John joined First Presbyterian Church over thirty years ago in anticipation of his marriage to the former Louise Martin. John has since served as a Deacon, an Elder, and chair of various committees, including the Youth Committee and Stewardship Committee. He began teaching Sunday School in the Youth Department in mid-1990s at the suggestion of Rusty Douglas and Mark DeVries.
Class Size: 20-40
Age Group: 30-somethings to 50-somethings; typically, couples connected to FPC Youth Groups
Curriculum: Lessons are loosely based on Mark DeVries' Spice Rack Series, and always involve Scripture. We are searching for answers, so bring your Bible to class. Following a "go around question" (which everyone must answer), a spiritual issue relating to our culture is posed to the class. Discussion is encouraged and always occurs. Leader input varies inversely to class participation, and laughter is frequent.
