Children's Ministry
We want our children to acquire a "taste for God's grace" by creating an environment where He will take hold of their lives and prepare them for a life of service. Here are some of the ways we do this.
Sunday Morning Worship:
Nursery (0-12 months, meets in room at bottom of front stairs, on lower level)
See & Know (12 months-3 years, meets in the classroom adjoining the nursery)
Children's Church (3 yrs-kindergarten, meets downstairs) & KFC ("Kids For Christ,"
1st-5th grade, meets in the Chapel in the East Wing, upper level) - Preparation
for lifelong worship.
Family Worship - Every last Sunday of the month all families sit together in
worship
Sunday School Classes for 1st & 2nd-graders, 3rd & 4th-graders, and 4th & 5th-graders meet downstairs from 11:00am-11:50am.
On Sunday nights, all children through 5th-grade meet from 6:00-7:00pm. This is a time of fun and games where children can bring their friends! It also provides time for their parents to meet in various groups around the church.
On Wednesday nights, 6:45-8:00pm, our children play a game, have a lesson time, and sing some songs. Right now they're learning the OT Books and memorizing scripture. We also have a Handbell Choir and a (vocal) choir for the kids. They meet during the last half hour of Wednesday nights.
Some other regular events are VBS (last year we had almost 70 kids!), Summer Camp, Easter Egg Hunt, Fall Festival (Halloween alternative), Jesus' Birthday Party, Christmas Nativity Reenactment (the kids get to play dress up and act out the story), and a baseball game, to name a few. We also have a great Children's Library with books and videos!
