 Children's Ministries
Our ministries for children and their families offer an active and dynamic time for preschoolers through 5th grade. Children's Ministries are staffed by well-trained, volunteer teachers, who bring engaging, creative energy to their classrooms. Children and their families from our church and community are invited to participate in any of our children's ministry programs.
Children's 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.
Children’s Summer Sunday School
Children’s Summer Sunday School ages preschool through 5th grade will combine for the summer sessions from Sunday June 19-August 21. Children will meet in room 229 for the summer. Please dress your children for summer learning and play!
Vacation Bible School
Each summer, we invite the children of our church and community to an incredible week of Bible stories, arts and crafts, music, recreation and discovery. Children 3 years through 5th grade completed are invited to join us each June for a week of learning and growing in Christ together.

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.
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 Sarah Beth Christie for more information.

Children Worship Too!
Children Worship Too! is a 5-week program available to our Kindergarten and First Grade 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 Sarah Beth Christie for more information.

Nursery MinistrIes
Our Nursery Ministries care for our families' youngest members. Infants, toddlers and pre-Kindergarten children are cared for in spacious, well-staffed and age-appropriately equipped rooms. Care is provided by permanent staff along with assistance from a rotating roster of parent volunteers! We provide a welcoming and caring environment with the consistency of the same, familiar smiles of a staff that faithfully cares for our children year-round.
Care is provided during our 8:30 a.m. worship, 9:45 a.m. Sunday School, 11:00 a.m. worship and special services and programs throughout the year. An information sheet must be filled out for each child.

Splash!, by Augsburg-Fortress publishing, is an educational ministry newsletter that is mailed to our families and children from birth through 3 years. Monthly packets provide invaluable information and support to parents as they minister to their child's physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual development. The monthly Parent Pages offer ideas for faith-filled play, worship, meals, and prayer togeter. The music CDs are a terrific part of Splash! Packs, too! Babies will be lulled to sleep listening to Sleepy Time Tunes, the CD in the 1-12 Months Splash! Pack. Families will get moving to the Bible story songs on Totally Toddler Tunes, the 13-24 month CD. And kids will learn songs they'll hear in Sunday school on the Singable Sunday Tunes CD, the 25-36 month CD. Our Nusery and Preschool Ministries are committed to supporting and partnering with families in nurturing God's children though the Splash! Program.
