Our Vision
To see children come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and mature as believers who are both taught and equipped to joyfully obey the Great Commandment and the Great Commission.
Got Questions?Children’s Ministries
Our teachers understand their goal is not merely to deliver content, but to help children to learn and grow in their faith, through the work of the Holy Spirit; learners come to understand and commit themselves to God’s revealed Truth, applying Scripture lessons to life as they grow as believers.
Nursery: Birth through Age 2
CMPC provides age-specific nurseries for infants from birth to toddlers. Reliable volunteers insure that your child is well-cared for during Sunday morning and evening worship services, Wednesday night activities, and other special church events. Pagers are available. See the nursery section of our website for more information.
Sunday School: Age 2 through 5th grade
From 10-10:40am is set apart as the primary teaching time for our children as they go to classes meeting by grade level.

Children’s Church
Children ages 3 through Kindergarten join their parents for the first part of our 8:30 and 11am Sunday worship services, after which they are escorted by the parents for an age appropriate Bible lesson, singing, craft, etc. CMPC encourages families to worship together and offers this service only as an option. Children’s Church meets in room A215.
Wednesday Night Alive
Classes are offered for three year olds through 5th grade from 6:30-7:30pm every Wednesday evening. CMPC’s desire is for the children to have a strong Biblical foundation so they may mature in faith and grow in the knowledge of Jesus Christ. The following is a list of classroom assignments by age:
- 2-3 Year Olds: Room A216
- Pre-K & Kindergarten: Room A215

- 4th & 5th Grade Girls: Room A210
Children are encouraged to live for Christ and to participate in worship, missions and service.
It is essential to understand God’s World through God’s Word. Through God’s grace and the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, teaching from this framework enables us to live according to God’s commands. We use biblically based, theologically sound curriculum.
Evangelism
We provide opportunities for children to invite friends to Church and be exposed to evangelism at an early age through Sunday School, Wednesday Night Alive, and Vacation Bible School.
Screened Personnel
We screen all personnel who work with children to ensure safety and spiritual maturity. Every person who has contact with children is required to agree with the Children’s Protection Policy and complete a screening form.
Annual Children’s Activities
Vacation Bible School
Each year, Vacation Bible School (VBS) is a new adventure theme helps the children learn Biblical truths through active and structured engagement with each other and adult leaders. CMPC’s VBS program offers spiritual development through bible songs, play and socializing together, all mixed with fun. Our goal is to give them a experience they can carry with them to remind them of God’s presence and the salvation of Jesus.

Our Mission
To both assist parents in their responsibility of raising their covenant children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord and to reach unchurched children and their families in order to experience the same. Our goal is for all the children to have Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and to grow in the grace and knowledge of Him in order that they may live lives worthy of the Lord and please Him in every way, bearing fruit in every good work.
