Wonderful things are happening for our kids at First Presbyterian Church and we hope that your children will join us!
First Presbyterian understands that kids need to learn to worship before they are expected to sit with their parents in the Worship Service. Therefore, we have created a program that is as unique as our kids are. From September- May of each year, the children attend the 11:00 worship service on Sunday with their parents, participate in the Children’s Moment and then are released for Children’s Church. Preschool and Elementary students will go to the downstairs preschool room for an extension lesson based upon the Children’ Moment. Babies and toddlers right into the nursery.
We also understand the importance of connecting Sunday School, Children’s Church, Chapel time, and “JAM” Jesus and Me (formally known as Choir and Crafts) so the children are getting the most out of each story in the Bible. But not every child learns in the same manner so we balance our activities to include crafts, cooking, music, games, stories, movies, etc.
Here is what the schedule looks like through the school year from September-May. During the summer months, the children are welcome to worship with you during either church service. The nursery is always available.

Children’s Church takes place on Sunday’s during the regular service. If you are interested in becoming one of the “teachers” for this amazing program please contact the church office.
It takes amazing parents on a rotation basis to make this program a success. All information for the lesson will be given to you ahead of time so that you can pull all of the materials together in plenty of time.
