Children's Programs - "Where Kids Go to Know Jesus and Grow to Show Jesus"
Welcome to the exciting world of Children's Ministries at First Presbyterian Church
Recent research by the Barna Research Group, Ltd shows that if a person does not accept Jesus Christ as savior before the age of 14, the likelihood of him/her ever doing so is marginal. It goes on to state, "the years prior to age 12 are when a majority of children make their decision as to whether or not they will follow Christ" (www.barna.org). Wow! This makes ministry to children all that more important.
While physical growth and learning are important aspects of a person, spiritual growth is also crucial. We believe church and home are important in providing the strong foundation upon which children build their Christian faith. First Presbyterian Church provides a variety of activities from formal classroom instruction and junior church, to fun events – all designed to help our children grow as God intended.
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.” At First Presbyterian Church we believe every child should have the opportunity to participate in the body of Christ. We hope you and your family will make an effort to discover all First Presbyterian has to offer. Our dedicated teachers and staff work hard to go that extra mile to make our ministry to children something exciting and spiritual.
