Christian Formation for Children

Sunday Mornings for Children

We believe that children are a vital part of the church, and we welcome them into every part of worship at Plymouth. That means we welcome their giggles, wiggles, and everything in-between! The first Sunday of every month is an intentionally cross-generational communion service, where our liturgical elements are written with children in mind. On the other Sundays, kids are invited to Children's Worship after our children's sermon at the beginning of the service.

We want Plymouth to be a place where worship is accessible for our youngest congregants. At the front of the sanctuary, we have a Pray Ground stocked with books, coloring pages, and toys that your family is welcome to use. For details about our Pray Ground, check out this pamphlet. Our nursery is offered as an open playroom during both services for wiggly worshipers in kindergarten & younger.

At 9 a.m. during the school year, we offer weekly Sunday School following the Godly Play model, a Montessori-based curriculum. Children three-years-old through fifth grade may join us in the North Wing.

Kids Will Sing!

Our Children's Choir. All kindergarten through fifth graders are invited to come learn songs with Miss Liz that will be performed in church on special Sundays. Sixth through eighth graders are also welcome to be "section leaders" in our ensemble.

Plymouth partners

All fourth through seventh graders are invited to lead in the church as Plymouth Partners. Once a month, we meet for snacks & training sessions. Trained Partners can sign up for different jobs to serve the church on Sunday mornings. For more information, check out our current Partners Handbook. If you are interested in learning more, contact Brooklyn.

Our Whole Lives

In the Spring of 2025, we will offer OWL for kindergarten through second graders and OWL for fourth through sixth graders. Registered Plymouth families will automatically get an email when it's time to sign up. Contact Brooklyn if you would like to be notified when registration opens.
