We Gather
Sunday Morning
Kid's Bible Study - 9:30am - 10:30am
On Sunday mornings, we gather in age-appropriate Bible study groups focused on learning who God is, who Jesus is, what it means to live in relationship with God, and how to apply the Bible to daily life.
Kid's Worship - 10:45am - 12:00pm
During the worship hour, babies through Kindergarten-age children are invited to join us for hands-on worship and Bible study.
Wednesday Night
Kid's Discipleship - 6:00pm - 7:15pm
Our children gather on Wednesday evenings in age-appropriate discipleship groups focused on building foundational knowledge of the Bible, memorization of the Word, and God's heart for missions through hands-on learning, Bible-study games, and crafts.
We Believe
As First Hewitt, we partner with parents to make full devoted followers of Christ by building a gospel-focused spiritual foundation so that kids can grow in their faith and understanding of who God is.

Special Events
Our Children's Ministry provides a variety of special events throughout the year to help encourage, equip, and guide kids to know more about Jesus. Here are a few special events to be looking for:
Night of Lights
At First Hewitt, we love doing anything we can to get to know our neighbors and have fun! Night of the Lights is our version of a fall festival. On the night of Halloween, we host block parties at several homes in our neighborhoods. We've got lots of candy, games, lights, and fun!
Summer VBS 2025 - June 16-18
Each Summer we host VBS on the church campus! Our VBS is a fun way to meet new people, have fun, love our community, and help kids to know more about God's love. We celebrate the end of the week by hosting a large family gathering with fun games, food, and entertainment.
Summer Kids Camp - July 18-21
One of our favorite special events of the year is our annual trip to camp! There is just something about getting away for a few days that helps our kids connect with the Lord in a powerful way! We traditionally head to Mt. Lebanon Encampment, but stay tuned for news about next year!
