In order to truly welcome children into this faith community and embrace them on their spiritual journey: Every Summer Sunday at the 10:00 a.m. worship service, all children grades K-5 will begin worship with BLINK. All children will be invited up front for a brief "children's moment" and remain in worship with their families for the entire hour.


Historically, as Presbyterians, we are committed to education. Church School classes are provided on Sundays at 10:00 a.m. as part of a ministry that is:

  • Biblically grounded

  • Historically informed

  • Communally nurtured

  • Socially engaged

  • Ecumenically involved

While our program varies according to age group, each graded class has a curriculum that is enriched by worship, study of the Bible and theology, and music and visual arts. Great care is taken to see that each program is specifically designed to address the spiritual needs of children at their appropriate developmental stage, and to lay a foundation in terms of both cognitive learning and the formation of a faith community.

As a service to parents staying for both worship and educational opportunities, "Art at 11" (fun and crafts for ages 3 and up, Education Building, Room 201).

Childcare is available for infants and toddlers on Sundays from:

  • 8:15 a.m.-12:15 p.m. September to June

  • 7:45 a.m.-11:15 a.m. during the summer (Father's Day weekend through Labor Day weekend)

Special events and programs include:

  • Bible Story Books for 1st graders

  • Bibles for 3rd graders

  • Hymnals for fifth graders

  • Casserole preparation for the hungry

  • Mission focus

  • Special Children's Chapel services with children participating

  • Education on stewardship of time, talent, and resources
