CHILDREN

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me..."

Matthew 19:14

Children are an important part of First Presbyterian Church. We partner with families to provide nurturing, meaningful, and enjoyable experiences through which each child can learn of God's love.

First Friends

Self-serve racks in the Narthex hold bulletins for Beginning Readers and Readers. Bulletins provide activities that support the scripture passage and sermon topic.
The goal of First Friends is to create community and long-lasting friendships among the families and children of our church. Each grade level (birth through 5th grade) will be assigned two parent volunteers called First Friends Coordinators. They will plan and invite all families in their grade level to one event each Sunday school quarter throughout the year. These events will be for the whole family so that families can connect and enjoy some fellowship time.
