Children & Family Ministries

There is no greater privilege – or responsibility – we have as a church than to help families navigate life’s challenges. Through our mutual support of one another, we grow in our faith and find creative ways to pass it on to the next generation.

Our combined Nursery and Pre-K class is available each Sunday throughout the program year for infants, toddlers and children not yet in Kindergarten. The Nursery is open at 9:45 am so parents may drop off their youngest children before heading upstairs for worship. Our Nursery is staffed by a professional childcare provider with additional help from church volunteers when needed. In addition to active play, short and simple lessons are provided for Pre-K aged children. The Nursery is equipped with a changing table, pack n’ play, and various age-appropriate toys.

Through hands-on learning, games, activities and small group discussions, our curriculum provides elementary age children with opportunities to grow in their faith. Each fall, the church hosts a Communion Workshop to introduce grades 2 and up to the Sacrament of Communion. Third Graders receive Engraved Bibles at the beginning of the program year and are available upon request for any child who does not have one.

The church hosts a variety of special events, service opportunities, and fellowship time during the year specifically for children and families. This year’s programming will include Midweek Fellowship, Parents Night Out, Movie Nights, and more. Additional information and upcoming events may be found on our Family Events Calendar, as well as registration. We look forward to meeting you and spending time with your family.

VBS is a highlight of the summer for many PCCT families, providing an opportunity to discover more about God’s love. Participants will be welcomed to fun and exciting activities filled with friends, art, music, mission, and creative play.

Children will make new friends and build social skills as they participate in fun, meaningful activities. The program is open to children three years old (by January 31) through those completing 5^th grade.

Summer of 2025, we have hosted separate nights of fellowship as we transition to new leadership in our Youth and Family Ministries. We look forward to planning a fun week of fellowship in the Summer of 2026, and more information will be sent out as it is available.

Middle and high school youth are invited to sign up as volunteers, as are parents and interested adults.
