Pinnacle Presbyterian Church: Children's Programs

http://www.pinnaclepres.com/children.html

Church School

Pinnacle Presbyterian Church offers a warm and nurturing program that is designed to create excitement in learning about our Christian faith. Participants, 3 years through adult explore the Bible, beliefs and Christian ethics through hands-on activities, which include music, storytelling, drama, kinesthetic movement, cooking art, geography and discussion. This is accomplished with the help of clergy and volunteers who believe that God calls us to pass the excitement and energy of our faith to the next generation. Our learning community is also strengthened by family fellowship events and opportunities to connect our faith to specific acts of service in the church and community.

Church school is held each Sunday following the Children's Sermon in the 10 a.m. service.

Register your children for Church School or Club Wed! using the online form or by downloading a PDF registration form and mailing it to the Church Office.
