We love children and plan many ministries to teach them about God and His church. Our Children's workers are especially gifted, dedicated and experienced. Be assured that your child is important to us and a safe space is provided for them. In addition, each childcare worker is required to undergo a rigorous criminal background check. Recognizing that parents are the primary example and teachers of their children, we strive to assist families in that effort while under our watch-care. Our motto is: Connecting Church, Family & Home. So that you, the parent, may be better informed we provide the following on-going activities. Other developing ministries will be added at a later time, so keep checking back.
Sundays:
9:45 AM -- Sunday School for all age groups. Babies and Toddlers (Birth through 3 years old)
Preschool (4-5 year olds)
Grades 1-2
Grades 3-5
Grades 6-8
11:00 AM -- Children's Worship. The younger children (ages 4 through the second grade) will be dismissed to another location for Children's Worship. Parents may pick up their children at the 1st and 2nd grade classroom.
During the Year:
Easter Egg Hunt, March or April
After the 11:00 AM worship service, children up to 12 years old will assemble for a traditional egg hunt. Start your Easter tradition with this event, then the afternoon and evening is yours to enjoy family, friends, food and remembering the new life that Christ gives!
Vacation Bible School, June
The theme changes each year for VBS, but the adventure begins the third week in June with a meal for all the children and a snack later in the evening. Then the kids rotate to different locations in the church and participate in activities that teach about Jesus. The finale of VBS, a "Parents Night", is scheduled and the children are able to show their parents what they learned.
December, Children's Pageant
Dates vary, but the Children start practicing for this event in early September. Depending on the leader, the Pageant may include a children's choral presentation or a play. Please look for date and times as we approach the month.
Fall Festival
Fall Festival. This is a great time for families and especially the children to dress up in costumes and enjoy the food, fun and fellowship. Activities include costume judging, games and hay rides. The evening ends in a "Trunk-or-Treat" activity.
