Christian Education for All Ages

Adult Education
Because you are never too old to learn!

Exciting, theologically solid programs are offered to help adults grow on their faith journey. The Pastor's class meets on Sunday at 9:15 a.m. Please join us for these lively and enriching educational opportunities.

Bookends
Read a good book!

Bookends is an informal reading group and is open to anyone. The group selects a new book every other month, and the book is available at the Park Ridge Library. Read the book ahead of time, then join us for a lively discussion! The title of the book and location of the discussion will be published in the weekly bulletin and the Open Door. Contact Sue Pranno or the church office (847-823-4135) for more information.

Westminster/Senior High
Sunday mornings (during the school year) at 9:25 a.m.

The Sunday morning meetings are for high school students who are curious about solving the mysteries about God. The Sunday morning bible studies will involve subjects that relate to everyday life. Westminster Youth will offer Bible study, discussion, breakfast, and prayer. The study will invite high school students to open their hearts and minds to the power of God in their lives.

Confirmation
Sunday mornings (during the school year) at 9:25 a.m.

Confirmation class is provided to the Alpha.Com group -- the 7th and 8th graders. Confirmation is crucial to learn the basics of the Presbyterian faith, as well as encouraging growth in the Christian life. Part of becoming a member of the Presbyterian Church is integration into the worship life of the congregation as well as community service to the church and the community. In the Confirmation class, Alpha.Com members commit two years to attending classes, attending worship, doing community worship, leading church worship, and developing a strong relationship with an adult congregation member, a Covenant Partner. The commitment will transform a 7th and 8th grade student to a higher level of Christian maturity.

Children's Sunday School
Sunday mornings (during the school year) at 10:30 a.m.

Children in 1st through 6th grades are invited to attend Sunday School. We are debuting the Promiseland curriculum in September 2007.  The Curriculum is called "God's Story: Genesis-Revelation" which includes important Bible characters and events such as Moses, Passover and lessons from Jesus' life, while teaching important Word-based lessons and applications relevant to the lives of today's children.  Classes are also available for preschool and kindergarten children, and nursery care is provided for children under 2.
