Highland Kids:
Birth-6th Grade

What We're About

We want to come alongside you to teach your children to know and love Jesus. Find out more about our Early Childhood, Elementary, and 5th and 6th Grade Ministries below. Tips and resources for your family are being shared on our Early Childhood, Elementary, and 5th & 6th Grade Ministry Instagram accounts.

Early Childhood
Birth-K

The Early Childhood ministry will grow your child’s understanding of God’s love through their interactions with caregivers, Bible stories, songs, and age-appropriate activities.

Sunday Mornings 

Sunday Classes are available in person at 9:30 or 11:00 am as well as online through EC Live. Both formats include worship, Biblically-based teaching, and activities that help bring the Bible stories to life in a developmentally fun and appropriate way. 

Note: We hope and plan to be able to meet attendance needs, but to maintain a physically and spiritually safe and enjoyable environment in our classrooms for the children and teachers, we will still maintain room capacity maximums.

New to HP Pres? Check out our What to Expect FAQ that will hopefully help you as you and your family join us for the first time.

Mid-Week

Ministry Child Care is available for children ages 2-months through prek-4, to support parents while they attend certain Bible Studies and Ministry Events. Online reservations are needed at least 1 week prior to the event. (Ministries utilizing Ministry Child Care support will inform participants that it is available.)

Keep your eyes on our Early Childhood Instagram page where you will find a variety of ways for your family to learn and explore God’s truth together.
