Children

When disciples blocked the children, Jesus said let them come. When adults shushed the children, Jesus said we all must become like children to get close to the Kingdom of God. The children teach us how to be joyful, curious, excited, forgiving, just as we teach them faith lessons for life.

“The greatest legacy one can pass on to one’s children and grandchildren is not money or other material things accumulated in one’s life, but rather a legacy of character and faith.”
— Billy Graham

Children in Sunday Worship? YES!

At this church, all children (and all of every child) are always welcome for all of worship.

Children enter worship with their families and are welcomed with a play bag of their own. They participate in the songs, readings, creeds, and prayers.

In the middle of worship, children are invited forward to a special lesson with one of our pastors.

Afterward, children may return to their family or go with an adult volunteer to Kids Korner.

Kids Korner is a dedicated space just outside the sanctuary, far enough away from parents so they can relax and focus on worship, but not so far away as to worry parents.

In Kids Korner, the children take about 20 minutes to share a snack, lesson, and craft or game. After Kids Korner, children return to “big worship”.

Summer Camp Experiences

We love to gather the children, grandchildren, friends, and guests of this church to camp together! We know camp experiences can often be the biggest moment of faith in a young persons life.

However you are connected to this church, register your young one(s) at Pecometh.org for either of the camps, and we will help you cover some of the cost!

VBS (Very Best Summer) 2025

K-5th Graders
Mon Aug 11 - Thu Aug 14, 5:00-7:30pm
Sun Aug 17, 9:30am

Each summer, we invite the younger ones of the community and church to come play, learn, and worship together. Our evening VBS program is four nights, later in the summer. We provide dinner, crafts, games, music, and lots of love. Our only goal is to let every child know they are already loved by God now and always will be.

Children - Kids Korner (mid-worship)

Children - Kids Korner (mid-worship)

ALL children are ALWAYS welcome for ALL of worship. When children enter, ushers offer their own worship bulletin AND a worship kit of markers, crayons, and crafts. The first scripture and children’s moment will be led by one of our pastors. Afterward, the children are invited to move to the Kids' Korner, or to return to the pews, at the parent’s option.

Kids Korner time is mid-worship and gives children the opportunity to grow in their knowledge and love of God, self, and others. Our goal is to return the children to “big” worship after about 30 minutes.

The typical timing and flow of Kids Korner is from 9454-1015am:

  • 5 minutes - snack, introductions, and first question

  • 5-10 minutes - questions and discussion on the scripture

  • 10-15 minutes - activity, craft, or embodiment

  • 5 minutes - regather, coins for the offering, sending prayer, and “@ Home” sheet for parents
