Wellness Policy

We want to keep everyone safe and healthy, which requires everyone doing their part by monitoring for symptoms and staying home if not feeling well. 
This includes:

  • Everyone in the home must be fever free for the past 24 hours. 
  • Nobody in the family currently has or has been exposed to COVID-19 in the past 2 weeks. 
  • No one in the home is experiencing any illness or symptoms including fever, cough, shortness of breath, sore throat, chills, body aches, headache, loss of taste or smell, eye drainage, or congestion.

While you're here

  • We will follow CDC guidelines regarding cleaning and disinfecting classrooms, toys, furniture, and equipment.
  • We will practice age-appropriate social distancing and limited class sizes.
  • Classrooms will not intermingle.
  • All staff and volunteers are temperature screened and will wear masks at all times. 
  • In the event that your child begins experiencing symptoms while in our care, we will contact you for immediate pick-up.

There are a variety of classes, activities, and mission opportunities through our Children’s Ministry to bring little ones up in His love, and to have fun while doing so!

While we are unable to meet together in person, we will be posting our Sunday School lessons for Pre-K through 5th grade here. Parents are sent a weekly email with resources for each lesson attached, and many of our lessons and activities are linked on our Instagram page @2pckids.

If you’d like to be on that email list OR if you’d like other resources related to the lesson, please contact Lucy Stevens at lucy.stevens@2pc.org OR Kirsten Scheel at kirsten.scheel@2pc.org.

Nursery

The Nursery is open for all services, MidWeek program classes, Sunday School, and morning Bible studies. Our mission is to be a safe place where every child and parent sees the love of God in the people who care for them, causing all to have a greater desire to know Him and serve in His church.

Connect

Connect is a great way for 2nd–5th graders to connect with our church, each other, awesome leaders, and to God's Word through music, games, and Bible lessons! We meet on Wednesdays, 6:15-7:30pm, in the Youth lobby.

Worship

We love for kids to join us in corporate worship. We have a time during the service where kids can come down front for a children's sermon. Families can take their younger ones to the nursery after this part of the service.

Shine

All children are a gift from the Lord, “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:14). Our SHINE special needs ministry is designed to share the good news of Christ’s love with those who may have unique learning or physical challenges.

Children’s Choirs

On Wednesday nights, children have the opportunity to broaden their knowledge of Christ's love for them through music by learning great hymns of the faith, memorizing scripture, recognizing music symbols and notes, and playing musical instruments.

Sunday School

On Sunday mornings, our children are encouraged to participate in Sunday School between services, at 9:45am. This is a wonderful opportunity for children to grow in their knowledge of who God is and who He created them to be. For a full list of classes and locations, see below.
God calls parents to be the primary vision-casters for their children by making Him the center of family life. 
The church as a whole shares in the awesome responsibility of instructing our children.
One way we do that is by providing resources for families.

Nursery Frequently Asked Quetions

Still have questions? drop us an email or contact Kirsten Scheel, Early Childhood Coordinator, at (901) 531-6178.

Early Childhood

It’s never too early to introduce your child to the love of Jesus. Long before they can write their names or recite the alphabet, these little ones can take their first steps in a lifelong journey of faith. The preschool ministry is reflective of our desire to join with you, their parents and church family, to ignite their desire for the Lord. 

Catechism

One of the ways we teach our preschool children about the love of Jesus is by learning the catechism together. You can join us in this endeavor by encouraging your children to practice them at home!

Preschool Catechism Questions


CHILDREN'S CHOIRS
