All Ages

Christian Education classes are available for all ages. Everyone will begin together in Catlin Chapel for Praise and Worship and Scripture, then divide into small age groups to respond to the Scripture. More information on the Christian Education page.

Splash!

Birth through 3

Splash! is a new ministry for children, from birth through age 3. Created by the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), Splash! provides parents of children in this age group with a monthly newsletter with ideas for faith-filled play, worship, meals, and prayer. Once a year, these parents will also receive a CD filled with music and stories appropriate for each age group.

Support Splash! The 3–year program costs $50 per child. Your financial support of this ministry will help nurture these young families. Splash! is also a way to live out the promise the congregation makes at each child’s baptism: to raise and nurture our children as disciples of Christ.

Enrichment Program

Age 3 through Kindergarten

Bush Hill offers an Enrichment Program during the second worship service (also during the single summer service) following the children's sermon, for children age 3 years through kindergarten. If there is a Baptism during worship, the children leave for Enrichment after the Baptism.

Wednesday Club

Kindergarten through Grade 6

We believe that nothing is more important than building a relationship with Jesus Christ, and that we all should seek to be His disciples. Wednesday Club focuses this belief on the nurturing of children, helping them develop into lifelong believers and practicing disciples of  Jesus Christ. Wednesday Club's four components (Recreation, Church Family Time, Bible Study, and Worship) help build a stronger community among the children and provide a foundation for them as they grow up in the church. Wednesday Club is led by a team of organized volunteers. Also, the sixth grade participants will have a chance to take on leadership roles as they work with the younger children.

See home page for any updates for the Wednesday Club Schedule.

Acolytes

Grades 4–6

An acolyte is defined as an assistant to the pastor for performing minor liturgical functions during the worship service. Bush Hill's acolytes light the candles on the communion table during the prelude, which marks the opening of the worship service, and extinguish the candles after the benediction, symbolically carrying the light out into the world. The acolytes receive formal training before assisting in the worship service. They also participate in service projects for the community and the church.
