Even the youngest child can know the love of Christ. That’s why it's never too early to intentionally share the message of God’s love with our children.
Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6
We Partner with Parents
God ordained parents to be the primary spiritual guides for their families. While you are their first teachers, we are eager to engage, supplement and support families as they help their children grow toward mature, Christian adulthood.
We are Passionate in Ministry
We nurture children from two months through 4th grade as they develop in their faith and grow into disciples of Jesus Christ through age and developmentally-appropriate environments and activities.
Our goals are to:
- Engage with the Bible and discover its relevance in daily life.
- Become a part of a community within Sunday school groups.
- Develop an appreciation for the wonders of God’s creation.
- Gain tools for growing in faith among today’s culture.
We are Purposeful in Spiritual Formation
Beginning with our covenant through infant baptism, the HPPC family commits to the spiritual formation of each child. We have identified four core practices that encourage each family’s growth in Christian discipleship, so children understand we REACH UP to God and REACH OUT to people around us.
REACH UP
-
Worship God: Children learn to worship by experiencing it.
- Grow in Christ: It’s important for children to understand that our faith is made to grow.
REACH OUT
-
Build Community: By caring for each other and learning together we are connecting and encouraging community for our children.
- Bless the World: We are called to love and reach out to people in need.
This is the first experience many children have at HPPC. Child Care is a loving environment where children are cared for in age-appropriate rooms with Christian staff and activities that reinforce Biblical stories.
Children ages 2-5 experience the message of God’s love as they learn Bible stories and Christian principles through interactive, hands-on activities. This equips children with a Biblical foundation that reinforces a growing faith.
Children in 1st-4th grades are ready to build on the foundation and apply Biblical truths to their daily lives. Elementary programs provide an environment where children continue to learn Bible stories, discover how to follow Christ in their daily lives and build community with others.
