Our Commitment to Families
At Westminster, we make a meaningful commitment each time a child is baptized. Our goal in children and family ministry at WPC is to walk alongside children and their parents, nurturing faith in a holistic and supportive environment.
What to expect on Sundays
Here's what to expect here at Westminster on a Sunday:
- Welcoming Worship: All children are warmly welcomed in worship. We celebrate the coos of babies, the curious questions of children, and even the occasional cries!
- Quiet Space: For mothers seeking a peaceful moment, a Quiet Space is available behind the small chapel.
- Children's Resources: Worship bags and bulletins for children can be found at the children’s table at the entrance to help engage them during the service.
Nursery:
- Our nursery is open from 9:30 AM to noon and includes qualified staff and volunteers who provide a safe and nurturing environment for children ages 3 and under.
- Please note, for toddlers-4 year olds staying for both Sunday school and worship we provide puffs and pirate booty as snacks. Please let us know if that is a concern.
Sunday School:
- Children aged 3 to 5th grade can participate in Sunday School, which is organized by age groups and utilizes the Dwell Bible Curriculum. Classes run from 9:30 to 10:45 AM. (6th graders as of Labor Day may join Youth Sunday School downstairs.)
Jr. Church:
- During the 11:00 AM service, children aged 4 through 2nd grade are invited to come forward for prayer and to follow the green banner to Jr. Church (formerly known as Praise and Play).
- In Jr. Church, children will enjoy engaging Bible stories and participate in fun outdoor fellowship activities.
- After the service, children can be picked up from designated rooms. Our Hall Monitor and staff are available to assist you as needed.
