5. What do you have for children and youth?

A: First Presbyterian offers a Sunday School for children of all ages. For kids preschool through 5th grade, we use a curriculum called Bible Quest, an ecumenical curriculum designed to help kids connect with the Bible in such a way that it relates to their lives and life experiences. It illustrates to participants how to live in the world as disciples of Jesus Christ. Our students experience the Bible story through storytelling, drama, music and art. They share their understanding of the story with others and hear how others interpret the story. Then they affirm together their new understandings of the story and celebrate God's presence. This curriculum is designed to give our students a solid biblical foundation. Our children also enjoy Vacation Bible School each summer.

Our youth in grades 6-12 meet on Sunday mornings for topical and current events-based Bible Study. The youth meet for "Fusion" at 3-5 each Sunday night. They have games and recreation, times of fellowship and support, Bible study, discussion on current topics, and mission activities.

We also provide a nursery for all church events, including worship. Our workers undergo background checks, having training in first aid and CPR, and love children.


6. What do people wear to worship?

A: People come to worship wearing whatever feels most comfortable to them. On any given Sunday, you will see men wearing anywhere from coats and ties to jeans and t-shirts. Women wear dresses, pants, or jeans. In the summer, some people even wear shorts.
