Sunday School

All children are welcome to join Sunday School during the 10:00am worship service. Children dismiss from the sanctuary following a brief children's message at the beginning of the service. Nursery care is provided for our youngest children each Sunday morning.

Preschoolers

3 and 4 year olds
Children learn Bible stories through a unique storytelling experience that brings stories alive before their eyes. The age-appropriate lessons from "Young Children and Worship" use all of the children's senses to help develop understanding of what it means to experience and worship God.

Kindergarten and First Graders

As children begin to develop reading and writing skills, children learn Bible stories through activities, crafts, games and more using the "Spark" curriculum. Children's faith is activated through "Leaflet" activity pages to help children connect their understanding of God with the real world.

Second and Third Graders

Building upon prior knowledge of Bible stories, children continue developing their faith experience and knowledge using the "Spark" curriculum. Third graders receive their own personal copy of God's word each Fall as a commitment of WPC's promise to nurture young children in the Christian life.

Fourth and Fifth Graders

Older children continue to deepen in their faith with the "Spark" curriculum. They interreact with the Bible in every lesson helping kids navigate the story and begin to compare what they learn to their own life. On the first Sunday of each month, 4th and 5th graders stay in the sanctuary during Sunday School so they may partake in Communion.

Children in worship

WPC welcomes all children to participate in worship. From scripture readings, to children's messages, to singing songs learned at Tuesday Nights Together, there are many opportunities for your child to be involved in our worship services. During Lent, children process in on Palm Sunday with the "waving of the palms" parade. During Advent, children perform in an annual Christmas pageant.
