Church Calendar

Our nursery for children under three is open on Sunday mornings during school year beginning at 9:00 a.m. Parents may sign in their babies and toddlers for the morning, or they can visit the nursery for a play break, diaper change, or feeding. Some parents prefer to keep children with them in worship.

Sunday school takes place before Worship from 9:15-10:15 a.m. through May during the program year, with an emphasis on learning and responding to stories in the Bible through reading, conversation, and play! Sunday school classes are offered for children ages Pre-K & Kindergarten, 1-3 grade, and 4-6th grade. Classroom locations are posted throughout the building.

For 7th and 8th graders. Location is posted in the church building. Questions? Contact Pastor Jane Cheema at jane@faithatfirst.com.

First Tuesday of each month, 7-8 pm via Zoom.  Contacts are Pastor Grace, Chair (grace@faithatfirst.com) and Lynelle Diener, Vice Chair (lmdiener@aol.com).
