Kids Come 1st at 2nd

We want you to be the spiritual leaders in your children's lives, and our Children and Family Ministry exists to support and encourage you in that role.

Here at 2nd Presbyterian Church we nurture a safe and fun environment where all kids can discover and experience the vital truths of Jesus.

Elementary Students
Our activities focus on loving and worshipping God with heart, mind, soul, and body, and our Christ-centered curriculum for elementary school kids emphasizes three core truths:

· I can trust God no matter what.

· I should make wise choices.

· I should treat others the way I want to be treated.

Designed with your family in mind, 2nd Street meets on Sunday morning during the 9am and 11am worship services. 2nd Street involves an interactive, high-energy time of worship, skits, and large group teaching. Children discover more in small groups: Roundabout (K-1st), The Fast Lane (2nd-3rd), and Route 45 (4th-5th). Each month, we explore a different Biblical virtue. On Wednesday nights kids learn more about this virtue and Christ-centered teaching and service during M&Ms, Music, and Missions from 6:00-7:30pm.

Nursery and Preschool
On Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings, we offer age-specific programs and childcare for our Nursery and Preschool children in The Park (infants), The Zoo (toddlers), and The Crosswalk (preschool). We focus on the following Biblical truths through age appropriate lessons, worship, and loving care from professional childcare workers and qualified volunteers:

· God made me.

· God loves me.

· Jesus wants to be my friend forever.

· The Bible is a true story about God’s people and His Love.

Serving All Families

Rearing a child takes a supportive community, so if you have a child with special needs, please don’t hesitate to ask us about personalized attention.
