We at Philpott Church, believe in the value of children.  They are a blessing from God and in that knowledge we aim to love, honour, teach and minister to them.  Acknowledging that parents are the primary influencers of children, we commit to walking alongside parents in these formative years.

Children’s ministry at Philpott Church encompasses children from newborns up to Gr. 5.  

This year, we are using the curriculum  Children Desiring God!”  This curriculum is taught right from the nursery up through the Gr. 5 children.

Our children are precious to us and therefore we take every precaution to make the classrooms the safest they can be.  Last year we implemented the “Plan to Protect” policy. Each volunteer in Children’s Ministry undergoes a rigorous application process which includes police checks, training, references and interviews.  


Nursery – newborn to 2 years old – during both services -

• One consistent staff member during both services to ease separation anxiety along with a number of volunteers
