PHPC Kids

Growing in Faith

We invite you to come just as you are and be part of this community of children and parents as we seek to grow in God's love together!

What We Believe

A place where all children belong. We believe that children are not just the future of the church, but they are the church now. PHPC Kids creates an environment where children know they are loved just the way they are and equips them to know, grow and shine the light of God! This is a place for all children to discover their gifts, talents, and the Spirit through God's love.

Get Involved

Sundays

Connection Hour (10:00-10:45 a.m.)

PHPC offers a warm and nurturing program that is designed to create excitement in learning about our Christian faith for kids ages 3 through 6th grade. The Growing in Grace and Gratitude curriculum provides the opportunity for children see God’s grace in the biblical narrative and in our world today, and it provides age-appropriate opportunities for responses of gratitude through games, crafts, prayers, and more. Children’s Sunday school will meet on Sunday mornings at 10 a.m. during Connection Hour. PreK-4th grade will meet in the Chapel for music and then head to their classrooms with their teachers. Preschool and 5th-6th grade classes meet in their classrooms.

Worship Foundations

Worship Foundations for Kids is a monthly class during 11 a.m. worship where kids learn about different parts of the worship service and about how they can participate in worship. This class is for kids in PreK-2nd grade. Kids will start the worship service in the Sanctuary with their family and then head to Jubilee F after the Children's Sermon. Children can be picked up from Jubilee F after the worship service concludes.

Nursery and Infants

Children are always welcome in worship, but we do have professional child care available for all children infant through 36 months old. Child care is provided on Sundays during worship and during other programs, as needed. Our nursery is professionally staffed with at least two child care attendants that have been background checked and trained in our Child Care Protective Policy. The nursery is open from 9 a.m. to 12:00 p.m every Sunday.
