At Westminster, we take vows every time a child is baptized. Our goal with children and family ministry here at WPC is to walk alongside children and their parents to nurture faith holistically.

Here's what to expect here at Westminster on a Sunday:

Nursery:

• Children 4 and under are more than welcome to join in worship. We also have a nursery available for the duration of the service staffed with approved volunteers. The nursery runs from 9:30 am-noon.

Sunday School:

• Children up to 5th grade are welcome to attend Sunday School which runs from 9:30-10:45 am. (6th graders as of Labor Day can attend Youth Sunday School downstairs)

Jr. Church:

• Children 4 through 2nd grade are dismissed to Jr. Church (formerly Praise and Play) after the announcements in the 11:00 service.
• During Jr. Church, children will sing songs and hear stories about Jesus, play outside, have a snack and enjoy time with each other and their volunteers for the week.
• After the service, children can be picked up either from the playground or at the preschool wing on a rainy day.

For our children’s ministry, we are having a fall kick-off for Kingdom Kids this coming Wednesday, September 11th, from 5:30-7:00 p.m. There will be pizza and games! Parents are welcome to stay and hang out or have a time away. To help with our head count, please register at Church Center. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Jennifer Boyd at jennifer@wpc-clt.org.
