Children & Youth & Adult Education

The educational offerings for the children and youth of the OHPC community consist of three major components:

​​

1. Children’s Ministry Sunday is every 2nd Sunday throughout the year. This class takes place during worship (from 10:00 AM) and is led by volunteers who follow OHPC’s Children, Youth, and Vulnerable Adult Protection Policy.

2. Vacation Bible School takes place each summer for a partial week. Stay tuned for information regarding the 2026 VBS offering.

3. Small Talk is incorporated into the worship service each week. It takes place between the two scripture readings and is a message tailored to a younger audience (that often also helps the other people in the congregation, too).

 

There is also a nursery room located in the church building. This is a space designed to be a nurturing and fun room for families to attend worship together. There is a TV capable of streaming the worship service so that the adult(s) attending to the fully-embodied play and worship of their child(ren) can be engaged in the worship service, too. This room is at the opposite end of the church building from the sanctuary. To get there, you’ll walk through the narthex and down the central hallway. Keep walking until you enter into another meeting room (the Mr. Rogers’ Room) and then the nursery is on the left.

​

To accommodate the different ages and stages of your infant, toddler, and young child, the church offers changing tables and removable toddler potty seats in each of the restrooms. In the nursery, there is also a changing table. The nursery has wipes available to disinfect toys and other hard surfaces. The bathrooms have wipes to wipe down the potty seats before-and-after use to ensure sanitary conditions for your child(ren).
