Littles [Birth - Kindergarten]
Little ones are full of curiosity—and so is God! In Littles, we help children explore faith through stories, songs, and hands-on activities. Kids discover God’s love, learn to care for others, and begin building a foundation for a lifelong relationship with Jesus.
Sunday mornings at 9 and 10:45 are the primary times for Littles Ministry. These classes provide age-appropriate worship and teaching, led by experienced, vetted volunteers who guide children as they explore and apply the truths of God’s Word.
Littles Ministry welcomes children from birth through Kindergarten. Each class includes Bible memorization, fun group lessons, music, and a hands-on craft—giving children opportunities to learn, play, and grow in faith in a safe and nurturing environment.
ZPC Littles provides several 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. Bring it with you on Sunday to the NextGen Hub. There you will be greeted by one of our friendly volunteers who can assist you. Our goal is to make your first time experience the best it can be.

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.
