Connect With
Children & Families
MPC Kids
At Morningside Presbyterian, our Children’s Ministry team works to provide a space where every child and family feels safe, valued, loved and led. Everyone is cared for, valued as a unique child of God, affirmed as an important member of the community, and taught to depend on God, follow Jesus and be guided by the Holy Spirit.
We offer children and families engaging programming and childcare on Sunday mornings and during our many special events throughout the year. Below you will find resources for parents and news about special events on our calendar. Be sure to also find out more about our Sunday programs for children at MPC by clicking here.
SPECIAL PROGRAMMING
AND EVENTS FOR CHILDREN
MPC Kids and families have chances to connect every week.
WEEKLY EVENTS
Tuesday Night Fellowship is a chance for children to enjoy fellowship and activities together in an outdoor environment. Each age-specific event includes music, activities, a devotional, and free-time to play. We also provide an optional “picnic dinner” for children to enjoy at the end of the event or take home with them. We meet from 5:30 p.m.-6:30 p.m. on Tuesdays.
Club 46 is a place where students in 4th-6th grades can get together, build relationships, and grow in faith. We meet about four times each semester, both on and off campus. Our activities include outdoor games such as capture the flag, field trips to nearby GA destinations, and service projects in the neighborhood. **

Staff and Volunteers
All adults who serve as leaders and caregivers for our MPC Kids have been trained by our staff and adhere to our church’s Child Protection Policy. This training allows us to properly equip and prepare individuals for their work with our children. Leaders and staff are thoroughly vetted, including the use of background checks, to ensure that we are offering a safe and loving environment at all times. All of our paid staff, as well as our regular volunteers, have shown proof of vaccination against the COVID-19 virus. If you have questions about our Child Protection Policy, email our Associate Pastor for Children’s Ministries, Amanda Kemery.
