Children's ministry is an opportunity to disciple young lives—to get them ready for life as followers of Jesus Christ. The Children's Ministry has selected Great Commission Publications curriculum for our lessons.
GCP's Sunday school curriculum disciples children by rooting them firmly in God's Word. If you would like more information regarding GCP, you may go to http://www.gcp.org/.
The elementary program is divided into three groups of children, based on their school grades.
The children learn about God's promises.
The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off –
for all whom the Lord our God will call. Acts 2:39

elementary classrooms are located in Cornerstone Village on the second floor of the Education Building and are open during the following programs as

The focus in these classes shifts to a deeper understanding of
the Bible as well as the Catechism. Students are taught
Biblical principles and learn
to apply these truths to their lives.
In the 5th and 6th grades, teachers begin to prepare
children for the changes that will take place when they move
into the Youth Program. Being part of
the church and of God's family is stressed since many of these
children will join the church during
this time in their lives.
We believe
that small group discipleship and accountability is an important
component of Christian growth, therefore, we consider a child’s involvement in Sunday School
and Catechism when interviewing children for membership at First
Presbyterian Church.

and recite the confessions they have learned.
The catechism we use covers the following key Biblical doctrines:

The doctrines of grace, sin and salvation.
