SUNDAY FUNDAY

Everyone of all ages and backgrounds love to have fun! Let's make learning about our faith & God fun for all ages together. Sunday Fundays are focused around a theme or Bible story and made for intergenerational enjoyment and interaction through different stations around the church which honor the many ways we can worship & grow in faith. These stations offer the ability to learn and worship through playology, prayer, meditation, song & dance, crafts, games, at home practices, and more. There is something for all ages, interests, and faith levels.


If you wish to volunteer to help out with Sunday Funday stations, please contact Meredith Orel at meredith@svpc.org.

FLOCK FELLOWSHIP

Considering events coming up at the church, community events, ways to support our ministries through volunteerism, Flock Fellowship Sunday members and families will have the opportunity to engage and connect with one another, as well as our church. 


The goal for Flock Fellowship Sundays is to connect families to other church members by catching them up on what is happening at the church and ways they can get involved with service opportunities, congregational events, and family support through intergenerational interaction. 

In addition, we hope that Flock Fellowship allows for deacons and members to stay connected face-to-face & up-to-date with life events, building a stronger SVPC community and congregation overall. 


Ice breakers, discussion topics, and ways to get involved with the CE ministry will be provided for deacons by the CE ministry for each Flock Fellowship meeting. Any other ministries hoping to benefit from Flock Fellowship will need to get information relevant to deacons. 


Contact your deacon for more information about the rotating meeting spots at church and to learn about more ways to get involved at SVPC!


COMPASS GROUPS

Transforming faith through common ground in small groups. Everyone meets in Potts Hall for a dose of energy & quick message, then breaks out into small groups, your Compass group!


Everyone belongs to a “compass group.” Our compass groups bring individuals from similar backgrounds or groups together in conversation, study, and diving deeper into what faith means to them. These Sundays are meant for those who wish to find a deeper connection among their church peers through discussion and common ground. Groups can share lessons, ideas, and understandings of the bible, current events, or common interests which connect them to their faith and relationship with God. We use “Compass” to name these groups because a compass is used to help navigate; like a compass, we hope these groups serve as a tool to help navigate your faith journey!


Our children & youth will be assigned to a “Compass Group” based on their school grade levels.The confirmation students (8th graders) will follow a set schedule of meetings during the Faith Formation hour each Sunday. Please contact Lisa McDowell for more information about our Confirmation program. 


Our young adults & adults have compass groups based on common interests & topics and led by anyone who is interested! Our goal is that each person in our congregation finds a group of people that sparks comfort and joy in their discussions on faith.


If you are interested in leading a Compass Group, please contact Meredith Orel at meredith@svpc.org.

  • Genesis Class

    This class discusses topics relative to today with a scriptural basis. Topics change frequently. The goal is to provide a comfortable and nurturing space for everyone, particularly those who are visiting the church, travel a lot or want to study a variety of different topics and lessons. Discussion is encouraged. Class members volunteer to teach during the year and guest teachers are invited. Location: Room 302 (Session Room)

Location: Room 301 (across from Potts Hall)

  • Bible Class

    For the last 25 years, the Bible Class at SVPC has been dedicated to the study and discussion of the Bible. This class is ideal for people who want to study the Bible in a small class setting. Steve Simmons and Steve Bower have been team teaching the class for more than 20 years. The Bible Class curriculum is supported by the Standard Lesson Quarterly Series studied by Sunday school classes of various denominations nationwide for more than 60 years. The annual curriculum is divided into four quarters with each quarter containing a series of 13 lessons covering scripture in either the Old or New Testaments. We look forward to your joining us.
