All throughout our school year, we try to acknowledge and celebrate the growth of our children's faith through age appropriate celebrations! Our milestone celebration dates for the 2019-2020 school year are below:
Nursery (Birth to 2) - Baptism / Baby’s First Bible
All children who are baptized at Fourth Church receive a Spark Story Bible as a gift from the congregation - these story bibles are designed to be read to young children by their parents.

On kickoff Sunday, all our growing 3-year-olds (and their parents) are invited to meet Pastor Matt and learn more about our Sunday School program, with a Q&A to follow.
4-year-old’s - Pray and Play: February 23, 2020
