First Kids​

Our kids work hard to live out First Church's mission as well! 
"SHINING Christ's Light on Main Street and Beyond..."
​Every Sunday morning, our children meet on the first floor for a large group gathering in the SHINE Room! We then divide up into age-appropriate groups to dive deeper into the week's lesson using interactive and engaging small-group style activities!

Kids at First Church can often be found worshiping and singing songs, learning new Bible stories, and engaging in hands-on applications of Jesus' teachings! Our team of passionate and energetic volunteers strive to provide a safe and enjoyable environment where our children can grow and learn how to follow Jesus and share Christ's Light!

Children's Church

Picture
During the 9 am & 11:00 am service, all children are invited to come to sit at the altar for Children's Time to hear a kid-geared Bible lesson from one of our amazing adult leaders!

After Children’s Time, all children ages 4 through 5th Grade will be invited to go with our adult volunteers to the SHINE Room for the duration of the service. This program has activities, crafts, storytelling, and more as they learn, on their level, about Jesus and the church.

Parents may pick up your child on the first floor, in the SHINE Room after the 9:00am and 11:00 am service.
