Children and Young Families
Just as Jesus welcomed the children, they are a welcomed joy here at WPC. They belong! We promise in baptism to nurture them in their faith and well-being, to pray for them, and to let them know they are loved. We are all family in Christ. God’s faithfulness is shown from one generation to the next. Each Sunday there is a time and place for children in worship. We offer opportunities for your child to experience love and guidance from week to week in our Sunday School SHINE Program throughout the school year.
We welcome and encourage you to visit us at Webster Presbyterian Church. If you have any questions about our children’s programs, please contact Gayl Galen, Children Christian Education Director. ggalen@websterpres.org
Our Mission Statement

Our Children’s Programs
Nursery Care
Care for infants through 3-year-olds can be available each Sunday from 9:30-10:30 a.m. Adult volunteers are scheduled each week to provide loving and supportive care so that parents have an opportunity for meaningful worship knowing that their children are cared for in a safe, clean and secure environment.
Please contact Gayl Galen
to arrange for care. ggalen@websterpres.org
