Children's Ministry

Our desire is for children to grow like Jesus - in height, in wisdom, and in love for God and others.

Loving and Christ-centered care available for infants and toddlers at both 9 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. services, as well as Sunday PM.

9:00 A.M. BABY BIBLE CLASS

PRESCHOOL

Wiggles and giggles and music and friends are all a part of Sunday mornings as we learn about God and the relationship He wants to have with us. 9 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. include singing, a lesson, and plenty of activities to help preschoolers engage in Bible stories and enjoy the morning.

Using Orange First Look curriculum, we want kids to understand these basic truths:

  1. God made me
  2. God loves me
  3. Jesus wants to be my forever friend

ELEMENTARY

Creating environments that kids can't get enough of is what we strive for with Elementary age kids. We think that every child should be able to have a great time and leave with a valuable life lesson each week. Using 252 Basics curriculum from Orange, we want kids to understand three basic truths before they move on to Middle School:

  1. FAITH - I can trust God no matter what
  2. WISDOM - I need to make the wise choice
  3. FRIENDSHIP - I should treat others the way I want to be treated
9:00 A.M.

Kids will join in games, activities, and a lesson each Sunday with consistent small group leaders. The groups are divided by grade level, and the group leaders stay with their group all year. It's an excellent way for kids to build healthy relationships with other kids and adults while learning valuable truths.

10:30 A.M.

This service is geared just for K-5th graders with a large group Bible lesson, scripture, singing, and prayer. After a lesson time and a couple of songs, 4th and 5th graders go to their small groups to discuss how to do something with what they have learned. Kindergarten through 3rd graders sing a couple more songs and continue their discussion in the Connection Zone.
