children's ministry

Leading children to be rooted in Jesus, to grow in His love, and to branch out to serve others.

"go the distance" sports and arts camp

June 23-27, 2025

This year, camp is going to look a little different. Camp will be held right here at First Pres, from 5:30 – 8:00 pm each day. The camp will feature instruction in soccer, cheerleading, flag football, drama, and art for 6 to 12-year-olds; basketball and volleyball for 8 to 12-year-olds.  Four and five-year-olds can participate in Team 45, learning the basic movements of sport.  


We will dig into 2 Timothy 4:7-8 as we share the story of Paul’s life and what it took for him to run the race for Christ and finish strong in spite of the challenges he faced. 


The cost is $20 for the first camper in a family and $15 for each additional child in the family.

Children in Worship

Worship plays a vital role in the discipleship of our children. We feel that attending worship as a family is the best way for children to learn about worship and its many facets. We encourage children aged 5 and older to participate regularly in worship with their families. Please look for the children’s worship bulletins in the back of each worship space. 


Childcare During Worship

Infants, toddlers, and preschoolers through age 5 may go to the nursery in Room E8 at any time. The nursery is staffed by both volunteers and paid nursery assistants. We provide care for newborns through age 5 during the 9:30 and 11 am worship services.
