                                                                             Children's Church
Children's Church is available during both the 9:00 and 11:15 a.m. Sunday worship services to give children a special opportunity to learn about and worship God in age-appropriate activities. There are two separate classes - one for 2- & 3-year-olds and one for children age 4 through kindergarten.  Children in first grade attend a Worship Orientation in the fall to help them adjust to participating in a regular church service so they begin adapting to worship at an early age as described in the Book of Order.

Nursery
First Presbyterian Church provides a caring and safe "home away from home" environment for your children. Nursery care is available during all worship services and most activities. The nursery rooms are located in rooms 171 and 168. For your child's safety, children must be registered with the nursery attendant during each visit. On-site pagers are issued to parents each time their children are in the nursery in case of emergencies.

Parents' Morning Out (infants & preschool age only)
Our Parents' Morning Out program for church members is held Tuesdays from 9:00 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. Parents should provide snacks and a lunch for their child. We ask for a $5 donation per family to help defray costs.

Parents' Night Out
Parents can drop off their infant-5th grade kids to have a night out! Kids will have fun and games and fellowship with other kids.

Sunday School
Children's Sunday School is held from 10:00 until 11:00 for ages 2-5th grade. Classes are arranged by age group and use a lectionary-based curriculum called, "Seasons of the Spirit," which integrates worship and education.

Worship Orientation Classes
Classes are offered each Sunday in September for children in first grade during the 11:15 a.m. worship service to teach them about various elements of our worship services.

W.O.W. Classes
W.O.W.classes, held each Wednesday afternoon  mid-August through May, help children learn the basic tenants of the Christian faith in fun and engaging ways.

Childrens Choirs
Various choirs are available for children. Rehearsals are held on Wednesday afternoons. For more details, click here.

Did You Know?

Each infant born into our First Presbyterian Church family receives a children's book of prayers.

When a child is baptized at FPC, we send the family a special book called The Baptism of Your Child that describes the baptism process, why it is important, and has places for all the family attending the baptism to sign their names.
