Kids Ministry

Children’s Ministry at First St. Paul’s is focused on connecting parents and children with one another and to God’s word every week, in every ministry and in every home.


Through Sunday morning Education Hour, Wednesday Ichthus, at-home lessons, special events and more; we desire to have faith begin at home. As kids and families, with the support of the church, Grow! to God’s word and grow deep in faith.

All ages 3 years through 6th grade need to check-in before heading to their classes! There are two check-in stations: Founders Hall Landing and Upstairs Education Wing!

Kids are welcome to join at any time during the year and are encouraged to bring friends! Before your first visit, we require a registration form to be filled out so that we have all of your correct contact information. Paper forms are available at the check-in station or you can fill it out electronically here!

Bible Boot Camp is a special opportunity for our 3rd graders to learn more about the Bible, discover how to find their way around Scripture, and learn how to use their very own Bible. At the end of the program, each child will receive a Bible of their very own to read, learn from, and treasure for years to come!

While Bible Boot Camp is designed especially for 3rd graders, older children who may have missed this opportunity are welcome to attend.

Please register by calling the church office at (402) 463-1329 or clicking the button below if you plan to attend. Registration helps us make sure we have enough materials and Bibles prepared for everyone.

6th Graders

Ichthus Wednesdays ~ 6:00 – 7:15 p.m. ~ G6 Boys will start in the Joshua Room & G6 Girls will start in 1st and 2nd Kings

Sixth graders are in a unique stage of development-they are more mature than younger children but not quite ready for the responsibilities of Confirmation. To support their faith journey and bridge this gap, we offer special programming tailored specifically for them! Check-in and head straight to the classroom and get ready for some fun!

First St. Paul’s also offers Music Ministries for our children.  Click here to learn more!
