Nursery
Nursery is provided at St. Paul's during Sunday worship series. Nursery is for babies and young children up to the age of 3.
Children's Sunday School
Children's Sunday school ranges from children to junior teens, ages 3 to 13. Children Leave the 11:00 a.m. Worship Series following the Children's Story and Hymn. Currently the Sunday School is using the "Veggie Tales" curriculum.
From time to time the curriculum deviates from the routine to "hands-on" activities.
- "Flat bread" is prepared for World - Wide Communion Sunday and for the Maudy Thursday Service.
- Muffins are made, along with soup for some "after church" fellowship times. This is a way to raise funds for summer camp.
- The Sunday before Ash Wednesday (beginning of the Lenten Season) the children with the teens and some adults, prepare and serve a pancake lunch to the congregation. Donations from this event are sent to the N'Diramdi Club in Blantyre, Malawi(cf. St. Paul's Evangelism and World Missions).
Sunday School Superintendent: Audrey Edwards.

- Play
- Bible Study
- Worship Skills

The Purpose is to train children and teens, beginning with grade one age. The program is designed to create an environment for learning good theology and disciplined life skills.
LOGOSs is a major ministry throught the dedication by many adults in the St. Paul's congregation who are called of God to "pour themselves" into helping children and teenagers to find their faith in Christ!
Logos Principle: Everyone will treat others as a Children of God. No one will be treated as if they did not matter.

St. Paul's Vacation Bible School
A Vacation Bible School is held each year. A past theme was, "Galilee-by-the-Sea". The children, youth and teachers were to imaginatively think of Jesus in mortar. They were to project what it would be like to live and work in a seaside town beside the Sea of Galilee. Everyone involved heard "the buzz" about this new teacher, Jesus, who was causing quite a stir. The staff and students were divided into 4 tribes, Asher, Judah, Levi, and Zebulon. Everyone began and ended the sessions with a general assembly. There was also Bible Study, snack time and craft building.
There were about 32 students.
