children

Classes are structured so that we have teams of people working together to provide a quality teacher/child ratio at all levels.

Classroom responsibilities are divided among the grade level team.

A Lead Teacher in each classroom is responsible for spiritual oversight, order and structure.

Nursery 0 – 12 months
Toddlers 12 – 24 months

Each precious baby in our care enjoys a safe, loving and stimulating environment that is characterized by God’s nurturing presence.

Age appropriate toys, games and music fill our brightly decorated and entertaining rooms.

Children’s Ministry

Our Mission

Train up a child in the way he should go, even when he is old he will not depart from it.
Proverbs 22:6

This environment is created in grade level classrooms where children learn stories from the Bible, worship, complete theme crafts and learn monthly memory verses. Our classroom settings allow for relationships to be developed between children and their teachers.

Our children’s curriculum takes the children through the Bible four times by the end of their 5th grade year. We use Gospel Light as our anchor and enhanced materials and presentations we have developed over the years.

Nursery & Toddlers

We have a Nursing Mothers’ room across the hall from the nursery. where moms can view the service
in privacy.

Toddlers (those who are walking and approximately 12 to 24 months) have a monthly teaching picture. We provide practical ideas for parents to use with their children at home to create a connection between church and home.

Events & Programs

Children’s Christmas Programs: An experience for children to grow in their understanding of the true meaning of Christmas.

Vacation Bible School: Held during the summer to touch our own children, their friends, and those in the community. We sing songs, play games, make crafts, learn Bible memory verses, hear Bible stories, and participate in mission’s projects.

Kid’s Camp: Boys and girls in the 4th - 6th grades have one week of fun at Old Oak Ranch. This is a wonderful opportunity for the kids to grow in their own spiritual life and develop friendships.

Harvest Celebration: Held in October, families can enjoy great fun and fellowship at this Halloween alternative.

Special Social Events: Held at various times throughout the year. Boys & girls in the 4th - 6th grades have opportunities to make new friends, strengthen relationships with their teachers and others while having a great time!

2’s - Kindergarten &

Children in these age groups learn about God through Biblical teaching, exciting crafts, worship, and learning center activities. The 2’s-Kindergartners also enjoy snack time, games and special time on our playground.

Each month a new Bible verse is taught and the children receive encouragement for memorization.

Our goal is that each child will not only hear the timeless stories in the Bible, but also experience them and their unchanging truths in a variety of ways while incorporating God’s Word into their daily lives.

With help in understanding the existence and nature of God, salvation, and spiritual authority, our children will be equipped to navigate through the waters of today’s culture.
