Children have a very special place at Plymouth. We teach our young people Biblical stories through a progressive Christian lens. We emphasize the arts and social justice from a young age. Build lasting relationships with our children: Check out opportunities to help them in Church School.

Come together for an intergenerational gathering to watch the Vikings take on the Carolina Panthers. Kick-off is at noon under the Big Top! Bring your chair, wear your fan gear (and bring a mask!), pick up lunch from one of our local restaurants and let’s watch some football! The Committee for Children, Youth, and Families will provide some snacks and hot cider, and there will some activities on hand for kids who get tired of watching the game. We can’t wait to see you there!
During the September to May program year, educational options for all ages are available. Church School programming will occur in the Education wing. 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. Each week, the curriculum will be tied to the main themes of the scripture and sermon of our worship services, providing a cohesive experience between worship and education. In order to best serve the variety of learning needs of our children, every class every week will have opportunities for movement activities, art, stories or songs and games, as well as equip the children to apply lessons learned in the church into their everyday lives.
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.
Interested in our afterschool clubs?
Here is the link to sign up for Builderspace and Makerspace (FYI: our makerspace on Tuesdays from 5:30-6:30 has lots of room!), as well as a NEW sign-up for Tutoring/homework help! We have a wonderful volunteer who can help our students, but I don’t want them to have to come if there is no one in need of help that week. Please sign up if you are interested in homework help/tutoring services on Tuesday evening!
Remember Improv at 5:30 on Tuesday and Biking at 5:30 on Wednesday are drop-in, no registration required!
Throughout the year, children and their families participate in a variety of special activities, including a Halloween party for all ages, family food drive, Christmas festival, Parents Night Out and more.
Plymouth offers opportunities for children to sing in a choir, ring handbells or participate in dance. Visit the Music page for more information.
