CHILDREN'S MINISTRY (K - 5th Grade)
Children’s Ministry Statement:
Our children’s ministry is for students in kindergarten through fifth grade. The purpose of our ministry is to partner with parents in loving and teaching their children the truths of God’s Word. We desire to lay a Biblical foundation in the lives of these children that will point them to Jesus as the one and only Savior and giver of eternal life. We desire to assist families as they disciple their children to grow in their faith, and to help them guide their children to discover their spiritual gifts and to use them to bring honor and glory to His name.
Children’s age Divisions for Sunday School: The Gospel Project Curriculum is used.
Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd Graders meet in Room A-209.
Third- Fifth Girls meet in Room A-207.
Third- Fifth Boys meet in Room A- 204.
The Sunday school begins at 9:30 a.m., and at 10:15 the children in these ages are led to the Worship Center. The children remain in the music portion of the service. After the music, the children in grades K- 2nd are taken back to Room A-209 for Children’s Church. Parents are asked to be prompt in picking up their children after the worship service.
On Wednesday Nights, children ages Kindergarten – 5th grade are signed in by their parents in our choir room (B-101) at 6:30 p.m. The children participate in a time of recreation, and then have Bible time led by Michelle Tootle. Parents are asked to come sign their children out at the close of the Wednesday night service. Usually this program concludes around 7:30 p.m.
On Sunday nights, the children come to the Choir Room (B-101) for a time of choir and missions. This begins at 6:00 p.m., and concludes at 7:00 p.m.
