CHILDREN'S MINISTRY

Jesus really does love all the little children of the world.  Here at First Presbyterian Church we want to teach the children just how much Jesus loves them and how to live in his grace.  Our mission is to provide the best possible care, comfort, guidance and instruction in the word of God for children, parents and their leaders. 

Our children’s ministry is responsible for education time for our children on Sunday morning, Vacation Bible School and our nursery.  

Children’s Activity Time is available to young people age three through fifth grade.  Every Sunday we gather after the children’s sermon to review and discuss the message from that day’s children’s sermon as well as go through our liturgical calendar and color for the season.  We use the “Godly Play” curriculum which covers both Old and New Testament studies. Snacks, crafts and related movies are also utilized as appropriate.  We encourage all to come whenever you can.   The kids love it and always learn something new and grow in their developing faith.

Vacation Bible School is a wonderful week every June where volunteers and our staff come together to help children learn and grow in God’s love.  Each year we select a fun and exciting theme for the week and games and activities center around that theme.  Children entering kindergarten through those entering 6^th grade in the fall are invited to join.  There is no cost.  Parents are encouraged to contribute snacks and goodies for the group throughout the week.  

Free Nursery Care is available every Sunday morning for infants through two years of age.  Our childcare attendants take special care to watch and play with your young ones so you can enjoy the service. 

We rely on gracious volunteers to help in all area of our Children’s ministries.  Volunteers help as leaders for Children’s Activity Time, at Vacation Bible School, and during our annual Pumpkin Patch event.
