Children’s Ministry

Sunday School 9:45 – 10:45am (Age 3 – Grade 5)

Children ages 3 – Grade 3 use the Godly Play curriculum.  The Godly Play© approach is based on Montessori principles and helps children explore their faith through story, wonder, and play.

Grades 4-5 use Colaborate by Sparkhouse to engage in conversation about God and what it means to follow Jesus as they dig into the Bible.

Nursery (Age 0 – 3)

Our infant and toddler nurseries are open throughout Sunday morning worship and Sunday School. Nursery care also is provided by reservation for all on-site meetings. Our trained nursery staff is a combination of adults and youth helpers who use Deep Blue for Toddlers and Twos to help our youngest learners through movement, songs, art activities, and more.

Children’s Message (All ages)

A special time is set apart toward the beginning of both worship services (8:45 and 11:00) for children to meet the pastor at the altar for a special message.

Children’s Church (Age 3 – Grade 3)

After the children’s message during the worship services, Children ages 3 – Grade 3 are invited to attend Children’s Church where the Godly Play curriculum is used to guide them through wonderful Bible Stories. The Godly Play© approach is based on Montessori principles and helps children explore their faith through story, wonder, and play.

Children’s Choir (Age 3-Grade 5)

Wednesday Family Night begins at 5:30 with a light meal followed by children’s choir and handbells, and studies for all adults and youth at 6 pm.

Acolytes

Elementary-aged children may participate in this important ministry in worship. Annual training is provided for those who will assist at the altar during the candle lighting, the offering, and Holy Communion.
