Children

As members of the family of God, children occupy an essential place in the life of St. Philip's. Our Children's Center is home to programs in Christian education and music, as well as a fully-staffed nursery and a contract day school program during the week (the Beginning School) which begins with toddlers and goes through fourth grade .

We seek to create settings where children can explore, learn, play, worship, and enjoy one another as part of the entire St. Philip's community.

Child Care: Each Sunday from 8:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m., for infants and children up to the age of 3.

Worship with Us: Each Sunday at 9 a.m. for children age 3 and up, in the Children's Chapel. Children have the opportunity to participate in music, movement, and art as they explore the Gospels and worship. Each gathering begins with "setting" the worship table with the colors and symbols of the liturgical season. Parents are always welcome. On the third Sunday of each month children join their wider community for worship in the church. The children offer music as part of the worship.

Sunday School: Each Sunday at 10:15 a.m., age-group classes (age 3 through grade 5) meet in the Children's Center for Sunday School. Children are invited to hear and tell stories and engage in a number of response activities as they grow in their knowledge about and relationship with Jesus, themselves, and each other. There are many opportunities to engage in outreach activities both at St. Philip's and in the wider community.

Boy Choir & Girl Choir: These two choirs are open to children and youth in Grades 3 - 8, and sing at the 9 a.m. worship service on a regular basis. Rehearsals are weekly.

Camp St. Philip's : This special summer Sunday morning program for children of Sunday School age begins in June. It runs from 9 a.m. until 11 a.m. each Sunday during the summer. Parents are invited to attend the 9 a.m. church service and then go to coffee hour or an adult education class before picking up their children in the Children's Center at 11 a.m.

Special Events: There are several family-oriented special events throughout the year.
