Helping you grow and mature as a disciple of Jesus Christ Adult Educational Ministries Myers Park Presbyterian Church 704.927.1275 adults.myersparkpres.org
Welcome!
We are a congregation doing our best to live out Christs commandment to be a disciple-making church. In this catalogue you will find multiple opportunities for growing and maturing in your discipleship. New Sunday Morning Classes We begin a new series of Sunday morning short-term discipleship classes (4-9 weeks in length) designed to complement the ongoing, existing Sunday School classes. They provide multiple entry points, short-term commitments, and a wide variety of teaching models and styles for learning (lecture, discussion, small groups). The primary audience is folks who do not attend a traditional Sunday School class. If you are not now in a Sunday School class, consider participating in one of these new options. A variety of other opportunities for deepening discipleship are also listed. For more information about any of our offerings, contact the adult education office at:
