MINISTRY

Children are just as important as any other congregant. We minister to them and their families so they can grow in the love of Christ and, Lord willing, know Him all their years. We believe that a solid, Biblical foundation is integral to the life of any church, and therefore we offer a Sunday School program that is intended to help people of all ages grow in their knowledge and love of God and their familiarity with His Word. Sunday School and worship services at First Scots are a wonderful aid in discipleship and will give our children the tools needed in order to grow their faith. For children, we offer four Sunday School classes…Preschool, kindergarden-2nd grade, 3rd-5th grade and 6th-8th grade.

We are delighted for little ones to join us in worship! If they need to stretch their legs or lungs during the service, parents are free to use the Worshipers in Training (WIT) room or the nursery.

Children age 3 and under are invited to attend nursery for both Sunday School and worship, where they can play and learn under the care of nursery leaders.

On the 2nd and 4th Sundays, at 6pm, all 6th-12th grade students are welcome to join us for dinner, games, a lesson from Scripture and some great fellowship!

We typically offer two Sunday School classes for adults. High School students are welcomed in our adult Sunday School classes. These classes are held in the sanctuary and/or fellowship hall.

Morning and evening Bible studies are available throughout the week. These are great opportunities to dive deeper into God’s word, while also growing alongside men and women of the church. The Women's Morning Bible Study meets on Wednesday at 9:30am and the Women's Evening Bible Study meets Thursday at 6:30pm. The Men's Bible Study meets on Tuesday at Noon.

Prayer is one of the primary means of grace our Lord has given us. Each of our worship services incorporates numerous prayers – including the Lord’s Prayer, which we recite and pray as a congregation.
Additionally, our membership is sent a weekly list of prayer concerns within our congregation – and throughout our community, nation, and world – that they might pray about throughout the week in their personal and family prayer time. Each Wednesday evening, we gather at 6pm in the fellowship hall for a weekly prayer service. This time includes a devotional, discussion of prayer concerns impacting the church, community, and members, and a time of prayer.

Lunch Bunch - All are welcome to join friends from First Scots to enjoy lunch and fellowship together each month at a local restaurant. The location is announced a few weeks in advance to allow people to sign-up for this.
Women's Fellowship - Women in the church meet throughout the year to enjoy fellowship and a meal together.
Third Sunday Fellowship Meal - on the 3rd Sunday of each month we join together after the morning service to share a potluck meal and enjoy the company of others. All are welcome.

First Scots’ Book Ministry enables our congregation to purchase solid Christian literature at deeply discounted prices. Alongside the teaching of the Word, these books can supplement your learning and be great tools on your Christian walk. Christian education through sound, quality books is a blessing to our members and visitors alike.
Located adjacent to the office, First Scots offers a free Library with excellent Christian books and resources for all ages to use.
