         The goal of the Inquirers' Class of St. Patrick Presbyterian Church is to present a forum where anyone can feel comfortable asking questions about our church. By asking questions, it is our hope that one may become familiar with our philosophy of ministry and our vision for the future of our community, our nation, and the world. We also hope to provide an opportunity for people to become acquainted with each other and build relationships with those in our communion including the staff and elders of St. Patrick.
           The class is five hours of material that we attempt to cover in five sessions - Sundays during the Sunday school hour and Wednesday evenings during the Wednesday Night Ministry time. Some of the topics covered include: an explanation of the gospel and a gospel-driven church; the centrality of the gospel; what we believe; the relationship of the Bible to the Westminster Confession of Faith; doctrinal distinctions of Presbyterianism; belonging to the family; and how to become a member of St. Patrick. Questions are encouraged and may be asked during any session, or may be submitted in writing to be answered during the next session, or may be asked of the pastor privately.
          We encourage you to prayerfully consider attending the Inquirers' Class where you will see first hand what St. Patrick Church stands for and how you can become a part of this ministry

        The next class is five hours of material that we will cover in two weeks on Sunday & Wednesday evenings.  We will meet Sun. Feb 19, Wed. Feb 13, Sun. Feb 17, and Wed. Feb 20. Please RSVP the church office (861-3803) and let us know if you would like to attend and if childcare is needed.   If you want to attend the class, please call Kendall at 861-3803 or Kendall@StPatrickPres.com.
