Pillar Two
Accepting the call to be Christ's disciples in all of life — for every age and stage of faith.
Following Jesus isn't a moment — it's a long, sometimes uneven, always shared walk. The classes, studies, and gatherings below are how we travel that road together at YPPC.
Sundays at 9:45 a.m.
Classes start before worship and run through the school year. Whether you're four years old or eighty, there's a class for you.
Classes for every age — children, youth, and adults — meeting each Sunday at 9:45 a.m. before worship.
Classes are organized by age:
Classrooms are clearly marked. If you’re not sure where to go on your first Sunday, just ask anyone in the lobby.
Going deeper
Spaces for adults who want to take the next step with scripture, prayer, and the company of other disciples.
An adult study that previews the upcoming Sunday's scripture passage and prepares the heart for worship.
Sermon Starter meets Monday mornings at 10:30 a.m. Open to anyone interested in going deeper with the week’s text — no prior study background required.
Fellowship, study, and service for women of YPPC. Two active circles meet so a schedule works for most members.
One circle meets in the morning and one in the evening. Circles study together through the year and host the Ladies’ Brunches and other women’s ministry events.
Beyond Sunday
Some of the most important formation at YPPC happens around tables, on porches, and in the parking lot after the oyster roast. These are the gatherings that knit the church together.
Multi-generational service projects that put whole families to work together.
Periodic projects organized through the year — past examples include food-pantry workdays, packing days for partner ministries, and seasonal mission projects in the neighborhood.
Occasional Sunday afternoons gathering YPPC families for low-key fellowship outside of worship.
Hosted a few times each year. Past Sundays have included picnics, games, and seasonal gatherings. Watch the weekly update for the next date.
A Lowcountry oyster roast each fall — one of YPPC's biggest fellowship gatherings of the year.
Local oysters, plenty of sides, and good conversation. Open to the whole church family and friends. Watch the weekly update for the date and how to RSVP.
Seasonal brunches for women of YPPC and their guests, hosted by Presbyterian Women.
A relaxed morning of food, conversation, and short devotionals. Held a few times each year — a great low-pressure way for new women in the congregation to meet others.
Walking the church year
We mark time the way the church always has — through Advent, Lent, Easter, and Pentecost. Some of our most formative weeks are these.
Special programs and services through the four weeks of Advent leading up to Christmas.
Includes the Children’s Christmas Pageant, additional worship services, and special music — woven through the season so the rhythm of Advent shapes our life together.
Most folks find their footing in Sunday School and one other ministry. Pick whichever fits your season — then see where God leads.
