Ballston Spa Presbyterian Church is committed to providing a rich variety of programs and opportunities for individuals of all ages to study God's word and grow in the faith.
Christian Education
Long before the beginning of the Sunday School concept, the importance of teaching faith to children was a priority. Moses and the people of Israel were instructed by God to teach his commandments to their children:
"And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down and when you rise."Deuteronomy 6:6-7
Sunday School
Our Sunday School is thought of as a partnership between the congregation and parents.
Our TEACHERS volunteer as caregivers, instructors, mentors, and leaders as groups proceedthrough opportunities to learn and grow in the faith.
PARENTS are encouraged to discuss the lesson and help their children apply it to their lives during the week.
The PASTOR is also a significant member of the team.
We provide many opportunities to experience application of the faith through music, drama, crafts, and mission projects. Lessons recognize and encourage the various learning styles of young people and are developed in ways that engage their senses and interests.
