Children’s Ministry

Fall/Winter News & Updates


This Fall we have some exciting updates and changes in Children’s Ministry!


Sunday School  at 9:45 am


Our Sunday school curriculum for 2024/2025 is called DWELL and is published by Faith Alive. DWELL invites children to live into God’s story of creation, fall, redemption, and restoration. It encourages children to live out God’s story every day as they respond to God’s call. Each DWELL session provides fun, interactive ways for children to learn and explore as together they find their place in God’s Big Story. Preschool children will be using Faith Alive’s “God Loves Me” curriculum this year.


Events & Coming Attractions


Please stay tuned for dates and times for some very exciting opportunities for your children to grow in their faith in the Lord. Below is a small sample of what is coming this fall!

  • Wednesday Renewal— resuming Sept 25 through Nov 14 at 4:00 pm After School Children’s Choir, Story Time, Crafts & Games followed by All Church Family Dinner and Bible Study
  • Advent Adventure—Friday November 22, 5:00-

Men’s Fellowship

PCEPC is initiating a Men’s Fellowship for the purpose of learning and growing as disciples of Christ and building up the brotherhood of believers in His name. To this end, the Men’s Fellowship will meet each Tuesday morning from 9:00 am to 10:00 am in Foundation Hall to explore and discuss various topics.


Starting Tuesday, September 3rd, we will initiate our group by looking at Max Lucado’s book entitled, “God Never Gives Up on You: What Jacob's Story Teaches Us About Grace, Mercy, and God's Relentless Love.” This is an easy-to-read book that focuses on God’s perfect plan to use imperfect people to do great things by exploring how God used Jacob—the misbehaving patriarch who was strong on savvy but weak on conscience—simply because God chose to use Jacob. His story invites us to believe in a God who sticks with the unworthy until we are safely at home.


This book will encourage us in our walk with Christ as He turns brokenness into blessings through His grace, mercy, and relentless love. Books will be available in the narthex or church office starting on or about Sunday, August 18th.

This Fellowship is open to men of all ages including members, non-members, and friends. We look forward to seeing you on September 3rd as we kick off this Fellowship. Please contact either Bruce Thomas (bruce@piersonandscott.com) or Carl Maronde (cnmaronde@comcast.net) if you have any questions.
