FPC is blessed to have a growing children’s program. Through worship, education, fellowship, and music, children at First Presbyterian Church are taught how much they are valued by God and the people of this congregation. All of our children’s programs follow the guidelines listed in our Child Protection Policy.

Listed here are a few of the many opportunities for children at First Presbyterian Church:

Children’s Sermon

During the Sunday worship service, children are given a special opportunity to gather on the chancel steps and hear a sermon that is designed especially for them.

Worship Bags

At FPC we understand that little hands and minds might need extra assistance during worship. In the narthex, parents and children will find “Worship Bags” filled with crayons, books, and papers designed to assist children, as well as parents, in enjoying the worship service.

Childcare During Worship

While children are welcome in all of the worship services at FPC, we realize that sitting through an entire worship service can be challenging for our youngest friends, not to mention their parents! Each week following the Children’s Sermon, childcare is provided for children kindergarten age and younger. Just meet at the back of the sanctuary and someone will show you where to go.

Sunday School

Sunday Mornings at 9:00 am
Our children are currently divided into two age appropriate classes and are greeted and led by loving, trained teachers. The teachers, music leaders and assistants communicate Christ’s love to each child through music, crafts, and Bible stories.

Nursery

FPC is happy to provide a safe, loving enviroment for our youngest members and friends. Well-trained caregivers provide attention to infants and toddlers during worship, Sunday School, and other church events.

First Friday - Parent's Evening Out

Play and activities for children in a fun/safe environment the first Friday of each month, while parents have an “evening out” to shop, do errands, watch a movie, or just relax.

All members who volunteer with children and youth activities are required to complete Child Protection Training.

2020 Vacation Bible School (VBS) Day Camp

Vacation Bible School Day Camp will not be offered on June 15-19, due to uncertainty about lifting COVID-19 Stay at Home guidelines. We will announce alternative faith and fellowship activities/gatherings for children and families this summer, once we learn more about ongoing guidelines. Stay tuned for more information.

The Presbyterian Women are very active at FPC. We have one circle that meets on the first Wednesday of each month at 9:30 a.m. We have another circle that meets in the evenings at 6:30 p.m. on the second Thursday of each month, in the Library.

As a general rule, FPC sends a good group to the Women's Conference at Mo-Ranch.
 

Presbyterian Men's Fellowship

The Presbyterian Men's Fellowship meets on the first and third Saturdays of each month, in room 111A. The lesson is led by members and there is time for fellowship.

This year, many men of the church will be attending the Men's Conference at Mo-Ranch.
