Help Us Update Your Kids' Records
Designed for kids Kinder-5th Grade, First Pres Kids is a dynamic discipleship ministry designed to engage our children in worship, Word, and prayer on Sunday mornings.
Our 10:10 Discipleship Hour is a time for our Bible lesson and classroom activities to reinforce our lesson for each individual grade group. Children will gather in our Children’s Ministry room for Bible Story time and then be dismissed to grade level classes, where parents will pick
them up at 11:00 a.m. Before sure to get a nametag from one of the check-in kiosks around the church.
During either the 9:00 or 11:10 worship services, Kinder-3rd grade children will attend the first part of the worship service with their parents, and then exit the Sanctuary together to have a time of children's worship with music and activities, as well as fellowship time. Children will be picked up by parents in the gym. During worship services, PreK-4 and K-3 will go to the Pre-K area and younger children can go to the nursery for age-appropriate lessons and activities.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out to Debbie Gainer, our Director of Children’s Ministries, with any questions.

If your first through fifth graders have siblings in the PreK-4 or Kindergarten class, we will send them to the youngest child’s class so that all of your children will be in one place for pick up.

Sunday Children's Message
Sundays | 9:00 a.m. or 11:10 a.m.
Just like Christ called all children to Himself, we spend time each Sunday morning during our 9:15 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. services teaching children to draw near to God. The children’s message will focus on that day’s Bible lesson at First Pres Kids. We're always looking for members of our congregation to help deliver these messages, so if you'd like to help, contact or sign-up below.
