Family Ministries
Welcome • Explore • Inspire • Affirm
At CPC, we believe kids of all ages are an essential part of the life of the church. We have spaces for newborns through four year olds in our nursery, a kids’ moment in every worship service, a bustling and vibrant kids’ ministry time for elementary age kids every Sunday morning, Youth Circle bible study during the 10am Community Hour, and Youth Group on Sunday nights from 5:00 – 7:00pm.
Nursery
Ages 0 – 3ish
Childcare for children newborn to around age 3 is available in our Nursery on Sundays from 8:50am-12:10pm — 9:45am-11:15am during summer (beginning Memorial Day weekend).
Little Kids Ministry
Ages 4 – 7ish
Little Kids Ministry children can be dropped off up to ten minutes before the start of worship or the children may begin worship with their family and join the Little Kids Ministry group following the Kids Moment. A Family Ministry volunteer will ensure your child gets to Little Kids’ Ministry. Please remember you will need to pick them up by ten minutes after the worship service.
Kids Ministry
Ages 7 and up
Although they may not be able to fully express it, children have souls that are yearning for God, and it is our goal to help them find and follow after God as they grow. And we have much to learn from our kids, as Jesus quite clearly reminded us. It is our desire that every child experience God-centered programs and activities at our church that will nurture them in developing their faith.
Kids Ministry takes a break in the summer months (beginning Memorial Day weekend).

Youth Ministry
At CPC, we create contexts for teenagers to pursue deeper, more intimate relationships with God. We do this by inviting teenagers to gather in safe and encouraging environments in which they can grow their faith alongside their peers and caring adults and go forth to serve in the name of Christ. From local community service opportunities to mission trips, our students are provided with opportunities to stretch and sharpen their faith and grow into who God has created them to be.
What does a Sunday morning look like?
We offer worship services at 9am & 11am during the school year (one 10am combined service during summer) with something for everyone during and in-between services — what we call Community Hour (not offered in the summer). Our goal is to help you and your family find what you need each Sunday. Whether you choose to worship together, explore one of our programs or do both, children and youth are always welcome in all of our spaces at Christ Presbyterian Church. You decide what works best for your family each Sunday. We are glad you are here!
When you arrive, please visit the check-in station at the main entrance on Gorham Street where someone will greet you and help you learn the options for the day.
10am Combined Summer Worship
Nursery for ages newborn through three year olds (ish).
Little Kids Ministry is designed for ages four to around seven and available between 9:50 – 11:10 during the summer. Kids can be dropped off by their grownups or begin worship with their family and join the Little Kids group following the Kids Moment. A volunteer will ensure your child gets to the right place. Please remember you will need to pick them up by 11:10.
Kids Ministry is designed for children in approximately second through fifth grade. During the summer, instead of Bible Story Time after Kids Moment, all Kids Ministry kids remain in worship. Head to the Emmaus Room in back of sanctuary for activities!
