Romans 12: 2-4 says, “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”
FPC Transforms is our Adult Christian Education program for Sunday mornings. It seeks to equip all of our members, from college-aged through our senior congregants, with quality Sunday morning classes that will be part of the transformation process as our church endeavors to, “make more people, more like Christ.”

“Lament” Taught by Hannah Cohen in the CLC Auditorium.
How does the book of Lamentations help us become better friends to those who are struggling? In what ways does the book of Job offer comfort in the midst of chaos? How does reciting the Psalms and gathering in worship feed our souls even when we’re struggling with doubt? The Biblical pattern of lament holds incredible value in helping us live fully, honestly, and even hopefully, in a broken world, cultivating a deeper relationship with God even while struggling with questions. Through scripture, stories from personal experience, and various liturgical forms, we will explore how this often overlooked practice is incredibly redemptive in our lives both individually and as a faith community.
