At First Pres, we believe the discipleship of children and youth begins at home—and we’re here to walk alongside you every step of the way. Our programs are designed to engage kids and teens with God’s Word in age-appropriate, meaningful ways, while also equipping and encouraging parents as the primary faith leaders in their families. Whether your child is just starting to learn about Jesus or growing deeper in their faith, we’re honored to partner with you in raising the next generation to follow Him.

Our Programs:
Sunday school
Sundays: 8:45-9:45 am
Children and youth will be split up into age-appropriate classes to study the Bible using the Gospel Project curriculum for kids. Sunday school is where kids will dive deep into the big story of the Bible – God’s plan to rescue His people through His Son, Jesus Christ and systematically go through the scriptures. A light snack will be provided. Join at any time!
Children's Worship
Sundays during 10:00 am Worship Time
Children in pre-k -3rd grade are invited to join us for Children’s worship during the 10:00 worship service for an age appropriate worship time. Children begin in the adult service and take part of the worship portion, they are then dismissed before the sermon. Children will play games, learn Bible stories, do crafts and other activities in our Children’s ministry space.

Next Gen. Night
Wednesdays: 6:00 - 8:00 pm
Every Wednesday night from 6–8 PM during the school year, The Beat and Encore provide a fun, faith-filled evening for kids and youth at First Presbyterian Church—free and open to all families in the Rancocas Valley.
The Beat, for Pre-K to 4th grade, features games, crafts, Bible lessons, snacks, and kid-selected electives.
Encore, our 5th–8th grade youth group, builds on The Beat with worship, enrichment classes, and chances to serve the community.
High School Youth Group
Sundays: 6:30 - 8:00 pm
High school is a challenging time, so FPC Youth Group is here as a place of safety, support, fun and learning. On Sunday nights from 6:30-8 PM, students will dive deeper into The Bible and some of its tougher questions. They’ll learn how to apply the Bible in their lives, while also forging long-lasting friendships and enjoying fellowship with one another. All 9th thru 12th graders are welcome!
Mega Sports and Arts Camp
Each year we offer a week long summer program. What was traditionally a Vacation Bible School Program has been adapted and fine tuned to meet the needs of our community and todays generation of children. Mega Sports and Arts Camp combines a time of Bible Study and worship with a time to do selected programming of either sports or Art. This is a free program that we love to offer to the community and we hope that you will join us!
Our Volunteers
Safety is our top priority. All Our volunteers are all background checked, and are certified through MinistrySafe. In addition to trained volunteers, we have security cameras in all classrooms and hallways.
