Mission

1. To welcome kids and youth into the family of God. This is done by teaching kids and youth the way of Jesus, inviting them to enter into God's story working through history, and equipping parents to act as the primary contributors in their child's spiritual formation.

2. To include kids and youth as full siblings in Christ at LFPPC. This is done by working to create and maintain a congregational culture that empathizes with and prioritizes young people and families in all aspects of the church, and eagerly welcomes, mentors, and includes young people in leadership positions.

3. To partner with parents to support families. This is done in relationship with parents to help families grow stronger by spending time together, connect with other families in the congregation, and aid in any other needs families may experience.

Sunday Mornings

Nursery (0-3yrs)
Our Nursery is located just off the Welcome Center (which is just through the side Sanctuary Doors). Each Sunday there are two wonderful Family Leaders in the Nursery before and during the service to greet you and your children, get you checked in, and have a ton of fun with kids during the service. Parents are welcome to go to the Sanctuary for the service or remain in the Nursery with their kids (there is a TV feed of the service).  Parents can pick their children up at the Nursery after the service. All Family Leaders are vaccinated and have passed a background check.

Godly Play (Preschool-2nd Grade)
Kids Preschool-2nd Grade will begin the service in the Sanctuary with their family. Just after the Passing the Peace (around 10:15a) kids will be invited to follow our Family Leaders down to Godly Play. Godly Play is a Montessori-based, worshipful exploration of the stories of our faith that invited kids to experience, play with, and retell each weeks story. Parents can pick their kids up at the Godly Play room (down the hall off the Welcome Center) after the service. All Family Leaders are vaccinated and have passed a background check.

Exploring Faith (3rd-6th Grade)
Kids 3rd-6th Grade will begin the service in the Sanctuary with their family. Just after the Passing the Peace (around 10:15a) kids will be invited to follow our Family Leaders down to Exploring Faith. Exploring Faith is a fun exploration of what it means to follow Jesus together, where kids will play a game, talk about a story from the Bible, and explore how it relates to our lives today. Parents can pick their kids up at the Exploring Faith room (down the hall off the Welcome Center) after the service. All Family Leaders are vaccinated and have passed a background check.

Youth (6th-12th Grade)
Youth 6th-12th Grade are invited to remain in the service with their families. There is also often a group of 6th-8th graders who sit up in the balcony and all youth are welcome to join them as well. MS Youth Group (6th-8th Grade) meets on Wednesdays from 7:00-8:30p in the Youth Room, and HS Youth Group (9th-12th Grade) meets Sundays from 7:00p-9:00p in the Youth Room.
