UPCLA | Children's Program

Our Mission Statement: UPC is dedicated to supporting the spiritual growth of all our children to ensure that they are raised in Christ with strong roots in the Bible and our spiritual community.

Our hope is that through discipleship, family involvement, and nurturing that our children grow up as strong witnesses in our community, whose influence will spread beyond just our church and touch the lives of many. We know that God uses each of us for His purpose, and we serve His purpose by building upon their God-given gifts and providing a solid foundation.

Children of all ages are welcome to participate.

Sunday School - 10:30AM
An excellent curriculum is available for Sunday School students. With energetic teachers, children explore the Bible through hands-on activities and Bible study.

AWANA Friday Program - 7:00PM
AWANA stands for "Approved Workman Are Not Ashamed" based from 2 Timothy 2:15, and is a structured, Bible-based, international club for boys and girls where trained leaders guide children through age-appropriate material.

The Purpose for AWANA is to reach boys and girls with the Gospel of Christ and to train them to serve Him.

Our Leadership team consists of members of UPC of all ages. Every leader has committed to a role in participating in the program and understand the importance of their part. Our leadership structure always starts with our Pastor Soon Chung. We have a program director, game coordinator, worship team, handbook leaders, and council time teachers for all age groups.
