CHILDREN'S 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.
