Lunch Bunch

We enjoy games, pizza, Bible stories, take-home crafts and service projects. Our first lunch will be September 27th. (Emergency Contact Information must be on file.)

B.K. (Big Kids’) Fellowship

3rd, 4th & 5th graders are invited to attend this fellowship program designed to address their unique needs. Sunday afternoons (new time 12-2pm) are filled with fun, food and fellowship. We enjoy wacky games, lunch (sometimes we even cook our own), Bible study & discussion, take-home crafts and service projects. Our first meeting will be a pool party on Sept. 6th at Miss Laurie’s home, 4:30-6:30 (families are encouraged to join us). (An Emergency Contact Card must be on file.)

Acolytes

4th graders and above are invited to serve as Acolytes. These young people help lead our 11am worship service by bringing the light into the sanctuary as they light the candles and taking it “out into the world" at the conclusion of the service. A training class for all new Acolytes and a parent is scheduled for Sunday, September 20th.

Mission Statement
Central Presbyterian Church strives to provide a safe and positive environment which nurtures the whole child toward a personal relationship with Christ by sharing the gospel and developing life-long, Bible-based, decision-making skills.  Children are given the opportunity to learn about God, praise Him, offer service, and experience His love within our church community. 

“So you must go and make disciples of all nations.  Baptize them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.  Teach them to obey everything I have commanded you.  And you can be sure that I am always with you, to the very end.”
                   Matthew 28:19-20
