First United Presbyterian Church has Sunday school with Bible study, song, and activities for children at 10:00 every Sunday morning during the school year. These classes will begin on September 8, 2024. In July and August we will have The Gathering, an intergenerational time to help create and strengthen connections within the church.
We have two Spiritual Growth opportunities for children:
- Joy-us is for 3 years through 2nd grade.
- God’s Gardners is for grades 3-5
We also have offerings for youth.

Children and Families
At a child’s baptism, our congregation promises to support and nurture a child in the development of his or her faith. At First United Presbyterian, we are committed to honoring this baptismal covenant in the way we nurture and guide the faith development of our children and their families.
First United Presbyterian Children and Family Ministry offers a foundation for spiritual formation, opportunities for worship leadership, experience serving others, and the resources to continue faith-filled conversations at home. Infants through 6th graders and their families, from both our church and community, are invited to participate in all of our children’s programs. Middle school youth in 5th and 6th grades are also invited to participate in youth ministry programming.
Director of Christian Education, Kristi Button, M.A., C.C.E., is the director of FUPC Children’s Ministry.
