Children and Historic First Presbyterian Church:
At Historic First Presbyterian Church, we affirm that God lovingly created all children, and faithfully abides in them. We want our church to be a place where children experience in special ways the God who is with them every day, in every place. We also want Historic First Presbyterian Church to be a place where children discover what it means for them, as children, to live in God’s way of compassion and justice as Jesus did.
Spark Bible Study:
9:45-10:30
3 year olds-6th graders
The children meet together as one class to learn and share a Bible story. By using the Spark Activate Faith curriculum the children participate in activities and crafts which bring the Bible stories to life.
This is an exciting curriculum which you may read more about by visiting http://www.activatefaith.org/
* There is no Spark Bible Study on the first Sunday of the month. All children are encouraged to stay in worship for the entire service in order to experience how we celebrate our faith as a community of God. The children will also have the opportunity to take communion along with the congregation at this time.

Our teams meet January-March every Sunday 11:00-1:00 as well as a few Saturdays.
