...little children were brought to Jesus for him to place his hands on them and pray for them...Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."
 Matthew 19:13-14 NIV


Sunday School
For children 2 years old through 5th Grade, Sunday School is offered at both  9:45 and 11:00 on Sunday mornings. For children under 2 years old, we provide childcare in the  nursery  that is located in Room 102.

 Mission
 All of our children’s offering goes to a dedicated mission project. This year we plan to continue to give our offering to the Paoli Presbyterian Food Closet. The children will be given the opportunity to visit the food closet and see how their money can make a concrete contribution to the lives of others.
Know Christ and 
Make Him Known
We strive to assist children in the development of their faith in Christ by providing a safe and nurturing environment.  We feel it is important for families to worship together and we offer various worship and education opportunities.
