Adult Ministries

Life Groups (small fellowship groups).  Interested in being part of an on-going Life Group for Bible study, prayer, and mutual support in faith?  We discover new life in them and discuss life’s questions and issues in the life-giving presence of Jesus Christ.  If you are not connected with a Life Group at the present time, but would like to explore that possibility, or if you wish to discuss, ask questions concerning, or explore the idea of Life Groups, please feel free to talk with Kurt Imbach - 679-3579 or kurt@whidbeypres.org.

Young Adults  Are you early in your journey with Christ?  Do you have questions about who Jesus Christ is and what it means to be a Christian?  Are you interested in discussing those questions with others who have questions?  Are you feeling that you want to do some "growing" in your spiritual life and in your relationship with God?  Do you enjoy restaurants, bowling, camping, BBQ picnics, theater or informal socializing with other people?  Are you single or married or divorced or have children or have no children? 
If so, please join us.  Email the church office for more information or call the church office at 679-3579.

Adult Growth and Ministry: 
Please join us for adult education at 9:30 a.m. in the Blue House.  Additionally, every quarter in the fall, winter and spring we invite members to the foundational Discipleship 201 class where they can learn about and commit themselves to living as Christ’s disciples.  We continue to develop other Discipleship class offerings in Bible studies, Christian faith and living, church history, and contemporary issues.  These are scheduled at various times including one-day “Saturday Seminars” as well as multi-week courses.  During the school year an adult class meets at 11:00 and during the summer at 10:00, both in the Blue House.  For more specific information on these classes check the Weekly Announcements page for more information

Divorce Recovery is a ministry started here at WPC over ten years ago by Melody Young.  People still call searching for help in this area, but currently are turned away.  If you are interested in helping with this ministry please call the church office, 679-3579.

Faithfully Fit is a ministry to those wanting to experience a healthier lifestyle.  The weekly meetings are on Tuesday at Noon in the Blue House.  For more information call the church office, 679-3579.

Presbyterian Women The women’s fellowship at Whidbey Presbyterian Church is open to all women.  Meetings are held the third Thursday of the month at noon in Heritage Hall.  Hostesses serve dessert following a sack lunch.  Several meetings are potluck lunches.  Additional get-togethers are scheduled to work on boutique and mission projects.

  • Morning Bible Study - Our daytime Bible study meets the first Thursday of each month at 10:30 A.M. in Heritage Hall during the school year.  If you have questions, please call the church office - 360-679-3579.

  • Evening Bible Study - The Evening Bible study will meet in the Blue House at 7:00 P.M. in the 2nd Wednesday of each month during the school year.  If you have questions, please call the church office - 360-679-3579.

  • Partnerships - Please save your receipts when you shop at Saar's Marketplace grocery store!  The Presbyterian Women receive a donation  based on the sales receipts we return to them.  Receipts can be placed in the cans at the office and in the Heritage Hall entrance.  The Presbyterian Women fund a significant number of programs with the proceeds from these partnerships, so your support is really appreciated.

  • Programs and Activities are numerous and varied - all-day sewing sessions to make hospital gowns for the overseas missions and colorful fleece quilts for new babies in our congregation, serving “Meals on Wheels” at the Senior Center in October, and at Christmas we share plates of assorted cookies with church members and donate from our hat-mitten-sock tree, hats, gloves, socks and sets of hat-scarf-mittens to the Women-Infant-Children program for distribution.  In November, after months of preparation, a Holiday Boutique/Luncheon/ Silent Auction is held.

    Thinking of Christmas?  Well, Presbyterian Women are.  We will have two boutique workshops the second and fourth Thursday in July (the 8th and 22nd.)  We “work” and chat from 10 am to about 2 pm.  Bring your lunch and ideas or just come and feel crafty. 

We are Presbyterian Women

We Gather
The third Thursday of the month we meet at Noon in Heritage Hall to share either a simple lunch provided by some of our lades or enjoy our own sack lunch.  There's often a special speaker.

We Travel
Every spring we go to the Spring Gathering of the North Puget Sound Presbytery PW.  It's a wonderful time of fellowship and learning about important missions and programs.

We Learn
There are two Bible studies.  The morning study meets at 10:30 a.m. on the first Thursday of every month. The evening Bible study at 7:00 p.m. in the Blue House.

We Serve Others
May is a great month to remember mothers around the world. PW will offer cards to celebrate moms and remind others that you care by sending $10 in their name to buy mosquito netting. These nets protect women and children from malaria. The cards will be available for purchase in the church office the first 2 weeks of May.

Men's Ministry.  The Men’s Breakfast Group meets in Heritage Hall at 7:00 am, Thursday mornings year 'round.  After a hot breakfast, fellowship continues through a short, informal business meeting where current projects are addressed.  For example, the group completes about one micro-mission every three weeks.  Then, Pastor Dave moderates a brisk and often personally insightful Bible Study.  After a period intercessory prayer, the group breaks up about 8:30 am to start the day.
