Church School (Sunday Morning)
Children in Worship - Children of all ages are always welcome in worship at First Church. John Westerhoff, a leading Christian educator believes that faith is “caught” not “taught.” As children grow in a faith community that welcomes them in worship, study and service, they catch the vision of active and joyous Christian discipleship - a vision for life.
At the 9:30 a.m. worship service children in Grades 1–7 begin the hour in worship with their families. Following our Children's Time, they may go to Church School or return to their pew. Pre-schoolers may begin the hour in worship or go directly to their Live B.I.G. classroom at 9:30 a.m.
Live B.I.G.
Pre-schoolers & Kindergartners. While our two, three, four and five year olds may be small in size, they can Live B.I.G. (Hear, see and live your Belief In God) and get a B.I.G. start on a lifetime of faith through our Sunday morning pre-school and Kindergarten programs. Live B.I.G. includes, videos, stories and activities that help all children create solid faith connections.
Celebration Station
10:30 - 11:30 a.m.
While moms and dads participate in adult education, kids can enjoy their own faith-forming experience. Completely different from Festival and Live BIG, Celebration Station offers something different every week – singing, ringing, storytelling, and more! Activities are designed for children in pre-school and above; child care is available for younger children.
