Children's Ministries  
(Nursery through 8th Grade)     

"Great is the LORD and most worthy of praise;
his greatness no one can fathom.  
One generation will commend your works to another;
they will tell of your mighty acts.
Psalm 145: 3-4

Children's Ministries is not a program.  Rather it is a journey of discipleship with our children.  PBPC embraces its children physically and spiritually to share with them the amazing love of God.  In play and prayer, reading and reflecting, art and activities, fun and friendship,  the children draw near to the Person of God.

Mission Statement for Children's Ministry at PBPC:  The Children's Ministry of Park Boulevard Presbyterian Church is committed to communicating God's love to children and supporting families in building a spiritual foundation, so their children will come to faith in Christ.

Core values for Children's Ministry at PBPC are

  1. Biblical truth
  2. Family focus
  3. Safety and security
  4. Partnership with parents and others

Children's Sunday school meets Sunday mornings.  Children meet for a kid friendly breakfast at 9:15.  At 9:30, their Sunday school teachers collect them and take them to their lesson time.  Classes run until 10:25, when children are escorted to join their families for the worship service at 10:30.  Questions or to register: call the church office.

Movers & Shakers

Class time includes a short age-appropriate Gospel Light curriculum that provides a variety of activities that help this age group use their curiosity to discover God's presence in their world.  And there is lots of child-directed play and social skill formation.  Hugs abound!
