A wonderful beginning (or continuation!) of your child’s spiritual growth. Each week we submerge into our faith journey through community, teaching, and discussion. We strive to ensure our lessons are relevant, meaningful, and provide a way to connect children to the Word of God.

Midweek

Grades K – 5 | Wednesdays from 4:15 – 6:00 PM | PARISH House

Join us Wednesdays for fun, fellowship, music, and crafts. A great way to break up the week and cultivate your child’s connection to God and fellow Sunday School friends. You also have the option to stay for our All-Church Dinner afterwards!

Youth programs

Grade 6 through High School

We’re excited to share the opportunities available for the older students at our church! Our programs are designed to help teens grow in their faith, build strong relationships and confidence, and develop leadership skills. From worship to community service projects and fun social events, our goal is to equip your teens with the tools they need to navigate life’s challenges while deepening their relationship with Christ. 

Vacation Bible School (VBS)

June 21 – 25, 2027 | Parish House

Kids experience a week-long, fun-filled adventure, exploring Bible stories, engaging in creative activities, and making new friends. With games, crafts, music, and more, it’s the perfect opportunity for children to learn about God’s love in a vibrant and interactive way. Don’t miss out on this unforgettable experience!

Nursery School

Ages 2.5 – 5 | PARISH HOUSE

The primary goal of our Nursery School is to serve children and families by offering a nurturing and stimulating atmosphere for young children. We offer the children an opportunity for emotional, physical, intellectual, social and spiritual development in a Christian environment.

music

Music is a common language that people all around the world can understand. At PCM, we love to sing and play instruments to express our joy and love for each other and for God. We invite your child to come and explore music with us!

Singers and Ringers | Grade K – 5

Each Wednesday afternoon, our children have exciting musical training and fun Christian education during our Midweek Program. The Bel Melodia (K-2) and Bel Canto (3-5) Choirs sing and ring handbells each week in rehearsal and lead music at our 10:00 am worship service monthly, as well as on special days such as Christmas and Easter. Each year we have Music Sunday in May that is a celebration of all our musical groups from children through adults.

Sunday School Music | Age 2 – Grade 5

Children through fifth grade enjoy music as part of their Sunday School class. They will learn songs and hymns to share at worship services.

Music Fun!

Is your child interested in learning the fundamentals of music? Then consider this their invitation to join Music Fun: an energetic and engaging class where they can explore music through play, movement, and hands-on learning. Each week, children build rhythm skills through interactive games like Mystery Rhythm while experimenting with a variety of instruments, including drums, rhythm sticks, bells, and glockenspiels. Music Fun is filled with laughter, creativity, and plenty of movement as children discover the joy of making music together.

Mom Squad

Monthly | Varying locations

Moms' group

We’re a bunch of moms who meet up once a month to laugh, vent, swap stories, and remind each other that we’re doing just fine. No pressure, no perfect parenting — just real talk and good vibes.

Our next meetup is coming up soon — come join us! Bring your chaos, your coffee, your dry shampoo… we don’t judge.
