“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
Discovery classes - Classes are available if you are interested in learning more about the Presbyterian Church U.S. A. and Fort King. You meet people who are seeking and asking questions, just like yourself. Whether you are considering membership or have decided to join Fort King, you will find these classes very informative. Call the church office at (352) 694-4121 to find out when they begin.
Sunday school classes are ongoing and start at 9:45 a.m. Adults, youth and children have a variety of classes. You are welcome anytime.

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.
