Get summer started off right with a week-long Food Truck Party. At the center of the Party is a special food truck called "On the Roll". Here, kids learn about the "Daily Specials", which are lines from the well-loved prayer that teaches us to turn to God to meet our needs - "Give us this day our daily bread". from Mathew 6:11.
Adult and High School Volunteers wanted! Community Hours for High School Credit Accepted. We prepare the lesson and materials for you. Please contact Carol Morain at cmorain@fpcgh.org.

We use Grow Curriculum (with a little bit of “us” thrown in) for all ages! “We believe there are four spiritual habits that help kids (and adults, too) grow closer to God.” We focus on these spiritual habits both in Our Sunday school and our outside activities. They are:
-
Spend time with God
-
Spend time with others
-
Share your story
-
Use your gifts

Preschool Sunday School - 9:00 & 11:00 AM (Blue Room)
Our Preschoolers have fun learning the same thing that our elementary kids are learning with a different theme every month! The Grow Curriculum is taught with fun activities designed for preschool-age children. Our goal is for children to learn the truth of a loving heavenly Father by providing a variety of activities that will help them apply what they’re learning.
Elementary Sunday School - 9:00 & 11:00 AM (E3 & E7)
Our Sunday morning program designed for children in kindergarten through fifth grade. We spend an equal amount of time both in the Old and New Testament and we teach it chronologically with fun activities and things to make that lead back to the story and Big Idea. We want them to start thinking about our four spiritual habits and how they can use them in their life.

FAQs for First Time Visitors
Where Do I Go?
Newborn - Toddler-aged children (0-3) can be dropped off in the Nursery or Toddler room anytime between 8:45-12:15 pm where they will be checked in digitally. Katie Morain is our nursery coordinator and can be reached at katie@fpcgh.org.
Children in Preschool and Elementary enter the sanctuary for service with their parents. During the service, the pastors will invite all children to move to the front of the church for Time for Young Disciples. After this, children will be dismissed to Sunday School. Sunday School Teachers are available on the patio to walk children down to their appropriate classroom. After service simply go to their classroom for pick up.
Check In and Check Out
Children are checked in and out at their classroom. We use an electronic check in system, and if you would like to pre-check in you can use the Church Center App to find us!
How Are Volunteers Screened?
