Children

Can faith be made real to a child? Can a four-year-old minister to others? Can a third grader understand scripture? At the Chevy Chase Presbyterian Church, the answer is a resounding yes! Here our ministry to our children and their families focuses on creating a place of belonging, a place where children are called by name, and a place where discipleship and a love of God and neighbor are nurtured. As church and family, we take seriously the baptismal covenant, which partners parents and congregation to help each child understand God’s purpose for his or her life.

We provide a number of programs for children, including our Sunday School lessons. Children are encouraged to celebrate communion and experience worship with their church family. Special events throughout the year (Deck the Halls, the Easter Festival, and other inter-generational events) give younger children and families a chance to experience their faith in fun, spirit-filled ways, and contribute to our life together as a congregation.
