Childrenand Families
Children and Family Ministry serves families with children between the ages of 8 weeks–fifth grade. Weekly Sunday School, weeknight programs, Faith Milestones and family events are some of the fun things that take place for families throughout the year. All children, including those who have special developmental and/or health challenges are welcome. We have environments created just for them.
Here at Peachtree Church, children learn that the Bible is not simply a collection of stories, but God’s unified story of redemptionthat they are a part of! We love seeing kids worshipping God.

Club 45: Fourth – Fifth Grade
Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.
–1 Timothy 4:12
Club 45 is a program for fourth and fifth graders to come and fellowship with one another while growing in knowledge of the Lord. It is our hope that it is a place where the transition from childhood to adolescence is made easier for all students. With a special emphasis on biblical teaching, fun, and frequent events we want all participants have a clear picture of God as they grow in maturity and stature.
Club 45 meets in room 2108 (in the Elemenrary hallway) during the 10am service.
What to do when You arrive

At both entrances, parents will check in their children via the kiosks to receive children’s name stickers and parent security stickers. If this is your first time in Children’s Ministry, please visit the front desk in Family Commons to register your child(ren).
