Bigs are ready to ask bigger questions and take bigger steps in faith! Through fun lessons, games, and community, we help children connect with Christ, grow in friendships, and see how God is at work in their everyday lives.
At 9 and 10:45 am on Sunday mornings your child will be welcomed into the room with worship music, laughter, and smiling faces. This time consists of intentionally planned worship, lesson, games, activities, and small group discussion.
ZPC Bigs provides several opportunities outside of Sunday mornings for children and families to create authentic Christian relationships through social and serving opportunities.

Bible Dedication
Bible Dedication Class is a ZPC tradition for our 3rd and 4th graders. Over the course of four weeks, children attend a class to learn more about what the bible is, why we have it, how we got it, and how to use it. At the end of the class, parents present their child with a special bible during worship service.

NextGen Policies
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.
