Children’s Ministry at First Presbyterian Church is dedicated to the education, care and nurture of children from birth through sixth grade.  We place an emphasis on giving children a solid foundation in scripture and spiritual formation through experiential learning in a variety of settings. 

Our Sunday morning nursery offers a warm and loving environment for our youngest congregants; while preschool aged children experience God’s word and love through Bible stories, music and self-expression.  Children in kindergarten through sixth grade are enthusiastic and excited about the River of Faith Rotation Model church school where they get to explore their faith through a multitude of experiences. 

On Sunday’s after church school we offer Harbor Time, a program for k- 5^th graders with a different activity announced weekly.  Tuesday’s E.T.C. programs include children’s choirs, and ALPHA, a fellowship group for 3^rd – ^5th graders.  The Point is a contemporary worship service on Tuesdays at 6:45 that is very inclusive of children.  The night is rounded out with dinner followed by youth and adult study time (7:30 – 9:00).

 A variety of other events and programs are offered throughout the year that are specifically for or inclusive of children.

Bible Sunday – On this special day in the Fall, third graders are presented with their very own Bible embossed with their name.  Each child is paired with a sponsor chosen especially for them by the Christian Education Committee.  The Bible recipients and their sponsors are encouraged to develop a relationship that may last a lifetime.  The gifting of Bibles is a tangible way to pass on the faith story from one generation to the next and continue our commitment to our children made in Baptism.
