Children have a very special place at Plymouth. Our programming teaches the Biblical story while maintaining a progressive and global perspective. We emphasize the arts and social justice from a young age.

Peace Camp takes place June 25–29; half-day and full-day options are available. Register here.
During the September to May program year, children attend the 10:30 a.m. service, generally until the second hymn, when they are dismissed to their classrooms. We ground our study of God’s ways in Christian and Hebrew scripture, interfaith perspectives and faith stories. We are open to questions about faith, and equip children for their lifelong faith journey. Allowing the freedom of the seeker of any age is a core value of our progressive Christian community, as is respecting all faiths.
We embrace diverse families—families with two moms, mom and dad, two dads, a single parent, or those with gender-variant family members, including children—all are welcome at Plymouth Church. Register here for 2017-2018.
Gather at 9:45 am Sundays in the Chapel for a 30-minute, lively and child-friendly service, ideal for busy families.
On Sundays, from 9:00 am–noon, infants are cared for by staff and volunteers in room 209. Summer hours are 10:15 am to noon for children 3 and younger.
Throughout the year, children and their families participate in a variety of special activities, including a Halloween party for all ages, Thanksgiving family food drive, Christmas festival and more.
Plymouth offers opportunities for children to sing in a choir or participate in dance. Visit the Music page for more information. (Handbells are on hiatus currently.)
