Current Study - Compassionate Contact

For the rest of the year, we will explore how Jesus’ healing miracles do more than restore bodies – they disrupt social norms, religious authority, and cultural boundaries. These healings provoke tension: between what is expected and what is possible, between systems of exclusion and radical inclusion. These stories challenge us to see disability, illness, or simply difference not as a problem to be fixed but as a site of theological confrontation.

Youth Formation | Danville Youth Connection (DYC)

Danville Youth Connection (DYC) is a shared ministry among Trinity, the Presbyterian Church of Danville, and the First Christian Church in Danville. The mission of DYC is to provide a Christ-centered place for 6th-12th graders to talk, play, pray, serve, support, and grow as disciples with the guidance and care of adults who love them, empowering all for ministry.

DYC meets at 5:30pm when school is in session. The location of each gathering varies by month; locations are available through the newsletter and bulletin.

High School students meet every Wednesday at 7:15am during the school year at Dry Stack for devotions and breakfast.

DYC is a great place to find true friendships, exciting events, and important lessons about life’s challenges. Most importantly, it’s a safe place to connect with a real God who is passionately seeking us! Contact Molly Boyd at The Presbyterian Church of Danville to get involved.
