“Wherever living faith exists, there is a community endeavoring to know, understand, live, and witness to that faith"

--John Westerhoff, Will Our Children Have Faith?

At First Presbyterian Church, Concord, we are committed to a vigorous and wide ranging program of Christian Education for all members of the church.  In our Christian Education Ministry we strive to help create and nurture that community by focusing on the story of God’s salvation as we understand it through the Biblical witness and the teachings of the Church.  Christian Education at First Presbyterian, Concord, occurs whenever the stories of God's salvation in Jesus Christ is shared. Below you will find some of the formal ways in which that happens in this congregation

Worship Education

Christian Education and Worship go hand in hand to transform lives to the glory and service of God. We offer a wide variety of resources to assist parents in helping their children grow into an understanding of what worship means and the part they play in it.
