Children, Youth and Families | Knox Presbyterian Church

Vacation Bible School

We are super excited to announce that we will be hosting a Virtual VBS this summer!!!!!! Please join us August 10 – 14th as we work on building our faith with Jesus as our foundation.

Look up—way up. That’s where we’re headed. Where I-beams float

effortlessly high overhead, carefully guided into place by powerful

machinery. Where steel and glass converge in a colossal design that appears to almost touch the sky. These magnificent structures were elaborately designed and intricately built. Yet they all began the same way—with concrete and cranes, rivets and rebar, bulldozers and backhoes; and most importantly, a solid foundation. This summer kids will learn that Jesus’ love will provide a foundation that lasts.

We will be using a combination of Zoom based live feed and email videos to help make VBS as accessible as we can for all families. There will be VBS packages dropped off prior to the beginning of the week to ensure you have all the supplies needed to participate in all the activities.

If you would like to sign-up please call the church at 705-435-5081 or email Samantha at knoxalliston.ce@gmail.com. Space is limited.

Church School

Each week we gather in groups according to our ages and interests in order to meet the lesson in various ways. We engage with the same story and themes as the adults so we all have something to discuss together when we get home.

Youth Group

We currently have a youth group open to anyone in Grade 6 or older. We meet twice a month, this allows us to have one social night and one study night. We are currently looking at several different topics from the Re:form youth study. Our youth are also very involved in giving back to the community, this winter we have raised money for Out of the Cold, as well as made meals for the program. If you or someone you know is looking for a youth group, please feel free to contact the church for more information.

Knox Child’s Play

One of our most popular community out reach programs is the Monday morning play group. This group is aimed for stay-at-home parents/care givers and their little ones. We meet from 9:30 am to 11:30 am every Monday, remember this is a drop-in program so you are welcome at any time. For more information please contact church.

Intergenerational Events

As well as having a designated youth group, we like to encourage events where all members of our congregation can come together for a time fellowship. We aim to have one intergeneration every two months. One of our most popular events was our Fall into Fall nature hike at Earl Rowe. Not only were we able to pool our nature knowledge together to complete our scavenger hunt, we were also able to get a detailed history of the park.
