Children's and Family Ministries

     Our Children’s and Family Ministries programs offer faith formation opportunities designed to nurture the spirit and help children and families grow in their understanding of the biblical story.  
 What's happening for children on Sunday mornings this summer?

• Beginning June 20, 2021, children ages three through 5th grade will meet outdoors at 10:00am for the summer in and near the parking lot under tents.
• Please sign in your children near the back door to the church. While children ordinarily begin in the sanctuary, they will begin outdoors for the summer months. There will be signs and adults to guide you.
• Please dress your children in casual clothes for outdoor activities.
• Children and adults are not required to wear masks outdoors, however; children age 2 years and older and adults that are not fully vaccinated will need to wear masks to enter the building to use restrooms or to go into the sanctuary. 
• We will not have a nursery this summer for our infants and toddlers. Please know that you are welcome to bring your children into the worship service with you.  If you prefer, there are rocking chairs available in the narthex. In addition, there is a family lounge where you may sit and watch the service on a screen. We hope to offer nursery care in the fall.

Milestones for Children Ages 3-5th Grades
(Discover More)

​​Milestones are developmental markers that we celebrate throughout our lives.  They are usually firsts.  We celebrate the usual first tooth, first steps, first word.  We also celebrate the firsts of our faith lives beginning with baptism, beginning Sunday School, celebrating communion for the first time, receiving a first Bible and more.  At First Presbyterian Church of Birmingham we hope to help families connect their faith with everyday life.  Growing in faith happens beyond Sunday mornings, and we seek to equip parents and children to find ways to grow at home.
