FirstKIDS Programming
First Church believes that all children are deeply spiritual beings capable of having deep relationships with God. Children are important to Jesus, not only as students to be taught, but also as teachers of those in their circle. First Church strives to raise our children up in the faith, equipping them to be Salt & Light.
Through all of our children’s programming at First Church, we use the A Time For Children model for growing our younger disciples, as originated by Rev. Dr. Leanne Hadley. At the core of this teaching model, children are taught that they are true blessings from God, blessed to be a blessing to all they meet. In addition, we strive to always connect with the heart of God, not just learn about God.
Our
Grace program is made up of children in grades Kindergarten through 5th grade. Grace meets monthly between Labor Day and Memorial Day, usually on one Saturday evening a month, with a few exceptions. All elementary school children are welcome - church membership is not a requirement! Grace does several mission projects throughout the year.
