About Our Ministries & Programs
Our Ministries
Adult Education
We are all ministers of our faith. Christ has entrusted us with the responsibility (stewardship) to practice Christianity now, here and everywhere. We can’t do this without a deep understanding of His teachings as they apply in our world, 2000 years later. As such, Christianity is an active, proactive, and growing faith.
Our Pastor–led programs include:
- Theology on Tap
- Weekly Bible Study
- Men’s Bible Study & Breakfast
In addition to our Pastor-led programs we also also have several Member-led programs.

Care & Support
As a compassionate, caring, faith community, we realize that there will be times in our lives where problems and circumstances seem overwhelming. No one should go through pain and struggle alone. Please read more and discover how we can help.

Children’s Ministry
The Presbyterian Church of Barrington’s Children’s Ministry Programs provide children and families opportunities to grow in their faith through programming based in Biblical teachings, fellowship and service.
The Milestones Ministry recognizes important steps in the life of faith:
- To provide children with information and experiences as they grow in faith;
- To equip parents to be involved in the Christian Education of their children;
- To recognize and celebrate milestone events with the congregation;
- To assist the congregation in fulfilling the vows made at baptism to “help you know and follow Jesus Christ.”
See all the programs we have for children.

Stephen Ministry
Presbyterian Church of Barrington will be training another class of Stephen Ministers beginning in 2018. Stephen Ministers work alongside our pastors to care, encourage, and provide emotional and spiritual support to people who are going through a difficult time, such as divorce, grief, hospitalization, unemployment, terminal illness, relocation, chronic illness, or loneliness.

Stephen Ministry is a not-for-profit Christian Educational organization based in St. Louis, Missouri. Our congregation’s Stephen Ministry program has been active in this church for the last 14 years. Our Stephen Leaders equip lay people to provide one-to-one Christian Care to people in our congregation and community who are experiencing difficulties in their lives.
