Sunday School Hour (9:30am)
Nursery: Newborn to 3 year olds
In the babies and toddlers Sunday School we expose children to scripture memory and praise songs and include a time of play and crafts. Pick up is at 10:30am whenever parents get out of the Adult Sunday School class.
Pre-K & Kindergarten
Begins at 9:30am. Children have a time of worship through song, a Bible lesson with flannel graphs, small activities and snack. Pick up is at 10:30am so children can worship alongside their parents in Worship Service.
1st-6th Grade
Begins at 9:30am. Children are encouraged to bring their Bible every week as they will be looking at different passages of scripture in fun, interactive lessons. The curriculum being used in this class is from Answers in Genesis. Pick up is at 10:30am so children can worship alongside their parents in Worship Service.
Worship Service (10:45am)
We love having all ages worshipping together and incorporated into the main worship service. Below is more information about our children's ministry & how we seek to come alongside parents in their pursuit to train & disciple their children.
Nursery
0 - 3 years old
The nursery is open during the preaching portion of the Sunday worship service. Parents are welcome to drop their babies off with our volunteers at any point during the sermon.
Junior Church (PreK-Kinder)
3 years old - 6 years old
A Junior Church is provided for children ages 3-6 years old during the preaching portion of the Sunday worship service (children are dismissed at the start of the sermon). It is up to each family whether they choose to take advantage of this ministry or keep their children with them during the sermon. Children are taught God's Word from the Bible with curriculum from Answers in Genesis.
Kids in Worship Service
1st - 6th grade
In an effort to come alongside parents in their commitment to training and discipling their children through worship service, our Pastor creates a "Kid's Sermon Notes" sheet that helps the children follow along and engage with the sermon he has prepared. At the end of the service, children can line up at the front to show their notes and receive a little prize.
