At Vanderbilt Presbyterian Church, we believe that every individual is on a journey towards the discovery of faith. At whatever point you find yourself, we invite you to join us in making Christian education a vital part of your life’s path.

Throughout the year, we offer classes, lectures and fellowship events for members of our church and community. Programs are designed to communicate excitement in Christian education and to encourage people to gather together in joy as they grow together in Christian faith.

We will approach this Bible Study by focusing on the passage of Scripture on which the Pastor will be preaching the following week. Participants are encouraged to read the passage before coming to class, to pray about it and seek understanding and meaning. What is God saying to us through this passage of Scripture? Participants are encouraged to write down questions raised in their minds and to bring those questions with them to class.

Our goal is to increase excitement for the study of Scripture as well as to create an interesting conversation focused on the Scriptures and contemporary life. It should be interesting to hear from each participant what he or she thinks a passage means, what question it raises in their minds and what is heard in the sermon after studying that passage and hearing it preached. The Men’s Bible Study meets Tuesday morning at 9am October through April.

Led by Pastor Marrow, this group gathers for a casual discussion of the Scripture passage to be examined during worship on the following week. Open to all.

“Friends of Faith” is a caring group of women who support one another through study, prayer and friendship as we explore God’s word together.

The group will resume on July 14 with a very special summer session and continue through November 10. Meetings are held via Zoom on the 2nd & 4th Wednesdays of each month from 10:00-11:30am. All ladies are welcome to come read and discuss “Into the Light: Finding Hope Through Prayers of Lament” by P. Lynn Miller.  Please let us know if you are interested by contacting Barbara Bonavita at (239) 597-5410 or [email protected].

Vanderbilt Presbyterian Church has a rich history of Presbyterian Women’s Circles. VPC’s circles nurture each member’s faith through prayer & Bible study, support the mission of the church locally and worldwide, and promote a warm and caring community of women that strengthens each individual as well as the church as a whole.

Being a member of a Circle is a wonderful way to be connected to the church and experience the warm fellowship and support of other dedicated Christian women. For more info, contact Karen Schulz, 239-353-7380
