Christian Education


Nursery  – Nursery Care is available in the Palmer Center, Rooms 9 & 10, for infants through 5 years old.

It is never too early to start your child on their journey with their relationship with Christ!   At GPC, we are here to support your family in your faith walk. Our caregivers are specially chosen and have passed a background check.  Nursery and PreK childcare is available during our worship service.   

PreK- 5 years (during Worship times)
Childcare classes are available for this age group  after the children’s conversation.

During the Sunday school hour, 3-5 year olds are able to join the TruthSeekers’ class, enjoying hands-on learning activities, such as drama, Bible games, creative art, videos, and more!

PreK through 6th Grades TruthSeekers Program
​

Our Sunday school classes for ages PreK through 5th grade, use an exciting and fun format involving many different types of hands on activities. We teach Bible events and concepts through child friendly learning, activities, including storytelling, games, arts and crafts drama, songs and prayer.
​
The students learn the Bible story or concept in depth as they rotate to a different workshop each week. By concentrating on one theme each month, children are able to develop a lasting memory and understanding of content with this multi-intelligences approach.

Our church is blessed to have teachers who have had many years of teaching experience, are parents of current students, and/or some are certified teachers. To provide peace of mind for the protection of our children, all teachers have passed a background check clearance.

Jr. PYC (7th-8th Grades) & Sr. PYC (9th-12th Grades)  

The Presbyterian Youth Connection (PYC) seeks to connect young people to each other, the church, and the whole world through faith in Jesus Christ.  Presbyterian Youth Connection is built on the five intentions of the Presbyterian Youth Ministry:
  • To call young people to be disciples of Jesus Christ.
  • To respond to the needs and the interests of young people. 
  • To work together, youth and adults, in partnership. 
  • To be connected to the whole church, community, and the world. 
  • To include all young people, reaching out and inviting them to belong to the community of faith.

Sunday AM Connection Groups:  Grades 7-8 and 9-12 meet each week during the Sunday School hour for Bible study & activities to help our youth get closer to God and understand His Message.

Youth Meetings and Events:  See the church calendar for upcoming events. Examples of events during the year are:
  • Mission projects (Feed My Starving Children, men's shelter lunch preparation, World Vision 30-Hr. Famine, United Food Bank, etc.)
  • Dessert & Dinner Nights with Youth activities
  • Opportunities for leading worship services during Advent and Lent
  • Opportunities to connect with other Presbyterian Youth groups (depending on interest and availability)
