Children
 |
| Just like adults, children learn in different ways. At PHPC, first through fifth graders study one Biblical story each month. But, they rotate to a different workshop each week. With twelve workshop rooms, kids may get to learn through art in the “Carpenter Shop,” drama with the “Promised Land Puppets,” computers in the “Fisher’s.net” room, storytelling in the “Desert Tent,” cooking in “Mary and Martha’s Bed and Breakfast” room, or culture in “Dr. Luke’s Library.” There are also workshop rooms focusing on movement, music, mission, and worship — why, there is even a video room that we call PHPC-TV!
In 6th grade, the format changes, as we study all of the stories of the Old Testament in order, to see the big picture of God's work with our world.
To get the whole story on connecting your kids, please call our main number, (
214) 368-6348, and ask for Children’s Ministry.
