When You Visit
About Children and their Families Ministries
At First Presbyterian Church, we want every family to feel welcome, and to know we are glad you are here! Please let us know if this is your first visit. If you have questions, we're happy to answer them for you. Children's classrooms are located in the Christian Education Building on the west side of the church. You can enter at the west entrance or from the south entrance. The nursery and Early Childhood classrooms are on the first floor, and the Elementary classrooms are on the second floor. There is no dress code. You'll see our members dressed from very casual to traditional "Sunday" clothing. Summers are usually even more casual!
A Typical Sunday Morning Schedule
8:30 a.m. Service
A nursery is provided for young children. Families worship in the sanctuary until around 9:30 a.m.
9:45 a.m. Sunday School (All Ages)
Early Childhood (classrooms are located on the first floor) is divided by development and age. Groups include: Infants, Crawlers, Toddlers, Preschool, Pre-kindergarten and Kindergarten. While children begin in groups appropriate to their developmental age, as they grow, they move into the same age groups they'll be with as a student in the public school system.
Elementary (classrooms are located on the second floor) is divided by grade level from 1st through 5th grade. Elementary students enjoy a rotational curriculum model during the school year, and an alternative during the summer months.
11:00 a.m. Service
Worship begins with music and announcements, then there is a children's message. During the children's message, children are invited to go to the front of the church and sit on the steps. If it would make your child feel more comfortable, you may go up front or they may sit with you. After the children's message, younger children are escorted to their own special Children's Worship in Big City Studio.
12:00 p.m. - 12:15 p.m. Worship Ends
Parents pick up children from Fellowship Hall and from the Nursery.
