Children and Youth
We have a range of programs to help develop spirituality and stewardship in children and youth including Sunday School, Youth Group and Vacation Bible School. Days and times of our activities are listed in the calendar.
Children
RPC Preschool
Riverside Presbyterian Church Preschool provides a quality preschool experience for children ages three through five. Classes meet Monday through Friday.Faith Formation
Sunday mornings, children preschool – 5th grade are invited to leave worship after the mini-message to participate in Faith Formation. The time is spent interacting with stories in the Bible to think about how they apply to them as children in today’s world. The activities are multi-sensory including art, music, games and cooking. On first Sundays, the children will come back to the sanctuary to participate in communion.
Ringers & Singers
The Riverside Singers children’s choir meets on Wednesdays from 4:15 to 4:45. The Riverside Ringers is a handchime group that meets each Wednesday from 4:45 to 5:15. Children who are not members of RPC are welcome to join either group. The ages range from 5 – 13 years. Both groups meet during the school year, but not during the summer.Cub Scouts
RPC is the charter organization for Cub Scout Pack 24. All boys in first through fifth grade, who reside in the area roughly encompassing the Riverside-Brookfield High School district, or who attend RPC, are eligible to join.
Youth
Annually, youth of the church come together with youth throughout the country in a summer mission trip experience. Locations and activities vary each year and have included work with Habitat for Humanity, Appalachia Service Project and Presbyterian Disaster Relief.
