At WPC, our priority is to be a welcoming and nurturing environment for our children as they grow and discover their faith.
Sunday School for grades K-5 happens during our worship hour. We don’t just listen to a Bible story - we experience it through art, music, science, and imagination. Children are encouraged to sit with their families in the sanctuary for the start of the service before they head to Sunday School.
Childcare is offered for infants through four-year-olds each Sunday morning. Our experienced, certified, and livescanned providers create a safe, nurturing, and enriching place for our youngest children.
Throughout the year, our children have the opportunity to engage their faith and lead the congregation in worship - through musical productions (sometimes written by our youth!), a Christmas pageant, and more.
Children are encouraged to use their gifts to help others too! Opportunities include making “manna bags” with needed items for the unhoused, participating in beach clean-ups, writing cards for our home-bound, and more.
Fellowship is a need for grown-ups too! Events for the whole family are offered throughout the year, from informal “pizza on the playground” after church, to big parties like our annual Easter Egg Hunt, and Trunk or Treat at Halloween. Parents are also encouraged to try on for size activities like our Softball Team, where children can watch from the stands.
