Children's
Programs @SSPC

St. Stephen offers a vibrant and engaging children and youth program. We offer Sunday School for all ages, from pre-school through high school.

A nursery is available for babies and toddlers during worship, from 8 a.m. to noon on Sunday mornings.

Maker's Masterpieces

Join us at The Maker’s Masterpieces on Sundays at 10:15 a.m., where creativity knows no bounds! Our art class for children and youth of all ages is a blast! We explore a new biblical theme — painting, sculpting, drawing, and more — every week! And guess what? We’ll even have our own art gallery to showcase all the incredible creations! Get ready to be amazed by what God is doing through these young artists! 🎨🌍

“For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus,
so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” Ephesians 2:10

Children’s Church is available during the 11 a.m. worship during the sermon. Children gather during the beginning of the worship service and return during the second hymn.

Child care is offered every Sunday morning from 8 a.m. through noon, during the Sunday School hour and 11 a.m. worship. Our dedicated nursery workers have years of experience with the children of St. Stephen. They welcome children 5 years and younger to the Pre-K Room (#136) or Nursery Room (#117).

CHILDREN'S PROGRAMS

HOLIDAY SERVICES

Throughout the year, St. Stephen focuses on providing special holy worship services for children and families to help them understand the liturgical importance of Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, and birth of Christ on Christmas Eve. It is our hope that children will learn to grasp the meaning of penitence, communion used in the Last Supper and birth of the messiah at these events.

CHRISTMAS EVE

Christmas Eve at 5:00 p.m. is our annual children and family service. The Children’s Choir sings and all children are invited to be a part of the nativity play in costume during the service. “Silent Night” is sung in candlelight at the end. Hot Chocolate and cookies are offered after the worship service.

CHILDREN'S CHOIR

The Children’s Choir at St. Stephen is a great way to get your child involved! Rehearsals are every Wednesday during the school year, 5:15–6:00 pm. Children pre-K through 5th grade are welcome to join. This 45-minute rehearsal includes rehearsing songs to be sung in worship, playing instruments, and a snack. This is a wonderful opportunity for your child to learn how to work together with others to make a joyful noise! If you are interested in having your child join the Children’s Choir, please email Marcie Duplantis, Director of Christian Formation and Children’s Choir Director: [email protected].
