Our mission for our children's ministry is to teach the next generation so they will know and treasure Christ. We desire to see lives transformed by Jesus and for children to become committed followers of Him. We believe this will happen as we prayerfully and faithfully teach children God's Word and lovingly proclaim the gospel.
"We will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, His power, and the wonders He has done."
Psalm 78:4b

Health and Safety Matters
Concerning background screenings
Every volunteer that serves with our children are required to have a background screening through MinistrySafe Partners and are given the Sexual Abuse Training. We have a wonderful bunch of volunteers who serve the Lord by serving with our precious ones.
Concerning COVID, Colds and Flu
We can all agree that COVID has changed the way we do things in kids' ministry. Please keep your child at home if they are not feeling well. We have hand sanitizer available throughout the area. Be assured that after every room is used, every flat surface and all toys are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized so that we can provide a safe environment for our children.

Nextgen kids Wednesday nights January 7 - April 29, 2026
6:15 - 7:15 p.m.
As our NextGen Kids Mission Statement reads, teaching the next generation of kids so they will know and treasure Christ is at the center of everything we do for kids at PGFirst. Fundamental to accomplishing this mission is teaching kids how their relationship with God can be restored through Jesus Christ, and how they can grow in relationship with God and His people as they study God's Word.
This year our first-fifth grade kids are going through "Created to Love God and Others" curriculum. This curriculum focuses on being in relationship with God and from that relationship, growing in love toward others. Our preschool-kindergarten class will continue with The Gospel Project curriculum, which teaches through the meta narrative of Scripture over the course of three years. They will hear the same story as was taught on Sunday morning to help them learn it well. Additionally, we will offer childcare in the nursery (ages birth-36 months).
We ask that parents who bring their children remain on campus, either attending classes or serving in some capacity. Thank you for your consideration. This is for the safety and wellbeing of our kids.
