FaithFirst
Learning Anytime, Anywhere
Forming our faith is a life-long process. From our very youngest disciples to our well-seasoned “saints,” we have diverse faith-growth needs and different environments and situations in which we best learn and grow. At First Pres, we are working on providing a network approach to faith formation because we know Sunday morning and Wednesday evenings do not fit everyone’s schedule every week. We are seeking to offer a variety of learning experiences, both in physical places and online spaces. FaithFirst brings selected Christian resources right to you so you can personalize learning at times convenient for you or your family. Use these at home by yourself, with your family or a “study partner,” or as you are on the go, traveling for work or for leisure. Get in the habit of checking what’s new and spend some time browsing our “playlist” to find replays of a program you might have missed at church, short topical videos, book studies, and other material that can feed your faith.
Make me to know your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths.
Lead me in your truth, and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all day long.
Psalm 25:4-5
