CHILDREN'S MINISTRY

Experiencing Life Through the Eyes of a Child

“We will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, His power, and the wonders He has done.” Psalm 78:4

The purpose of our Children’s Ministry is to “glorify God by telling children from the earliest age about Jesus, teaching them the truths of God’s Word, bringing them to the knowledge of salvation through Jesus Christ, and training them to pursue a daily relationship with Him.” Because we realize that the early years of a child’s life are crucial for helping them know Jesus, we are committed to laying a spiritual foundation for each child. We desire to create a loving atmosphere that will help nurture children to reach their full potential for God.

Nursery Infants (Birth - 12 months)
& Toddlers (13 months - 2 years)

Loving volunteers provide quality care for babies at all of our services. Our staff is sensitive to the desires and worries of new parents. In order to help families feel comfortable in leaving their child, we provide visual pagers in the auditorium as well as beepers for easy notification if parental assistance is needed.

Preschool Ages 2 - Pre-K

Our preschoolers learn about God’s love for them as faithful leaders share truths from God’s Word each week. We use object lessons, Bible stories, activities, and personal example to communicate biblical principles.

Junior Kids Church - Ages 3 through 5

Elementary
Kindergarten through 4th Grade

During the elementary years, children’s hearts are usually sensitive to spiritual matters and they may begin to explore biblical concepts. Frequently, children in this age group make the life-changing decision to become a Christian. It is our goal to provide a loving atmosphere where they can learn how to know Jesus Christ.

The Bridge 5th and 6th Graders

In our fast paced society, the pre-adolescent years are crucial for this age group. As we teach them the truths of God’s Word and encourage them to have a personal relationship with Christ, we provide a secure environment that allows 5th and 6th graders to develop a close walk with Him.
