VISION
Our purpose is to provide quality Christian programming for church and community member families. All children, including those who have special developmental and/or health challenges are welcome.
We commit to encourage and equip parents with tools and resources to help them be the primary spiritual influencers in their homes and we commit to engage our kids with God’s truths each weekend through relevant Bible teaching, music, group discussion, and age-appropriate activities.
ABOUT
Children and Family ministry serves children from birth through fourth grade through weekly programs and events, divided by age, and events held throughout the year.
The annual highlight of Children and Family Ministry is Vacation Bible School, a four-day experience with worship, Bible stories, games, and family fellowship held in June.
SUNDAY MORNING
Worshipping with your child(ren)
Children are welcome participants in all Sunday morning worship services.
When needed, families can participate in the services from one of our specially designated Family rooms. The service is broadcast on television monitors in each space.
Bulletins for Young Worshippers, intended to help children engage in the service, are available from the ushers for all services.
Children's Programming

OUR COMMITMENTS TO YOU
A Welcoming Environment
If you are new to Peachtree, we invite you to come to the Welcome Area of Family Commons on Sunday mornings. Our staff and volunteers will be there to guide you. We'll help you get your child checked in and walk with you to their room.
A Safe Environment
Peachtree creates a safe and secure environment for each child. All volunteers and leaders are carefully screened and supervised, and a check- in and security process for all kids provides parents the assurance that their child is being well-cared for during Sunday services.
For kids needing assistance because of a developmental or physical challenge, we work with parents to understand each child's needs and provide a one-to-one volunteer for their child. Our goal is to help every child fully participate on Sundays.
An Age-appropriate Environment
Peachtree has developed age-appropriate environments where your child will experience God’s love and learn his truths in a program designed especially for them. As the children grow, our team works closely with the Student Ministry Team to prepare children for student life, which begins with Fifty6, the fifth and sixth grade environment.
A promising future
As kids learn biblical truths and experience God’s love both at home and at church, the message of His love for them is reinforced, giving each child an opportunity to move into the future with a solid faith foundation. Thank you for the privilege of partnering with you to help your child develop a faith that sticks!
VOLUNTEERING
Teach the next generation
While we believe that parents are the primary teachers of their children, every member of Peachtree is called to live out the promises we make when each child is baptized, and through our service will help build the next generation of followers of Jesus.
