Littles [Birth - Kindergarten]
Littles Ministry welcomes children from birth through Kindergarten and meets at 9 and 10:45 on Sunday mornings. ZPC Littles focuses on creating a solid biblical foundation. All activities and lessons are constructed to help children better understand biblical truths while learning essential stories from the Bible. These classes provide age-appropriate worship and teaching, led by experienced, trained, and background checked volunteers who guide children as they explore and apply the truths of God’s Word.
We offer a nursery for ages birth through 35 months. Even at this young age, our Littles hold a Bible each week as they sing the song “Pat-Pat the Bible.” Our volunteers pray over each child and make sure each child hears that Jesus loves them. Three-year-olds through kindergarten attend a large group time with worship songs, bible skills, and a lesson rooted in Scripture that makes the Bible come alive. Following that large group time, children engage in crafts and games in small groups to reinforce the lesson while providing children with social interaction and age-appropriate fun.
ZPC Littles also provides opportunities outside of Sunday mornings for children and families to create authentic Christian relationships through social and serving opportunities.
If you’re a first-time visitor, save a few minutes by filling out our NextGen registration form beforehand. When you arrive on your first Sunday, go directly to the welcome desk and a volunteer will help you find your way to Littles.

ZPC NextGen Ministry Policies and Procedures
At ZPC, the safety, well-being, and spiritual growth of every child entrusted to our care is our highest priority. Our NextGen Ministry Policies and Procedures are designed to provide a safe, nurturing, and Christ-centered environment where children can learn, play, and grow in faith. These policies outline expectations for staff, volunteers, and families, and provide clear guidelines for how our ministry operates to ensure consistency, accountability, and care.
ZPC is committed to protecting children and youth from all forms of abuse. Our Sexual Misconduct Policy establishes strict guidelines and preventative measures to ensure the safety of every child in our care. All staff and volunteers undergo training and screening, and we maintain clear procedures for reporting and responding to any concerns. By following these policies, we create a space where children can thrive spiritually, socially, and emotionally—confident that they are safe, valued, and loved.
