EARLY CHILDHOOD

A foundation of faith for little ones, from birth to Age 4, is established through programs and activities designed to nurture and support young families. Life-long friendships are cultivated through Bible studies, parenting classes, and fellowship opportunities.

SUNDAY SCHOOL

Sunday School classes for 2, 3, and 4 year old children led by those who impart their faith and love of God.

CHILDCARE

Loving childcare is provided for infants, toddlers, and young children by staff who have undergone child protection training and background checks.

PRESCHOOL BIBLE TIME

Preschool Bible Time is for 3 and 4 year old children on Wednesdays, after their Angel Notes choir.

SEABROOK PLAYGROUND

Seabrook Playground is a wonderland of enjoyment for preschool aged children. It is newly constructed, age-appropriate equipment with safety in mind.

NEW BABY MINISTRY

This ministry welcomes all babies born into our congregation with a rosebud from the worship service, a cradle cross, and an informational folder delivered by young moms to the family home.

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Throughout the year, activities engage both children (5K – 5th Grade) and their families to deepen their faith in Jesus Christ. A focus upon building Christian relationships develops through time together playing, singing, learning about worship, studying Scripture, and praying together.

SUNDAY WORSHIP

Bring your children — all ages are welcome — and join us for worship. If you prefer, you may entrust your children (birth to 4 years) to our nursery caregivers who have undergone child protection training and background checks.

SUNDAY SCHOOL

Sunday School classes (K-5th Grade) use Cokesbury’s Deep Blue Curriculum that is a comprehensive Bible study for children, incorporating the pillar stories of the Old and New Testaments using different modalities of learning in age-appropriate ways.

CHILDREN’S SUNDAY

Children’s Sunday provides an opportunity for the children of the church to unite the prayers for worship and then assist in leading all four worships services on Children’s Sabbath. In addition to celebrating the children of our church family, Children’s Ministries also collects a special offering that offsets background check expenses for our caregivers and teachers.

FIRST GRADE WORSHIP

First Grade Worship is a six-week program designed for our first graders to learn the different components of worship and the basic elements of the sacraments. Our prayer is that they will continue to worship with their families and attend Sunday School weekly.

THIRD GRADE BIBLES

Third Grade Bibles are presented to all of our third graders during a special worship service. As the children learn about the Bible in Sunday School, we pray that God will open their hearts and minds to the stories of Scripture and that they will be reminded of His incredible love for them. Through their reading, we hope the children, and their families, will be blessed and strengthened as disciples of God.

LOGOS

LOGOS is the theology and practice of inter-generational Christian relationships in a disciplined, mid week, four-part context for elementary children. Together we play, sing, study Scripture, eat and pray. All of these activities combined provide a foundation to grow together in faith. Wednesday nights.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The safety of the children in our care is incredibly important to us.

CHILD PROTECTION TRAINING WITH BACKGROUND CHECKS

We have a child protection policy and training that all of our volunteers go through in order to work with our children and youth.  We also require a background check on all volunteers as well.

CHECK-IN/PICK-UP PROCEDURE

We have a check in system that requires all children and youth to wear a name tag with emergency contact information. At pick up, parents must have the matching tag with the matching number to pick up their child.

MEDIA CHILD PROTECTION POLICY

When your child registers for any event, you have the option to permit MPPC to use your child’s likeness or to decline. Learn more from our Media Child Protection Policy.
