Sunday Mornings
During Sunday morning worship, children and their parents/caregivers are invited to the kids’ “Prayground” at the front of the sanctuary. Children may also pick up a worship bag for use as they sit in the sanctuary. Children of all ages are invited to come forward for the children’s message. After that, children may attend Sunday School, where they will engage with the Bible through story, prayer, music, art, and play.
Confirmation
Confirmation classes for ERPC young people are held approximately every other year for students in 8th and 9th grade. This series of classes is designed to provide fellowship, instruction, and encouragement for our youth as they prepare to make their own confession of faith and become full participating members of ERPC.
Youth Mission Trips
Every summer, high school youth and adult leaders spend a week in a community around the country engaging in God's mission through building relationships and practicing mutual hospitality with God's people. We desire that as a result of these mission trips, our high school youth will be able to discern where God is at work and encounter God's profound love in new ways.
