Sunday mornings for our Kids
FPC offers a Sunday school program for children 3 years old through 5th grade during the fall.
Our nurseries are opne each Sunday morning from 8:45 a.m. – 12:15 p.m.. The early childhood area is located across from the Chez Coffeehouse.
Classes for Preschoolers (ages 3-5)
Early Childhood Area – Preschool Room
Live B.I.G.
Teachers will help children see, hear, and live their Belief in God. This Fall, they will learn about how God created the world; that Jesus is the Messiah, the special one sent by God; that it is good to give thanks; and about Jesus' birth. Songs, singing, and other activities will help reinforce the Bible story each week.
Classes for Elementary (K-5th)
Second floor of the Education Building
Faith Trek
In our new education space, kids will explore the faith journeys of Adam and Eve, Abraham and Sarah, Joseph, and Daniel, and the Disciples. During each three-week unit, children will “rotate” through different learning centers – Abraham's Night Sky Theater, In the Garden Playhouse, Sarah's House, Joseph's Coat of Many Colors Art Room, and (coming soon) Disiples.Net Computer and News Room. They will also have the opportunity to explore Daniel's Den library and check out books and DVD's for use at home.
Immediately following the children’s sermon during worship, children ages 4 years old to those in 2nd grade may leave the sanctuary for the Second Hour class, which includes a Bible story, application DVD, and activities.
Our fall session of Kids' Club for children in 1st – 5th grades begins on Wednesday afternoon, September 23. Kids' Club will meet from 4:00-6:00 p.m. A variety of special, three to four week mini classes (vocal music, chimes, music and movement, puppets, etc.) will be offered.

We are committed to the protection of all children and other persons participating in the activities and programs of First Presbyterian. As part of our congregation’s baptismal vows, we covenant with each other to take responsibility for the nurture of faith. As such, the members of this church have pledged to uphold one another. In the spirit of Christ we teach, strengthen and support the individual’s relationship within the church family. As our baptismal vows imply, we also undertake to preserve the integrity of each person within our church family. First Presbyterian Church is committed to the sanctity of all children. A well-implemented child protection policy not only protects children, but also adults who minister to children. This Child Protection Policy covers any person employed by or volunteering at First Presbyterian Church in any capacity involving children and all outside organizations using First Presbyterian facilities for child programs.
