Children’s Educational Opportunities
Crib Nursery and Toddler Nursery (8:30 to 12:00)
Our nurseries minister to children as they begin from birth to learn about God through our love for them, teaching of God’s Word, and care for them and their families. Church staff members work in our nursery each Sunday to assure your child is greeted by a warm and familiar person.
Graded Sunday School programs (9:45-10:45 AM)
Live B.I.G. – Believing in God is the curriculum used to help
preschool, elementary, and middle school students live out their belief in God as they learn through music, art, discussion, education, hands-on activities and examples set by
enthusiastic real-life role models.
Preschool
Bongo the Puppet is a
weekly guest in the preschool room that helps children
learn the Biblical principal being taught that day.
Grade
1 – 5
Children have a room that is designed to resemble a SHIP – thus the name WorSHIP.
Emphasis is on creating a weekly worship experience in a
room designed to resemble a SHIP - and named The WorSHIP. Children experience contemporary music and a Bible Story on the big screen each week. Games and crafts are
part of the weekly learning experience.
Children’s Church for ages 4-7 during the 11:00 AM Traditional Worship
We feel that it is important for children to participate in the worship experience in many ways. During the 11:00
AM Traditional Worship a
Children’s Message offers a special time for children with their pastor. Following this children ages 4-7 are invited to their special Children’s Church with their
very own Worship Leaders in Room 104.
Wednesday Night Children' Hour (6:00 - 7:00 PM)
PRESCHOOL STUDENTS attend Choir and have a 30 minute Bible Fun Time. Bible Stories, verses, crafts and games are planned each week.
ELEMENTARY STUDENTS begin the hour with drama games emphasizing diction, memory work and movement on stage to prepare for a drama presentation. Choir rehearsal is the last part of the hour.
