Doylestown Presbyterian Church

Church School takes place in Andrews Hall every Sunday from September to June between our two worship services, from 9:45 to 10:30.  We offer classes for all ages, nursery through 6th grade.  During the summer weeks we do not have Church School.  Children's Worship Time is offered at the 10:00 service, and Church School resumes on Sunday, September 19.

Be sure to register your child(ren) for Church School 2010-2011.

Club 456 is a program just for fourth, fifth and sixth graders that offers them an opportunity to gather weekly for an evening of fun, fellowship and Bible study.  Our goal is for these young people to develop relationships with each other, to grow closer to God and to discover ways to live out there faith.  We strive to create a safe, caring atmosphere where they are encouraged to share their experiences and express their ideas.

This year, Club 456-ers will be adventurers.  As we explore together we will discover ways we can "Discover the Possibilities" and make the world a better place.  After all, with God, all things are possible!

Club 456 takes place every Wednesday evening during the school year from 5:00 to 7:15 in the Andrews Hall gym.  There is also a choir just for fourth, fifth and sixth graders that meets from 4:15 to 5:00 in room 205 of Andrews Hall (AH-205).

Children's Worship Time is held during worship services each Sunday.  After the "Time with the Children," children age 4 through first grade are invited to go to the Parlor for a time of age-appropriate worship.  Each week the children focus on a particular verse from Scripture, share their joys and concerns, say The Lord's Prayer together, and talk about ways that faith can make a difference in their lives.

Our Children's Worship Time Coordinators are Jenny Baker and Anne Murray.

These volunteers make themselves available to children within the Church School program who have special needs. Buddies attend classes with the children and help them participate and interact with the class in whatever ways possible. If you have a child who could benefit from a Buddy or has other special needs which you would like us to know about, please contact the the church office (215-348-3531 / This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

At DPC, we believe that Christ has called us to reach out to children and youth with God's love. We consider this ministry a high calling and a sacred trust. Therefore, we are committed to doing everything within our power to protect these young people from the possibility of abuse or neglect. It is our hope and prayer that in the midst of a troubled world, DPC can be a place where children and youth are safe.

The Good Shepherd Program is a set of established policies and practices that are in place to ensure that our children and youth are always in a safe, nurturing environment.  For people who would like to work with children or youth, we require that they submit personal references and take part in a Good Shepherd training program after they have been members for at least six months.  If you would like to take the Good Shepherd training, please contact the church office.
