First Pres is committed to teaching and ministering to children of all ages and their families.  From birth through childhood, our goal is to guide children through the Bible and walk with them as they experience God for themselves. We desire to partner with parents to provide a holistic ministry to kids.

Every time a child comes to First Pres, they are taught that they are LOVED: by their families, by their church, and by their savior Jesus Christ.

Nursery Care: Nursery Care is available for children birth-2 years old during all three Sunday morning hours (9:00am-Noon). Our nursery room is equipped with books, toys, and activities that we hope will make children feel right at home.

11:00 am: The 11:00 hour currently offers one Sunday School class for PreK-5th grade students. Parents may check in their children on the sign-in sheet at the Children’s Ministry table (located in the Fellowship Hall) prior to the start of service. We ask kids to sit with their parents in the sanctuary for the first 15 minutes of the worship service. After the Children’s Sermon, they will be invited to follow their teachers to the classroom. In each class, the Bible story is told in an interactive way, and there are an assortment of crafts and games that retell and emphasize the Bible story. We ask parents to pick up all students in their classroom immediately after the service. Classrooms are located on the main floor in classrooms 1 and 2.

Safety and Security: Your child’s safety is very important to us.  Our Children’s Ministry teachers and volunteers have undergone background checks, first aid, and CPR training. COVID precautions are in place. We ask that parents fill out a registration form, including any allergies or medical concerns so that we can best care for your child. We will also use this information to contact-trace any COVID related issues.
