We believe that parents are the primary faith providers for their children. In today’s busy and complicated world, we welcome all when they can participate. We believe that children and youth are active participants of our faith community and welcome and encourage their participation in the life of this community. We believe we all learn from each other and each person present is a gift to our faith community. We believe that it is important to provide opportunities for children and youth to have their own time for faith formation. Younger elementary children use Godly Play (a Montessori-based curriculum) that allows children to experience Bible stories in a hands-on manner and to have the space to listen to God. Older elementary children gather and use “Growing in God’s Love” which covers many of the Bible stories, key people from the Bible and biblical themes. The lessons create opportunities for the children to be filled with wonder and learn together in imaginative, collaborative, and relational ways. Vacation Bible School and J.O.Y. Camp are offered in early June each year. Children ages five through 6th grade meet for a morning Vacation Bible School and an extended afternoon J.O.Y. Camp. Youth serve as “youth leaders” for the VBS. The VBS is led by volunteers of our church and open to all children in our community. Children and youth help lead the Christmas Eve worship service with the annual Christmas Pageant. At First Presbyterian Church of Anchorage we believe that the safety of children and youth who participate in our programs begins with the education of the adults of the church; both paid and volunteer. Therefore, we offer education and training in standards and practices of appropriate behavior with children and youth to staff and volunteers. We covenant each year before God that we will provide a safe and loving place for children and our youth where the integrity of all relationships will be preserved. This entails establishing safe practices, such as team teaching, constant supervision, well defined job descriptions, and ready access to program supervisors, ministry team members, and the elders responsible for children and youth programs. Safe practice also means screening all adults who work with children and youth. We also have clearly defined procedures for reporting a suspected incident of abuse that conforms to the requirements of state law; and will be prepared to respond to media inquiries if an incident occurs. The First Presbyterian Church Keeping the Church Safe for Children and Youth policy is reviewed and updated at a minimum every three years. The policy applies to all employees and volunteers of FPC who work with children and youth. The purpose of the policy and accompanying procedures is to demonstrate our absolute and unwavering commitment to assure the physical and emotional safety and spiritual growth of all children and youth attending First Presbyterian Church of Anchorage. Our intent is to protect children and youth in all church programs, to educate workers and caregivers concerning pertinent issues, and to protect staff, volunteers, and the church itself from potential allegations of abuse and neglect. The policy is in effect anytime a program is offered at FPC whether the program is in the building, off-site or virtual. Please contact our front office if you would like to see a copy of the full policy.

LET US NOT GIVE UP MEETING TOGETHER, AS SOME ARE IN THE HABIT OF DOING, BUT LET US ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER - AND ALL THE MORE AS YOU SEE THE DAY APPROACHING. # **MISSIONAL COMMUNITY** ### [First Presbyterian Church](https://www.firstpresanchorage.org) Life Groups are an essential part of our church, as they provide a place where deeper fellowship and better support for one another can take place. Considering that the early church worshipped in large settings in the synagogues as well as in homes, we unite together similarly in order to be in deeper fellowship with God and one-another. God has reconciled us not only to Himself but also to each other. This "each other" is called His Church. Thus, we intentionally strive toward community through men's/women's groups, home gatherings, and other personal settings. We have been created to live in community and not in isolation. Physically, we do live in a community, but spiritually, socially, and relationally we often live our lives in isolation. We find ourselves with no one to turn to when we have a major issue that has just surfaced in our life. Living in community affords us the opportunity to more wholly experience God through close relationships as we play and pray together, as we encourage and help one another, and as we study and live out God’s word together. We believe the church is the family of God called to live on mission to advance His Kingdom. Because we are God's children through Jesus, we are to live as brothers and sisters. The church is not a building, place, or program, but God's people. Living in community with one another is essential to growing in the Gospel and becoming more like Christ. Showing up to a Sunday gathering is great, but it is our desire to see everyone involved in a Missional Community. A Missional Community is not a mid-week program, but a family of missionary servants who are making disciple-making disciples daily. We would love to see all of our Missional Communities hanging out throughout the week, eating meals together and serving their neighborhoods. It is not something you check off a list, but a way of doing life. Currently, we have seven Missional Communities and are multiplying continually. Copyright 2025 First Presbyterian Church.

Loving parents long to see their children fly, to soar above the stuff of this world and to succeed in life. God is a loving parent and He wants to see us fly! Flying requires confidence! Ultimate Confidence is the kind of basic spiritual confidence that provides the foundation and framework for general life confidence. In our passage this week we learn about the basics of this kind of confidence. Copyright 2025 First Presbyterian Church.

12:00 pm We consider all of you to be part of the First Presbyterian family. Our congregation is a diverse reflection of our city, state, nation, and world and we are happy to include you. Sunday worship service starts at 11 am except during summer months (May 31 - September 13) we meet at 10 am. We are on the Anchorage Park Strip on the corner of 10th Avenue and G Street with ample parking in front of and behind the church. Our street address is 616 W 10th Ave Anchorage, AK 99501. Children are welcome to stay throughout the service with their families, however, we also offer a staffed nursery for parents with children 5 years old and younger. Our preschoolers and elementary age kids typically stay in worship through the children’s message and then leave for a time of faith formation. This includes activities, lessons, and service projects. Our services usually last about an hour and we invite all members and guests to gather for coffee, tea, cookies, and fellowship afterwards. Our church is guided by a mission statement to Serve. We seek to live out these actions each Sunday and throughout each week. These things are done in many ways. Each person that walks through the door brings with him or her a unique personality and set of gifts. We believe when we gather with a diverse group of people, we grow closer to the image of God. Through the building of healthy relationships, the disciplines of prayer and the study of Scripture, and service to the people near us and around the world, we strive to grow closer to God, as we live out the command to love God with all our heart, mind, and strength, and to love our neighbor as ourselves. If you decide to come to worship, please ask for me by name, and I will be glad to answer any questions you might have. I look forward to meeting you! Copyright 2025 First Presbyterian Church.

Our service activities are in alignment with our overall church goal to SERVE, as well as the PC(USA) Matthew 25 initiative designed to build cultural vitality as we grow in understanding and consider ways to respond to issues such as structural racism, eradicating systemic poverty, and the intersectional priorities of climate change, gender justice, and militarism. *“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes, and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.”* Matthew 25:35-36 The ECWS provides clean, stable, safe shelter for families in need. First Presbyterian along with friends provides volunteer staff Mondays at 5:00 pm - Tuesdays 8:00 am, as well as the Monday evening meal, and Tuesday breakfast. Many hands make light work - there are many options for small commitments to support the ongoing work. If you want to help, but feel unsure about how, please talk to one of the coordinators. (Danna Larson, Lorissa Jackson, or Marcus Geist) Senior Box Build Monthly, usually the second Wednesday of each month from 9am-Noon. Work in an assembly line to fill boxes for distribution to seniors across the state. Our goal is to collect 100 pounds of rice/pasta each month. During Faith Formation for Chidren, the students bag 100 pounds of rice on the fourth Sunday of each month. Adults may participate in bagging pasta following the worship service. A pasta collection tub is located in the narthex. On a Sunday when many enjoy the Super Bowl football game, let us be mindful of those who are without a bowl of soup to eat. Christian Education will work with the youth to coordinate this event. All are encouraged to donate cans of soup. When we Unite together, a spark of hope unites an entire community. In conjunction with United Way and Enstar Natural Gas, the purpose of this walk is to raise awareness and funds for families and individuals who are struggling to meet the expenses of utility bills. The walk begins at First Presbyterian on a Saturday morning each February. We send cards each Easter and Christmas season to the female prisoners in the Hiland Mountain Facility near Eagle River. We write notes of encouragement . We also support the “Running Free Alaska,” a program designed to make a positive difference in the lives of incarcerated Alaska women by either volunteering time and/or funds. Excellent opportunity for families and people of all ages to enjoy a small community garden. Harvested food is shared with Lutheran Social Services. Volunteers needed for about an hour/week to water, weed, and harvest. Children walk to the garden during Godly Play a few times each season, as weather permits. An opportunity for our congregation and community to purchase gifts that support a variety of missions. Volunteers are needed to set up the Market, staff mission tables, and take down tables and clean up after the Market. Families and people of all ages are encouraged to participate in this event in coordination with the Food Bank of Alaska and local faith communities to ensure all families have the opportunity to enjoy a holiday meal. First Presbyterian helps collect over 500 cans of corn. This project serves to continue a relationship with people of Gambell that began when members of First Presbyterian helped build a church/community center. When asked how we could continue to support them, they requested we send socks to the community Christmas party. All can donate socks and candy canes. download a summary of First Presbyterian Church's opportunities to serve others throughout the year Copyright 2025 First Presbyterian Church.
