Walk With Jesus is an exciting, multi-sensory Easter event where parents and children travel in Jesus' footsteps during his final week on earth. Families will journey to Jerusalem for Palm Sunday and the Last Supper, gather in the Garden of Gethsemane, discover the sacrifice of Good Friday, and celebrate the freedom found at the Empty Tomb. Join us April 21st during the Sunday School hour.

The Early Childhood and Elementary children at First Pres are creating a foundation of faith that last a lifetime! First Pres Kids will study through the entire Bible over the next 3 years using the Faithweaver Now curriculum. We are thrilled to be coordinating with the Student Ministry so that all ages, from birth through high school, are learning the same Bible point each week. Pastor Howard plans to schedule some of his sermons to tie into the topics our students are studying! In this way, we aim to partner with families and help unite them in placing God and the study of His Word at the center of their lives.
Be sure to start at the Check-In Kiosk when you arrive in the First Pres Kids Ministry! It is our desire to keep your children safe while they are in our care. Please click here for more information on the check-in system. Please go to the nursery desk and ask Debbie for assistance if you are new to the check-in kiosks!
