Children

In keeping with our larger church's mission, the Children's Ministry at First Presbyterian Church desires to restore people and rebuild places as we nurture our covenant children, equip our parents, and reach unchurched children and 
parents with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

In Catechism Class, children review and recite the Westminster Shorter Catechism with the goal of memorizing a set of the questions each year. The doctrines of the reformed faith are beautifully scattered throughout the entirety of the Bible.
