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 Faith Exploration 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 Faith Exploration. Children three-years-old through fifth grade may join us in the North Wing.

Rooted in the progressive Christian tradition of the United Church of Christ,
the Christian Formation Board and its ministries teach, challenge, and equip
Plymouth's worshiping community to develop a lifelong transforming relationship with God
that inspires action toward peace and justice for all of creation.
