Children

Our goal is for children to come to know God’s presence in their lives and to be assured that they are cherished and cared for as beloved children of God.

Vacation Bible School 2024

Vacation Bible School 2024

July 8 - 11

9:00AM - 12:00PM
Ages 4 years - rising 5th grade

Join us this summer for four days of Vacation Bible School fun. Our theme this year is "God Rocks." Children will learn lessons from the Bible told through rock scenes in the Old and New Testaments. Each day, we'll learn about Jesus, sing songs, make crafts, play games, and share popsicles on the playground. This is a great time for children to grow in their faith during the summer!

Registration is not required. For questions, email 

Children's Faith Formation

Children’s Ministries serves disciples ages 4 years through 5th grade with weekly faith formation opportunities during morning and evening worship services. There are two age group offerings: 4-years-old through 2nd grade, and 3rd grade through 5th grade. Faith formation is taught by Children’s Ministry pastors and staff, supported by faithful volunteers. No registration is required.

Curriculum

The Children's Ministry uses the PC(USA)'s curriculum, "Follow Me: Biblical Practices for Faithful Living." This curriculum is based on practices Jesus did and taught us to do as faithful followers. It examines where these practices are found in the Bible and how they have been used in Christian faith then and now.

Our littlest disciples will use "Play-n-Worship: Play-Along Stories for Preschoolers." They'll toss bouncy balls in the air to make rain for Noah's Ark. They'll clang building blocks together to make thunder and learn how God calms a storm. They'll hug and hold baby dolls and hear about God's great care for them!

Children's Chapel

During Sunday Worship, after The Time For Young Disciples, children, ages 3 to 5th grade, leave the sanctuary and go to the chapel, where they sing, pray, and explore scripture. Weather permitting, they can be picked up from the playground.

Wonderful Wednesdays

Join us during the Fall for Wonderful Wednesdays: a six-week program designed to hone our children’s talents and interest in the creative and performing arts. This program for 4-year-olds through 5th grade will culminate in our children sharing their talents in worship on November 12. Registration for this program is required, and our $25 fee will cover art supplies, a t-shirt, and snacks and fellowship.
