We think attending church is an important part of developing faith in kids, which is why we have classes and activities every Sunday morning for children of all ages. Our primary goal is that the children who call First Pres home begin to know God, both in their hearts and minds, laying the foundation for a deeper faith to develop as they grow.
Nursery care for infants through 3-year-olds is provided starting at 8:45am. Children age 4 through Grade 5 join their families for worship in the sanctuary with the congregation. After a brief Children's Message early in the service, children can meet their teachers in Fellowship Hall to transition to Sunday School.
Join other families in Herron Lounge, right outside Fellowship Hall and the coffee bar. This space is set up with activities for kids of all ages, giving their grown-ups a chance to talk and enjoy a cup of coffee.
Nursery care for infants through 3-year-olds is provided starting at 10:30am. Children age 4 and older join their families for worship in the sanctuary with the congregation. Children are invited to gather in the Chapel during the sermon, where they hear and play with their own lesson. Children rejoin their families in the sanctuary after the sermon to finish worshipping together.
Periodically we have special occasions (such as Communion Sundays) when we want children to more fully participate in the worship service. On those days, we don’t hold Sunday School as usual during the 9:00 hour. Instead we ask children to stay with their families until the sermon, when they join together outside the Sanctuary for a short lesson. They return to their families after the sermon to finish worshipping together.

This program is designed for elementary-aged kids to learn about the injustices of the world and consider, through the lens of their faith, how kids and people of all ages can respond.
We don’t just talk to our kids about loving their neighbors – we help them actually do it! Watch the bulletin and our weekly e-newsletter for information on periodic service projects for kids.
Every summer we take time to dive deep into building up our kids and their faith. VBS 2026 will take place the week of July 20-25. Registration is opening soon!
