Children, Youth & Families
Sunday Worship
Southport Presbyterian Church is committed to encouraging participation in worship services by people of all ages, including serving as acolytes, reading scripture and sharing musical talents.
We have a children’s message during worship and then children are dismissed for Sunday School. We have activity bags to keep the younger children busy until the children’s message.
A bright, spacious activity area is available for babies and toddlers during Sunday worship. Children are cared for by member volunteers who have been through a background check through Safe Gatherings.
Sunday School
Sunday School is offered for all children ages PreK and up. We currently have one class for children PreK through 4th grade and another class for youth grades 5 –middle school.
A Confirmation class for youth to explore personal faith and church commitment is offered by Pastor Joanna.
