Children & Youth

Overbrook Presbyterian Church offers a safe, nurturing environment where children and youth can learn about God and grow in their Christian faith.



Child Protection Policy

Overbrook Presbyterian Church is committed to providing a safe and secure environment for all children and youth entrusted to our care. In accordance with Pennsylvania State law and the policies of Overbrook Presbyterian Church, all those volunteering to work with children are subject to a screening process, which includes a check of criminal records and child abuse records. Contact our pastor for more information about the policies and the process for volunteering.

Children and Youth in Worship

Worship is for all of God’s people and all children are welcome in the worship service. Children and youth participate in the service in a variety of ways. Older children and youth serve weekly as acolytes and periodically assist as ushers and lay leaders. Special worship kits are also available each week at the entrance to the Sanctuary, to help children better engage in worship.

During Sunday worship, there is a Biblical Storytelling when children are invited to sit on the chancel steps for a short message led by the Pastor or Director of Children and Family Ministry. Overbrook Junior Choir sings in the worship service periodically during the school year. Throughout the year, special services and events include a Christmas pageant on Christmas Eve.

Children & Family Ministry

Sunday School

Sunday School is offered Sundays from September through May, except the first Sunday of the month. Following the Biblical Storytelling, our younger students (Pre-K to Grade 5) leave worship for Sunday School.

Nursery

Worship-time child care is provided for infants and toddlers in the Nursery by paid, professional caregivers. During the summer, children up through Grade 2 may leave worship following the Biblical Storytelling for child care in the Nursery.

OPC Youth

Youth are invited to participate in Sunday School each Sunday from September through May, except the first Sunday of the month. Youth and teachers leave worship following the sermon to participate in Sunday School.

Fellowship and service activities are planned for middle and high school youth by our Youth Leaders and a team of parent volunteers. Please contact our Youth Leaders to be added to our email mailing list and to receive updates on upcoming youth activities.


 

Seasonal Activities

Each summer, Vacation Bible School draws children from the congregation and the community for a time of faith-based arts & crafts, music, and fellowship. On Christmas Eve, the children and youth participate in a Christmas pageant in the Sanctuary. Another beloved Christmas Eve tradition at Overbrook is the decoration of gingerbread houses. In the Spring, children enjoy Easter activities on the lawn.

Overbrook Junior Choir

The Overbrook Junior Choir is a choir for children. During the school year, it sings periodically in worship. The emphasis of the choir is not just on performance, but is intended to be a growth experience that blends music, the Bible, the history of the church, multiculturalism, and fun.
