Calling all children to grow in Jesus!
There are various learning opportunities for children. For preschool through elementary grades, these include age-level classes for children during the Equipping Hour (Sunday School) and children's church experiences called Little Blessings and Children's Church during the worship time. Grades seven through twelve meet during the Equipping Hour in the youth room (down the stairs in the back of the stage off of our fellowship hall). Infant care is available all morning on the second floor. (Note to newcomers, the church front doors open to the second floor. The parking lot doors open to the first floor.)
INFANT CARE
NEWBORNS UP TO 30 MONTHS OR UP TO KINDERGARTEN FOR THE 8:30 SERVICE
Infant childcare is provided in our Nursery located in Room 211 from 8:15 a.m. to noon. You'll be asked to sign in and offered a pager so we can keep in touch with you as you enjoy Worship, attend an Equipping Hour class, serve in a ministry, or participate in a special event in the church building. Swing by and see the warm, loving environment of this ministry space which includes ample "crawl space!"
EQUIPPING CLASSES (SUNDAY SCHOOL) 9:45-10:45 AM
CHILDREN'S CLASSES - FOR TWO-YEAR-OLDS TO SIXTH GRADE
You simply need to head to classroom 209 to sign your child in, where our dedicated ministry team of volunteers waits to greet each child at 9:45 a.m. (Classroom locations are displayed on the doors at the end of the second floor hallway which is on the sanctuary level.) We are committed to filling that hour with opportunities for your child to dig deep into God's Word for understanding and truth, practice praise and prayer, and explore what being a disciple of Jesus Christ is all about through storytelling, drama, music, and art.
YOUTH CLASS - FOR SEVENTH THROUGH TWELFTH GRADERS
Join us every Sunday morning in the Youth Room for Bible-based instruction to meet the challenges of living in our modern-day society. The Youth Room is located below the first floor level. Go down the stairs in the back corner of the stage off of Fellowship Hall to the Youth Room. Fellowship Hall is on the ground level when you enter from the parking lot.
CHILDREN CHURCH
LITTLE BLESSINGS - CHILDREN'S CHURCH FOR PRE-SCHOOLERS
While parents enjoy 11:00 a.m. Worship, two-year-olds through five-year-olds/PreK are invited to Room 209 for creative play, Bible storytelling, music, and art. Dress-up costumes, games, building blocks of all shapes and sizes, a library of books, and a fully stocked 'kitchen' make for a fun time each and every week.
CHILDREN'S CHURCH - FOR KINDERGARTEN-4TH GRADE
Children, kindergarten through 4th grade, enjoy worship at 11:00 a.m. with their families until they are dismissed during the service to head to our Children's Church classroom. The children are learning how to help and share with others by learning about missionaries and their experiences, working on our special card and placemat ministries, preparing for our seasonal visits to nearby retirement communities, and having a fun time growing as disciples of Jesus Christ. It's all about being in mission in fun and loving ways!
SPECIAL EVENTS - FOR ALL CHILDREN
Throughout the year there are special activities for our children such as Vacation Bible School in June, Easter activities, delivering Thanksgiving baskets to our shut-ins, Love boxes, Pumpkin prayer party, and a Christmas birthday party for Jesus!
