Elementary Youth

Sunday School

Children pre-K through Grade 5 are always welcome to remain in worship with their families on Sunday mornings. Activity bags are available for children who remain in the sanctuary during worship. Ask and usher for assistance. Special Sunday School opportunities are offered in specific seasons of the church year. The first one is for the season of Lent, beginning on Sunday, February 22 and running through May 24. Children are invited to leave worship during the Greeting Time and gather in the back of the sanctuary, where teachers will lead them to the Presbyterian Youth Fellowship Room, located on the second floor. The lessons are led by volunteer teachers and assistants each Sunday. In Sunday School, we learn through stories and activities. We will meet parents in Fellowship Hall at the conclusion of worship at 10:30.

Wonder-Full Wednesday

Wonder-Full Wednesday Wonder-Full Wednesdays happen each week from 5:30 – 7:00. This event is designed as a playing and learning evening for children pre-K to Grade 5. We invite youngsters to join us in the gym for some games, then spend some time learning about the church, the faith, and the Bible through fun stories, crafts, and activities. Children bring a sandwich and a water bottle. A snack/dessert is provided. Children enter the gym through the McCarty Street entrance and meet parents at 7:00 in Fellowship Hall. The final date for Wonder0Full Wednesday this spring will be February 11. Some special activities will be available during the spring months. The leaders of the group are Marilyn Hoffman, Cynthia Quetsch, and Kelvin Beza.

Vacation Bible School

July 6 – 10, 2026 8:15 am to 11:15 am

Our congregation comes together for an exciting week of Vacation Bible School for Pre-K through 5th grade each summer! This year’s program is under the direction of Desiree Dunn, who teaches in our Pre-School program as director of the Imagination Station and serves with her husband, J.P. Dunn, in The Journey youth program. Teachers for VBS are qualified adults who have a love for Jesus in their hearts and want to share it with our children. We are inviting children and adult volunteers from other downtown churches to join us in VBS this summer. This year’s theme is True North. The children will be taking an Alaskan adventure where the northern lights shine over majestic mountains, racing rivers, and sparkling glaciers. As they trek the tundra, they’ll discover how easy it is to lose sight of what’s true in our wild world today. True North VBS reveals that Jesus is a faithful friend we can always trust in our world and on our journeys. He is our True North!
