Ages 6 months—5th grade
Welcome to Children's Ministry!
We look forward to meeting you.
Sundays at 10 am
6 months–2 years
Our staff and volunteers look forward to welcoming your children! The nursery is open during our regular Sunday worship time, so you can attend the service.
3s, 4s and Kinders (STARS)
Your children will learn about Jesus in a loving and safe environment through age-appropriate activities.
1st–5th grade (Children's Church)
Our Children's Church program strives to create an inclusive and welcoming environment for children to learn about Jesus and the Bible in a fun atmosphere filled with games, crafts, service projects and even movie time!
A Safe Environment
All clergy, staff and volunteers that interact with children and youth have been screened and trained through our Safe Church Program.
Children are (always!) welcome in worship
At Sunnyvale Presbyterian Church, we welcome children of all ages as Jesus did — including the sounds and activities that accompany them! There are a number of spaces, "praygrounds," designed for children to experience and participate in worship. Social distancing and covid protocols are in place for your child's safety in these spaces.
All Ages Worship. The first Sunday of the month and Sundays in August, children worship in the Sanctuary with their families. Child care is available for ages 6 months to Kindergarten.

Introducing OASIS, our new Wednesday Night program!
