MINISTRY PROGRAMS
Sunday School
Our Children's Sunday School is the foundation
of our Children's Ministry. Each Sunday,
beginning at 9:45 a.m., classes are offered
for 3 year olds through 5th grade. Using
the Presbyterian curriculum, We Believe,
children experience age-appropriate Bible
stories, engaging activities, music and
much more! Our beautiful education space
allows for additional opportunities for
growing in faith through our well-equipped
classrooms, computer lab and cinema room.
Grade-level teaching teams create a welcoming
space for children to learn, question and
grow in their faith.
Kid's Club
Wednesday nights are Family Nights at First
Presbyterian Church. Families of one or
ten are invited to participate in the fellowship
and educational opportunities provided.
Beginning with a catered meal at 5:30 p.m., classes for the entire family are offered from 6:30 – 7:30 p.m. Fellowship Dinners is available for our adults and offers a variety of classes such as Bible studies, parenting, marriage enrichment and more. Children, ages K5 – 5th grade, are invited to participate in Kid’s Club -- an exciting mid-week program that offers a “camp-like” atmosphere of recreation, music, arts & crafts and of course Bible Stories!
Childcare is offered for children 4 years and younger for families participating in our Wednesday evening programs. Registration is required. Registration forms may be downloaded (see Fellowship Dinners on our website) and either mailed or faxed to the church office. No registration fee is required for Kid's Club. Class terms are offered each fall and spring. For more information, contact Sarah Christie. Please see the “Fellowship Dinners” section for dates and class information.
Bedtime Bible Buddies
Available once each quarter, Bedtime Bible
Buddies is offered to our preschool children
and their families in our John Knox classroom.
This inviting space provides an opportunity
for preschoolers and their parents to come
dressed in their pj's, bring their blankets
and favorite stuffed animals for a time
of puppet shows, music and Bible stories.
Juice and cookies are provided as a "bedtime
snack" following the age-appropriate
30-minute program. Please watch our newsletter,
First Press, for dates and times.
Children Worship Too!
Children Worship Too! is a 5-week program
available to our Kindergarten children and
their parents. As children graduate
from nursery care to worship participation,
this program supports, educates and prepares
families to worship together. Classes are
available each fall prior to Advent. Interested
families may contact the Director of Christian
Education for registration and program information. For more information, contact Sarah Christie.
Learning to Use My Bible
Learning to Use My Bible is a 5-week
program for our 3rd grade children to introduce
them to basics of using their Bibles! This
engaging age-appropriate class is an exciting
class full of games and activities that
equip our children to confidently use their
Bibles for study and worship. Personalized
Bibles are presented to our 3rd graders
during worship at the beginning of the program.
Learning to Use My Bible is offered
each fall prior to Advent. Interested families
may contact the Director of Christian Education
for more details and registration. For more information, contact Sarah Christie.
Worship Bags
Worship bags are available for our elementary
aged children as a support to their participation
in worship. Age appropriate bulletins, a
children's Bible, and other worship aids
are offered in each bag. Worship bags are
available in the Narthex of the sanctuary.
Children may pick up their worship bags
prior to worship and return them to the
Narthex at the conclusion of worship. We
hope you find these bags a welcoming and
supportive means of engaging your child
in worship.
