Children Ministry

 

Our Priorities:

It is the desire of our hearts and our prayers that children will:

1. Come to know and love God through a personal faith in Christ.
2. Learn to worship God through prayer, music, giving, words and actions.
3. Receive instruction rooted in the Word of God at the appropriate age level.
4. Make practical application in their everyday world of what has been learned from scripture.
5. Learn to consider and appreciate others, and feel secure and loved in the church group.
6. Learn how to tell others what they have learned about salvation through Christ.

 Our Structure:

 Infants 0  to walking     -     Nursery I   

 Walking to 2 years        -     Nursery II 

 3 years to 5 years         -     Pre-K (potty-trained)  

Nurseries open at 9:15 AM for Sunday School.

Children remain in their classroom until the end of the Adult Worship Service.  

During the Worship service Extended Teaching Care {ETC} is offered for children 2 to 5 years (K)

 

Children's Church:  

Children (1st - 6th grade) join their parents in the auditorium at 10:45 AM  and participate in our family worship time.  They will be dismissed at 11:15 for Children’s Church.  Teachers use age appropriate lessons to excite children about the Lord Jesus and encourage them as they grown in their faith.  Keep in mind that the first Sunday of every month there will be no children's worship it is designed as a time of family worship.

Our paging system allows parents to relax in the knowledge that they can be contacted immediately, if a child becomes distressed.
