Children’s Ministry
Nursery (Birth to age 5)
Babies and toddlers are always welcome to remain with you in worship. However, we know that sometimes parents just need a little break. On Sunday mornings and during special events during the week we offer a staffed nursery. All nursery attendants have had background checks and training in care for young children.
Faith Discovery Time
Your kids are curious and have their own developing spirituality. This time, traditionally known as Sunday School, is offered as an opportunity for children to discover and grow their own faith. During this time your kids will:
- Learn bible stories
- Discover heroes of the faith
- Practice different ways to pray
- Explore and describe their own beliefs
Worship
We believe it is important for families to be able to worship together. We also know that your kids may need something to do during the pastor’s message. During our Contemporary Worship service in the lower-level Coffee House, we offer:
- Family seating around tables
- Children’s message – kids can choose to come forward or remain at their seats to hear a message geared especially for them
- Activity tables – kids can choose to come to the tables to work on a supervised craft during the pastor’s message
- Picture Bibles and storybooks – kids can choose a book to read at the activity tables or take back to their seats
- Worship kits – binders with age based coloring and activity pages
Music & More Club (Mondays, 4-5pm)
Open to kids age 5-12, this weekday program provides an opportunity to:
- Sing, dance, and play rhythm instruments
- Enjoy a snack while hearing a bible story
- Work on special crafts or play games
Time Travel Camp (July 16 - 20, 2023)
During this VBS style summer event kids have the chance to discover and explore what life was like in the places and times of the stories in the Bible.
In July 2023 we travel to the land of ancient Rome in the time of Paul and the early church. Each day kids will:
- Sing together
- See and hear bible stories in action
- Play games kids might have played in Bible times
- Visit the marketplace for snacks and crafts
