Elementary Ministry
Sunday
At University Presbyterian Church, we joyfully welcome children in worship. Their voices, energy, and curiosity are part of our community.
For families who prefer it, we offer four classrooms during the service. Wherever your family feels most comfortable—together in worship or in our classrooms—you belong here. Children are dismissed after the Children’s Moment:
Babies Room: Parents are welcome to stay. The service is broadcast over a speaker, or pagers are provided if you're needed.
Preschool Room: A short lesson and playtime with friends. Pagers provided.
K–2nd Grade: Kids explore the Bible story through hands-on activities.
3rd–5th Grade: A deeper dive into the story with age-appropriate discussion.
Changing tables are available in both bathrooms in the education wing and in the all-gender bathroom in fellowship hall.
Wednesday Programing
Thrive is our Wednesday night program for the whole family, from our youngest children through high school! Join us each Wednesday for dinner at 5:00 PM, followed by age-group rotations from 5:30–6:30 PM. Kids will spend time in Bible, Choir, and Games, with each rotation designed for their age group and focused on helping them grow in faith, have fun, and build community with one another. Our groups include Preschool, K–2nd, 3rd–5th, and 6th–12th. The nursery will also be open and staffed for our youngest children.
Dinner is provided each week. Check our weekly Thrive promotions or the below for the week’s meal.
