9:00 - 9:45 a.m.

We use The Gospel Project curriculum in our nursery, preschool and school-aged programs.  Additionally, we are offering The Gospel Project in our student ministry as well as in one of our adult classes.  By having parents, students and preschoolers all synced to the same curriculum, parents are better equipped to have gospel-centered conversations on the drive home from church and throughout the week. 😃. Parents of NextGen Kids, please take a minute to review the activity sheets with your children as they have additional resource suggestions in the margin. 

Sunday School offerings by age (birth - 4th grades)

• NextGen Nursery (Birth - up to 24 months)

9:45 - 11:15 a.m.

Extended Care (birth - K)

We offer Extended Care for birth through Kindergarten.  For those coming for the Worship Gathering from 10 - 11:15 a.m., the Extended Care classes break down as follows:

• NextGen Nursery (Birth - up to 36 months)
• NextGen Preschool 3 - K's Class

NextGen Kids - 1st - 4th Grades  

After Sunday School, the 1st - 4th graders are released to attend the song portion of the worship service with their parents.  Then, the children are invited to attend NextGen Kids Church, which is offered every Sunday except when we celebrate the Lord's Supper together as a church family. Children are certainly welcome to remain in the sanctuary during the sermon each week.  

NextGen Kids Church  

NextGen Kids Church is an interactive time where the kids are able to talk and move and be taught God's Word on their level.  Our 1st - 4th graders are learning the attributes of God using "The ABC's of God" curriculum and working on memorizing scripture each week.  When you pick your child up from NGKC, ask them what attribute of God and what verse they learned in Kids Church!   

Parents, please pick your children up from NextGen Kids Church and Extended Care immediately after the sermon and then visit.  Our volunteers appreciate it very much!😃

Health and Safety Matters  

All volunteers will be screened and wearing masks.  Hand sanitizer will be available throughout the area.  Children are welcome to wear masks but are not required to do so. Areas will be cleaned and sanitized before children enter and after they leave. All toys are sanitized with bleach or Lysol at the end of the morning.

*All children need to be checked in at the NextGen Kids Check-in Station and be prescreened before entering the children's area.  Parents will be expected to sign a Waiver of Liability before their children may participate for the protection of our church family.  

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 at PGFirst!  Fundamental to accomplishing this Mission is teaching kids the good news about Jesus in God's Word.  

NGK Wednesdays is a gospel-centered, mission-focused time where the kids will have fun learning the gospel and being trained in the scriptures to share the gospel with others.  We will also be learning about famous missionaries of the past who have turned the world upside-down for Jesus.  A sack supper will be provided each week for the preschool and school-aged children, consisting of a sandwich, bag of chips and a piece of fruit.

We will offer nursery (ages birth-36 months) for moms involved in the Armor of God Bible study.  We will also offer a class for preschool (ages 3-Kindergarten) and a class for school-aged kids (1st-4th grades).  We welcome the school-aged children to bring their friends!
