When a child is baptized in our church, the congregation promises in the name of the whole Church of Jesus Christ to help the parent’s undertaker the Christian nurture of their child. One of the primary ways we do that is through our Sunday morning educational program. From their very earliest days being loved and cared for by our nursery staff until they go out from this place to live out Christ’s purpose for their life, First Presbyterian seeks to develop and foster faith in our children and youth that will equip them for a lifetime of service to God. We find this to be a joyful and fun filled adventure as we journey together. Join us Sundays at 9:40, everyone is welcome!
Nursery
Our crib nursery is available for early worship, during the Sunday school hour, and during the 10:55am worship service. Our loving staff will take excellent care of your child and make sure their first experience of the church is a great one.
Children’s Classes
Beginning September 12 our children’s classes will begin the fall semester. We have four different classes for 3year olds though 5th grade. All classes meet on the second floor of the Smith Center and use the Live B.I.G. curriculum. Live B.I.G. helps children see, hear and live their belief In God.
Middle School
Our middle school class will be taking on powerful ideas of faith and theology using the re:form curriculum. Centered on questions youth actually ask about their faith, re;form empowers youth to tackle the powerful ideas of faith and theology through innovative resources that encourage exploration and discovery. We will encounter a concept from the historic Christian faith. Then we will interact with each other, exploring our faith in creative ways. Finally youth will learn to present their point of view. Join us for this exciting journey!
Senior High
God is love. Crazy, relentless all-powerful love. Francis Chan suggests the answer to religious complacency isn’t working harder at a list of do’s and don’ts — it’s falling in love with God. And once you encounter His love, you will never be the same. What do you think? Let’s find out as we read and discuss his book Crazy Love. Each week we will watch a chapter video and discuss the chapter we have read that week. Along the way we will seek our own crazy love of God.
