Classes and Studies
Rather than just providing information, our classes and programs create experiences that engage and transform our hearts and actions. Time together as a community nurtures us personally and encourages us to pour out the love of Christ to all.
We offer classes that focus on scripture, theology, and/or discipleship. Classes resume September 10th at 9:45am and will be available in-person at our church or online through Zoom.
You can find a full list of classes, Bible studies, and small groups below.
Young Adult Bible Study
This Bible study meets in members’ homes for thoughtful conversation on scripture, theology, and how faith shapes our lives. Led by a pastor or theological teacher, it’s a space to ask questions and explore faith—no prior experience required.
First Drafts of Faith
Grab a drink and join other young adults for casual, meaningful conversation around a central faith question. A relaxed setting to connect, reflect, and enjoy community—the first round is on us.
Young Adult Service Opportunities
Join fellow young adults and church members for rotating monthly service projects that benefit the community. A great way to build relationships while making a difference.
Young Adult Monthly Social
This monthly social gathering is all about connection—bowling, dinner, escape rooms, and more. A chance to unwind midweek and meet new friends in a fun, informal setting.
Young Adult Lunch Bunch
The first Sunday of every month, immediately following the 11 a.m. worship service, we gather together on the front church steps and walk to a local restaurant. No registration required—just meet on the steps!
Summer Sunday School
*Note the location change: this class will meet in Wood Fellowship Hall Overflow for the rest of the summer.
The Reverend Rob Spach will lead a 10-week summer series on Celtic Christianity during the Sunday School hour. We’ll explore the appreciation of God through nature, human blessedness, liturgy, the arts, social justice, and spiritual practices.
Tuesday Bible Study Summer Book Group
This group meets bi-weekly on Tuesdays from June 2 to August 11.
In this six-week study, we’ll discuss “And It Was Good: Reflections on Beginnings,” by Madeleine L’Engle, a part of her Genesis Trilogy.

Spiritual Direction
Are you longing for a deeper connection with God? Curious about where God may be leading you? Spiritual Direction can help you deepen your relationship with God or discern God’s calling in your life. Sessions are guided by a trained spiritual director and may include prayer, conversation, and silence, offering an unhurried space to share freely without fear of judgment. If you have questions about spiritual direction, contact Rob Spach at rspach@firstpres-charlotte.org, or scan the QR code to schedule your first session online!

Bread for the Journey
Join to engage in questions and responses that flow from reading a weekly Gospel passage together. No preparation is needed. Bring your lunch if you’d like.
Rob Spach, Parish Associate, will provide the text and guide the conversation each week. This offering is open to all ages.
