How do we have fun together? How do we nurture and support one another? With a church membership of about 1000, we are intentional about providing ways and means of getting to know one another. First Presbyterian seeks to do that by offering these and other programs.
LOGOS
LOGOS is a Wednesday evening program held during the school year for children ages 4 through 6th grade. LOGOS, “The Word” is a chance for children to be discipled in four ways: through fun and recreation with Christian leaders and other children; through learning Worship Skills and leading in Worship; through Family Fellowship---Dinner and recreation; through Bible Study. (Logos Registration Form)
CIA (Christians in Action)
CIA is our youth group for students in 7th-12th grade. Trips, retreats, Bible studies and weekly meetings all contribute to build Christian community within this group. The junior and senior high youth meet 5:45 PM every Sunday in the gym. They will share a meal together as well as go on the annual ski trip and mission trip together. Friends are always welcome!
SPORTS AND RECREATION PROGRAMS
Church sponsored baseball (softball, t-ball, etc.) teams for boys and girls of many ages are available during the spring and summer months.
BOY SCOUTS
First Presbyterian sponsors one of the oldest Boy Scout troops in Fort Smith. Troop #23 meets each Monday in the Family Center.
CUB SCOUTS

MISSION PROGRAM FOR AT-RISK YOUTH

PARENTS AND YOUNG ADULTS
FRIDAY NIGHT OUT - Each 2nd Friday of the month we host a Friday Night Out for parents in the church, neighbors, and friends. Nursery staff and child care volunteers will care for your children while you get a chance to go out! Contact the church office (783-8919) to make a reservation.
FAMILY NIGHT DINNERS
Speaking of food... We Presbyterians do love to eat! Family Night Dinners are held periodically throughout the year and are sometimes in conjunction with other major events such as the Gutensohn Lectures and other Christian Education programs.
YOUNG ADULTS
This is a fellowship group with a wide age range to cover people who are either young or "young at heart." It is comprised mostly of young adults (single and married) in their 20's, 30's and 40's. Activities are planned throughout the year to promote Christian fellowship. It is a great way for new members to begin new friendships and for other members to strengthen existing relationships
ALPHA Group (Older Adults)
Our ALPHA's are adults over 55 who still enjoy life and seek to get the most out of it. They meet regularly on the third Thursday of each month for Bible study, a catered meal, and a program of interest. This group also takes out of town trips to interesting locations such as museums, plays, factories, good restaurants, and conferences.

MEN'S PRAYER BREAKFAST
A diverse group of guys meet every Thursday morning of the year, except on holidays, for a time of fellowship, devotional and prayer. The men share the responsibility of cooking and of leading the devotions. It only costs $2.00 per person, with one dollar going toward the sponsorship of needy children at the Lincoln Day Care Center here in Fort Smith.
