 

Retreats

Ft. King has three retreats a year - Church Family Retreat, Couples Retreat and Women's Retreat. Go  to the Fellowship Activities page for dates and details

 

August 28th Each year, Montgomery Presbyterian Centers offers a presbytery wide Christian Education Event. A wide variety of classes and workshops ranging from spiritual growth to Bible study to Hot Topics at General Assembly will be offered. This is a wonderful opportunity to engage deeper in spiritual growth and education along with other members of the Presbytery. Information with the different offerings is available in printed form outside of Amanda Osenga's office and on the bulletin board outside of the Church Office. Registration is $20.00, which includes two courses and lunch.  

  

Adult Classes  

 

Pre-K class


We are so excited that we have a Pre-K class this year! This new class will meet in the CE Building. Teachers for the class will be Sheletha Strawder and Felicia McCoy. Teachers for the K-2nd grade class are April Carroll and Bernice Henry. The teachers for the 3rd -5th grade class are Chris Bishop and Rob Carroll. Each Sunday all the above classes will begin at 9:15 a.m. with music in the CE Building’s big music room before going to the individual classes. We will learn new songs this year to strengthen our curriculum as well as to share with the congregation when we sing “King’s Kids.”

Youth Classes

The Middle School Class, is being taught by Harvey and Kathy Bohner. This class meets in the Youth House.

The Senior High Class and teachers, Sally and Steve Layendecker meet in the Youth House. All high school students are invited to come, review modern movies and discuss the themes and possible Christian overtones.

 

High Tide

High Tide is the name of the elementary youth group at Fort King. It is open to all children in grades K-5. The group meets on the second and fourth Sunday of each month from 5:00 - 7:00 p.m. The program includes dinner and various forms of activities.

 Do We Care About The Children Of The Church? Fort King offers nursery care for children under 5 years of age during Sunday morning services. We have one paid staff person in the nursery, but we cannot operate without a volunteer each Sunday as our Child Security Policy requires two adults accompany any group of children. This means we need you! If 18 volunteers would volunteer three Sundays a year, it would completely fill the year's calendar! Please volunteer to help with this much needed service. Contact Onalee Mease at 687-3160 to volunteer. All the above classes begin at 9:15 a.m. and end at 10:15 a.m. For safety purposes, parents of primary children are requested to pick up the children from the CE Building at the end of class.

Child Security Policy!

Child Security Policy At the recommendation of the Christian Education Committee, the Session  has adopted a Child Security Policy that requires anyone working with our

children and youth to attend a training session of approximately 40 minutes. This includes teachers, High Tide and Youth Leaders, chaperones, nursery volunteers, VBS workers and Summer programs. For the protection  of our children and youth, as well as for the protection of our teachers, leaders and volunteers,  we feel this is of the utmost importance. We appreciate your willingness to support this policy by attending a training session. There will be two training opportunities.
