Raising Christian Children

Our mission is to make sure the children of Pendleton Center are learning and actively becoming strong in their faith in God. Our goal is not just for them to be great disciples of Christ, but to be surrounded by other Christian children and youth, to make friends who are good influences, and to build Christian relationships. We want them to love coming to church each week!

We offer weekly programs, such as Jr. Church on Sundays, Hot Chocolate with God & S'mores on Fridays, and special programs throughout the year, like Vacation Bible School and the Easter Celebration & Egg Hunt.

For a more efficient start to our programs, we ask you to fill out a registration form for your children before their first attendance. This will help us better understand their needs and ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone.

Jr. Church
Sundays, 9:00 AM, 3 years - 6th grade

Jr. Church is for children 3 years - 6th grade during the Sunday 9:00 AM worship service. Children can be dropped off in the Ark before worship and will return to worship at the end of the service.

Children are always welcome in our worship service, but we know that it’s difficult for most children to focus during services, that’s why we offer Jr. Church for children 3 years - 6th grade during the 9:00 AM Sunday services.

Our Jr. Church program is a fun, interactive, and safe place where kids can worship God and engage in their very own relationship with Him. This is a perfect opportunity for your children to learn and start building their lives on Jesus and learning more about Him.

For more information, contact Adrienne Demmin.

Hot Chocolate with God & S'mores
Fridays, 6:00 PM, PS-7th grade

Our Friday night HCWG and S'mores programs are a place where children (PS-7th grade) come together for a small group lesson. Small groups are divided by age and gender and give the children an opportunity to spend time in growing in their relationship with Jesus alongside other Christian children. They also will get connected to an older teenager, who is in a leadership role and serving by being an example of Christ.

Small groups aren't the only thing we do on Friday nights; catch us in action as we are sharing dinner together, praying together, having group lessons together, working in large groups together, dancing together, and more!

Registration is required. Check the calendar for the meeting schedule.

For more information, contact Adrienne Demmin.

Vacation Bible School
K-6th grade

VBS is held every summer and helps kids discover the wonders of God's creation. Throughout the day, they will learn how God walked with heroes of the Bible, and that God is always with them too. Add to the adventure with out-of-this-world fun, learning, Bible stories, music, science, crafts, and games that inspire kids to give glory to God, who can do far beyond all that we could ask or imagine!
