Faith Formations for Children Through 5th Grade
Children are a vital part of our FPCA community! Honoring the promises made at baptism, we offer faith formation and music education, worship, fellowship, play, and service opportunities for children and families to be nurtured in their faith.
Godly Play
Beginning at age 3, and continuing through the 5th grade, the children of FPCA are invited to join age-appropriate Godly Play classrooms during the 9:45 am faith formation hour.
Godly Play is a Montessori-based method of faith formation that recognizes that all children have an innate sense of the presence of God. The Godly Play method moves through the liturgical year, modeling worship, religious language, symbols, and rituals of the Christian congregation.
Using beautiful story-telling materials, open-ended wondering questions, and creative response materials, children come close to God and one another as they experience a caring community of faith together.
Nursery Care
Nursery care is available for children, usually ages 0-5, during Sunday morning worship services and the faith formation hour.
Nursery care is also available during other special services and programs. Our caregivers are loving and familiar faces to our families.
Our nursery staff has received CPR and child safety training. Nursery is from 8:30 am until 12:30 in rooms 102 & 103.
FPCA Child and Youth Protection Policy
The safety of children and youth is important at FPCA.
Our Child and Youth Protection policy provides for background checks for staff and volunteers, and training in safety and best practices.
Children’s Choir
There are two choirs for children at FPCA.
Choir is offered for children in grades K-6. Children are invited to have dinner with their families on Wednesdays from 5:00-5:45 in the Fellowship Hall.
Choir rehearsals begin at 5:30 in the music room, and at 5:45 the children are split into Beginning Choir (K-2) and Junior Choristers (3-6). Children learn about faith, worship, music literacy, and how to use the hymnal, and have access to our collection of drums and rhythm instruments, chimes and bells, and Orff instruments. Rehearsals run from September through early May, and these groups sing at the 11:00a.m. service several times throughout the program year.
