Church Groups

Sunday School —
There are several classes to choose from for the adults. They are Julia B. Sledge Class, Anne Coker Class, Pathfinders Class and the Open Forum Class. All Sunday school classes meet at 9:45 am.

Julia B. Sledge Class - TThis is our longest running Sunday School class and our largest multiage group. Mrs. Julia B. Sledge was a long time Sunday school teacher and member of our congregation. This class is named in her honor for her many years of services. This group uses "The Present Word" Presbyterian curriculum. This class builds community through supporting a family in need and having "out to eat" times during the holiday seasons.

Open Forum Class - This class is built on open dialogue between teachers and students. This class meets in the multi-purpose room and looks at different topics as each teacher brings their gifts to the study of books of the Bible and current events. They also use video and DVD with some of their curriculum. The Open Forum class also gets together for dinner and holiday parties.

Anne Coker Class - This class is named after one of our beloved members. Anne Coker was a Sunday school teacher, women's leader, mother and pastor's wife. This class is comprised of teachers and students with a passion for learning and pushing themselves through study. They are our most loyal group of students averaging over 75% of their membership in class each Sunday. They are currently studying the 23rd Psalm.

Pathfinders - This class started out as the Young Adult Class. We have matured into a group of primarily couples (age's upper 30's to 50's) with preschool to high school aged children as well as couples without children. This class makes time for sharing each week through their study. Teachers review books with the class and come to a join decision on what is studied.

Another group that developed from this group is the Seekers. This group meets once a month in a member's home or restaurant for fellowship. This has helped our group support each other and grow stronger in our faith walk.

The Seekers group also has an annual marriage retreat in the fall/winter. We come together to enrich our marriages and recommit ourselves to our spouses and support each other.

Men of the Church —
The Men of the Church meet every 3rd Wednesday night. They participate in several different activities and events around the church. This includes monthly meetings, fundraisers, softball. At the monthly meetings they have guest speakers and lots of fellowship. They also help meet church needs, which include working on the grounds, help members out they may need work done around their house and cannot do themselves.

Presbyterian Women —
The Presbyterian Women are broken down into 5 circles:

Circle of Mary and Martha – meets third Tuesday of each month at 7:30 pm. This circle usually meets at a member's house.
Circle of Lydia – meets first Wednesday of each month at 7:30 pm. This circle usually meets at a member's house.
Wednesday Morning Circle – meets first Wednesday of each month at 10:00 am. This circle usually meets at the church
Saturday Morning Circle – meets the second Saturday of each month at 10:00 am. This circle usually meets at a member's house.

The circles will join together twice a year for a Christmas party and at the end of the year in May for a Birthday Bash.

Youth Groups —
We offer several youth groups. We have Children's Ministry (ages 3 - 5th grade), Middle School Youth and High School Youth. The youth groups meet every Wednesday at 6:30 pm for dinner and class at 7:00 - 8:00 pm. Children's Ministry meets the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month. Children's Ministry meets at 6:00 for the children's choir practice, 6:30 for dinner and class at 7:00 to 8:00. All the groups do several service projects as well as getting together for fun activities.

Pleasant Hill Presbyterian Chancel Choir —
Pleasant Hill Chancel Choir is a unique group of musicians. We meet once a week, on Thursday evenings at 7:00 pm, to be together. We call it "practice", but in actuality, it is more of a fellowship of diverse music makers that love the Lord and have come to love each other in a very special way. The Pleasant Hill Presbyterian Chancel Choir is a family.

Missions and Outreach —
The church participates in several missions. They are Habitat for Humanity, The Barnabas Center, Food Pantry, Crisis Assistance Ministry, Helping Hands and 5 cents a meal. There are also several foreign missions we support, India, Kazakhastan, Mexico and Kenya.
