Children’s Ministry
Our Children's Ministry is one the best in all of College Park as we have well-qualified, safe, loving staff who teach GOD'S WORD through Bible stories, songs, crafts, activities & prayer. EEach month the children in the Nursery, Sunday School, Junior Church and Kid's Worship will focus on a particular theme where they will be engaged in the teachings surrounding that theme. It is our goal, by teaching different aspects of one monthly theme each week, the children will gain a strong understanding of God's love through pivotal Bible lessons. We welcome your children to any of these opportunities. Click the button below to view a brochure about CPPC's Children's Ministry Program.

Nursery for Babies and Toddlers
We are proud to offer both an infant nursery and a toddler nursery to meet our growing needs. The infant nursery is designed for babies who are not yet walking. The toddler nursery is aimed for toddlers up to three years old. Our babies and toddlers are stimulated cognitively, physically, socially, and spiritually through interactive play, music and Bible stories. We offer a warm atmosphere with age-appropriate toys, decor and equipment that will please both parent and child. We provide nursery care for all on-campus events including worship services, Bible studies and Sunday school.

We are proud to teach Bible themes and lessons to the children in the Toddler Nursery each Sunday, in addition to their free play, snack time, prayer time and fun on the playground. Each week we have circle time where they hear a Bible story then participate in crafts and activities surrounding that story or lesson.

We invite your toddler to join us for this lesson beginning at 10:30am on Sunday mornings. (Toddler and Infant nurseries open at 9:00am during Sunday morning activities and Sunday School.)

Children's Worship Bulletin
Each weekly bulletin provides quiet age-appropriate activities based on lessons from the church year calendar. It is aimed for those ages 3-6 and ages 7-12. This allows children to feel just as important as the "grown ups", receiving bulletins of their own. The usher will be distributing the bulletins before each service.

Children's Pew Packs
They are available in the back of the Sanctuary for children to borrow during worship services. These canvas bags are filled with Christian stories, coloring books, and quiet activities.

Parenting In The Pew
We have recently purchased two copies of the book Parenting in the Pew by Robbie Castleman. This book is an easy-to-read guide for parents to help children, from toddlers to teens, take worship seriously and participate in worship. The books are available in the church office to be checked out.
