Sunday Morning Children’s Activities
Children ages 3 and up are invited to take part in a Bible learning and worship experience each Sunday morning. Staff and volunteers use the Seasons of the Spirit curriculum, which takes us through the church year using the Revised Common Lectionary. These regular lessons are interspersed with other kinds of learning activities centered around the highlights of the church year such as Advent and Lent. Children begin in the worship service and after the Children’s Sermon (around 11:15 AM) move to nearby classrooms for their own age appropriate activities.
Weeknight Children’s Activities
Throughout the year, parents and children are invited to participate in crafts, games, and other activities to celebrate Thanksgiving, Christmas, Black History month, Easter, and other holidays.

Rutgers’ youth group is called S.K.A.T.E, which stands for Sanctuary for Kids of Acceptance, Trust, and Education. It is open to youth 13 years of age through seniors in high school and (usually) meets at 2pm on the first Sunday of each month - starting on Nov 6. Activities include: overnights at the church, out of the city retreats, service projects, and fun activities throughout the city.

Vacation Bible School
Every August, Rutgers Presbyterian Church invites children ages 4–11 to join us for a week (or two) of playtime, fun time, and Bible time. We most recently opened our hearts and minds to worship and play with the themes “Our Planet, Our Faith” and “To Mars and Beyond.” Information about dates, registration, and pricing and scholarships will be available in the first week of July. All are welcome.
