Children

All Children and Youth ( 0-17 yo) please check in at the Kiosk by the Welcome Desk when you arrive to get a nametag before worship.  This will make the transition after Faith Sharing go more smoothly for everyone.  We will have someone there to walk you through the process.

Childcare (Birth - 4 years of age)

  • Childcare begins at 9:00 am and ends at 12:45 pm.
  • Our childcare staff and volunteers are excellent and ready to do all they can to provide a safe space for children when they are here at GCPC.
  • All staff and volunteers are vaccinated and ready to receive your children.
  • When you arrive to GCPC you will be asked to check in for childcare in the narthex near the welcome desk. There we will ask you to fill out a brief wellness check and make sure you have a registration on file.
  • If we need you when your child is in our care we will send you a text.

We know our little ones are not here as much as they are at school, or home, so we will work with you to help your child feel comfortable, safe and loved at church.

We look forward to getting to know you and your wonderful children.  Please contact Amy Kim with any questions.

Children in Worship

10am Worship (in person and online)

  • Worship is for everyone!  We encourage families to share in worship together.  There are worship activity bags and spaces for children to explore while in worship.  Older children and youth are also invited to use worship materials at any of these places.
    NEW! Following the time for Faith Sharing: 
  • Children 0-4 will travel with volunteers and Childcare Staff to explore a story from scripture each month using Godly Play and other activities.
  • Children Kindergarten-3rd Grade will travel with volunteers and staff for WE Time (Worship Enrichment Time).  We will explore the scripture for the day through story, song, activities and wondering.  We will have a snack and return to worship before the final hymn or in time for Communion on the first Sunday of each month.
  • Children/Youth 4th-12th grade will remain in worship. Please reach out to Amy Kim if your child/youth is in need of alternative opportunities to be supported during worship.

After Worship

Following Worship: 

  • Children 0-4 are welcome to enjoy free play in/outside on the 1st floor of the Education wing.  Childcare Staff will provide supervision and activities for play.
  • Children Kindergarten-3rd Grade: Music with Ray! We are excited for children K-3rd grade to explore, learn and build community using a variety of music and instruments. This time will be offered Sundays immediately following worship in the Robing Room 201 located on the second level.
  • 4th, 5th, and Middle School Youth are invited to join in conversation immediately following worship in the Youth Room 207.  Conversations will be facilitated by volunteers and focus on current events and how our faith might inform our interactions in all of life.  Snacks will be available.
  • High School Youth are invited to choose their own formation adventure following worship.  You may choose to join in adult classes or join the 4-8th grade youth for conversations in the youth room.

 

Please make sure your child is registered online and that your information in REALM is up to date so that you are receiving any correspondence about upcoming gatherings.
