Encourage Others
Act in Service to your community and
Tell the world about Jesus



Let the GREAT Adventure begin...

PEPC is a place where children are equipped with a backpack of faith. Imagine a child going into his world with these essential tools at his fingertips, in his backpack; knowing God’s word and how to apply it to his own life, discovering his own gifts and how he can use them to serve others, exploring how to connect with the Lord through worship, learning how to live in Biblical fellowship with other believers, and understanding how to share his faith.

Our vision is that, through experiences that are fun and relevant to today’s kids, we will inspire and equip every child who walks through the doors of PEPC to put on his own backpack of faith and walk with confidence on his journey with Christ.

It is our goal to come alongside you as your child's Spiritual Leader. We have put together a list of biblical checkpoints for children ages 3 to 6th grade. This list is one that we hope will equip children with His word and knowledge that they will carry with them for a lifetime. While children will practice these occasionally at church, we encourage you to work on them on a regular basis at home. Children will be given the opportunity to share with their teachers what they know and at the end of the year they will celebrate what they have learned.
