“Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them for the kingdom belongs to such as these.”  Matthew 19:14

Children are important to us at NPC! Children need to learn about Jesus and be equipped to live in today's world from their parents first. We are committed to assisting families in connecting their children with God through a relationship with Jesus Christ. We strive to provide curriculum, educational activities and events that are accessible, creative, fun, relevant, and have real-life application. If you have questions about any NPC ministry for children, contact the church secretary, or if visiting us, ask one of our greeters to help you find the right program.

Children's Church

Children's Church offers an alternative worship experience during the 11:00 am service for children, age 3 through 6 (1st grade), who are not ready to sit through "big church".  At the start of each worship service they are invited to join the other children at the front of the sanctuary for a short sermon.  The children then move to the Children's Church room for the remainder of the  service where they enjoy Bible stories, crafts, and other activites. 

Worship Preparation Class for Second Graders

Moving into “Big Church” can be scary for some second graders because it is full of long prayers, big words, and lots of ups and downs. Therefore, every fall we offer a six-week Worship Preparation Class for second graders to help these future leaders of the church feel more at home in the Sanctuary.   We take them through each part of the worship service to help them understand the importance and significance of each movement.  We want our children to take an active role in our worship and this class gives them the information and confidence they need to fully participate.

• Who:  All Second Graders
• Where:  Adult 1 Sunday School Classroom, Room 132
• When:  Following the Children’s sermon during the 10:55 worship service
• There is no cost to participate in the class
