Children

Welcome to our Children’s Ministry! It is our prayer and deepest desire that the Lord would use this ministry to help your child go deeper into God’s Word, grow in their relationship with Christ, and then be able to share the joy and love they have received from God with others.

We believe that parents are the primary disciplers of their children, and we desire to support you in this important responsibility. We provide materials for the parents to help disciple their children at home. Our Sunday School teachers are dedicated to sharing Christ through Bible lessons, activities, prayer and relationships. Our prayer is for each child to put their complete trust in Jesus so that they may be changed from the inside out. As a church we desire that each child would love Christ more every day, glorify Him in all that they do, say and think, and have a burden to share the love of Christ with others.

Nursery care will be provided every Sunday during our Classic Worship at 9:00am and our Modern Worship at 10:45am  Preschool (2-5 year olds) will have classes during both worship hours. The three check-in stations are the Nursery, Preschool Room B-9 and upstairs in Room 206. Please show your pick-up tag when you come for your Nursery through PreK children.

All elementary-age children will start with worship in Room 206 (Upper Level). They will be taken to and dismissed from their respective classrooms.

Calling all 3-5th graders: join us for Kids Wednesday Nights. Invite your friends!

Our Nursery

The nursery is located on the ground level across from the Fellowship Hall. Please bring your child to the Check-in Station in the nursery.

It is open to children from birth to age 2 on Sundays during the 9:00am and 10:45am services.

The nursery is staffed by a group of background checked volunteers who want to share the love of God with each and every child. Infants and toddlers enjoy age-appropriate toys that are sanitized after each service. We hope your child will enjoy his or her time as they take their first steps toward Jesus with us.

 

Children 2 to 5 Years of Age (Not Yet in Kindergarten)

The Preschool Sunday School Class meets downstairs in Room B-9 where your child will be personally greeted and checked in.

We have a dedicated team of trained Sunday School teachers who desire to teach God’s Word in a nurturing, fun and interactive environment as they pour into the lives of your children. Our Preschool Children’s Ministry is designed to assist parents in the spiritual training of their children. We are dedicated to teach God’s Word and love these little ones with the love of Christ. On Sunday mornings your child will participate in a Bible-based lesson, outside play, music, crafts, snacks, games and relationship building.

"We will not hide these truths from our children but will tell the next generation about the glorious deeds of the Lord. We will tell of His power and the mighty miracles He did.” 
Psalm 78:4

 

Children: Kindergarten through 6th Grade

Kinder - 6th Grade Sunday School meet during our Modern Worship at 10:45am. The three Check-In Stations are the Nursery, Preschool Room B-9 and upstairs in Room 206.  

Sunday Mornings

10:45 Service: K-6th grade, after check in, children head to room 206 for worship and then their teachers will take them to their classrooms. (They will be directed at check-in.)
