FPC Travels
The mission of Adult Formation is to encourage and inspire our congregation to become lifelong and faithful followers of Christ. Just as much of Jesus’ ministry took place on roads and hillsides outside the synagogue, trips with FPC outside the walls of the church provide meaningful and transformational education.
FPC travelers immerse themselves in experiential learning, share their new findings with fellow travelers, and observe how studying in alternative contexts inspires fresh insights when they return home. Join FPC Travels for a first-hand look at how God is at work in the world.

Journey to Scotland
SEPTEMBER 30 – OCTOBER 9, 2024
Stand in cathedrals where the preaching of the Scottish Reformers stirred deep passions; walk the shores of Iona where Celtic spirituality flourishes to this day; visit castles and battlefields where proud Scots defended their country; and experience the beauty of the rugged Scottish terrain.
Guided by Jim Wallace, a Scottish pastor and former PCUSA pastor, the trip will be grounded in faith through morning prayers, visits to various kirks, and Sunday morning worship at St. Giles’ Cathedral. Join the tour to explore the history of Scotland, the roots of Presbyterianism deep in the Scottish earth, and the warmth and hospitality of the Scottish people all while building friendships of a lifetime.
