We are here to encourage and support parents in helping kids love God with all their heart, soul, and strength. It’s our privilege to be an extension of the home by responding to the call to make disciples. We value the role of hands-on intergenerational community in the spiritual formation of children.
“And Jesus took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them.” Mark10:16
The Sunday school hour sits between the two worship services at 9:45 a.m. During the school year, Sunday school is offered in age-appropriate settings. Family registration is required.
Preschool
DiscipleLand is our very fun preschool curriculum. Preschool 1 is a class for kids who are 3 years old at the time the school year begins. The Preschool 2 class is for kids who are 4 and 5/Prekindergarten.
Elementary
The Workshop Rotation is the format for our Sunday school. It’s an innovative way to experience Sunday school that takes seriously the spiritual development of children while providing exciting activities to engage them in a new level of learning and retention. Kindergarten through fifth grade kids rotate with their “Shepherd” to a different workshop each Sunday.
Children’s Church is a place for kids to worship the Lord kid-style! Potty trained 3 yr. olds through 3rd grade children are dismissed during the Sunday worship service and go to the Children’s Chapel downstairs in the children’s wing.
Crew Kids are 4th, 5th, and 6th graders who have applied for a leadership position in the Children’s Church ministry. Crew Kids help young children know God better through Bible stories, puppet skits, prayer, songs, and dance. Everyone wants to be a Crew Kid!
Babies to 3 year olds
The Nursery Ministry is honored to help parents disciple their children to know and love Jesus. Our team of CPR certified staff and volunteers are excited to provide a safe and fun environment for your little one, while allowing you to be in worship and in community.
The nursery is available during all worship services and most special events. We ask that your child meet our health guidelines posted at the sign-in window. Parents are issued a pager for easy access.
Also know that we would be happy to have you join us as a volunteer. You’ll just need to submit a volunteer form. This would be a great way for you to see first-hand what your little one is experiencing in our nursery.
For more information about the nursery please feel free to contact Chanel Jack at 352-3030.
1st grade through 5th grade
