Children and youth education ministries
We have a Prayground!
Children and families are welcome to worship together in the Prayground along the north wall of the sanctuary. This special space has a variety of quiet resources for all ages to engage in worship in a child-friendly setting.
Children’s Worship Center
The Children’s Worship Center is open every Sunday during the worship hour following the Time with Children on the chancel steps. The Worship Center is for children ages 3 through 2nd/3rd grade. It is a place to worship and hear God’s stories.

Child and Youth Protection Policy
Westminster Presbyterian Church seeks to provide a safe and secure environment for the children who participate in our programs and activities. By following the best practices in the church's Child and Youth Protection Policy, our goal is to protect the children of Westminster Presbyterian Church from incidents of misconduct or inappropriate behavior while also protecting our staff and volunteers/workers from false accusations.
Westminster has had a Child Protection Policy since 2005, but the practices and procedures were reviewed and revised, and a new Policy was adopted by session in December 2016 and updated December 2025.
