Sunday School

Ages 2 – 5th Grade | Sundays from 8:45 – 9:45 AM |
Howard House

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.

Bibles and breakfast

Ages 5th, 6th, and 7th grade | Sundays from 8:45 – 9:45 AM | Howard House

This isn’t your typical Sunday school — it’s a fun, interactive discussion group where we dive into the Bible, play games, and engage in activities that bring scripture to life. Together, pre-teens can explore how following Christ empowers us to make a real impact in our community. Encourage your kids to come and see what’s in store—it’s going to be an amazing year!

Midweek

Ages K – 5th Grade | 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 have the option to stay for our All-Church Dinner afterwards!

Youth programs

8th Grade  & High School Students 

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 2025 | Registration Coming Soon!

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 Years | 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 | K – 5th grade

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.

Voice for life program | 3RD – 5TH Grade

We are an affiliate member of the Royal School of Church Music America and use the Voice for Life curriculum for choir and music training. Students in grades 3-5 are paired with an adult musical mentor who works with them individually each week as they learn about music and how to use their voices. After completing one of the five levels of training, each musician is awarded a medal for their achievement. We are blessed with kind, knowledgeable adult musicians who look forward to working with your child!

Sunday School Music | AgeS 2 – 5th grade

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

Jacob Montgomery directs our children’s choirs and would love to meet you and talk more about our music program.
