Mission Statement
The Church Sunday School program seeks to instill the knowledge and love of Jesus Christ through scripture, prayer and the nurturing guidance of the Church. We teach our children skills that help them live according to Jesus’ teachings, such as “Love one another as yourself”. We encourage appreciation of the diversity among all God’s children and the wonder of all of God’s creation. We want our children and youth to know and experience God’s unconditional love and acceptance here at Westminster and beyond.
Sunday Schedule
Sunday School gathers at the 10 am service. Children are invited into the sanctuary with their parents. Early in the service children are invited up for a Children’s message for the whole congregation to enjoy. Following the Children’s message children and youth are escorted to Sunday School. Preschool through 3rd graders gather for singing before breaking up into classes. 4th and 5th graders go directly to class.
Joyful Noise Choir
Singing for children takes place following the Children's message in the sanctuary and before the Sunday school lesson begins.
Nursery Care
Westminster offers loveing Nursery Care during both worship services and Sunday school, from 8:30-11:30am. There is a dedicated and consistent staff, reliable and caring, for ages infant to 3 years old.
