Child and Youth Programs
at the First Congregational Church of Billerica

The First Congregational Church of Billerica provides adult-supervised child care for infants and toddlers during the church services from September to June, from 10:00-11:00 a.m. Children are also welcome in the regular worship services, including partaking in Communion if parents desire it.

Classes for ages 3 through 12th grade are held at the same time as the church services. On many Sundays the children spend the first part of the service with the adults, participating in a special Children's service offered by the Pastor. Afterward, they go to their classes in our Sunday School area downstairs. Our facility also has a chapel which can be used for special children's programs and helps us prepare children for full participation in the service when they are ready.

Our curriculum is called the Witness program, which is based on Bible stories with everyday life applications. The children also participate in a mission project during Lent.

Our youth program is called the Pilgrim Fellowship (the PF) and includes young people from grades 5 through high school. Grades 9-12 are in the Sr. PF; grades 4-8 are in the Jr. PF. PF meets on Sunday evenings and focuses on offering opportunity for Fellowship, Service - and FUN!

Enrollment

To enroll in Sunday School, each child's caregiver fills out a registration form with emergency contact information and any special concerns regarding the child.

Forms are available in the Sunday School Office on the lower level of the church, at the street end of the building, or in the classrooms.

To join PF, the young person needs his/her parents or guardian to fill out similar emergency information. Forms (link) are available from PF advisors.
