Infant and Toddler Nursery
Each Sunday Morning during both our 8:45am and 10:30am Worship Services, nursery is provided for your children 3 years and younger. The nursery seeks to provide a safe and fun atmosphere for younger children in which they can make friends, play, and experience God’s love through their interactions with our vetted nursery volunteers. The nurseries open around 10 minutes prior to both Worship Services start time.
Neighborhood Kids (Age 3 through 5th Grade)
Each Sunday Morning during both our 8:45am and 10:30am Worship Services, children ages 3 through 5th grade are dismissed from the auditorium prior to the sermon so they can learn together from God’s Word in a more age-appropriate setting while still having an opportunity to spend part of the morning worshiping God through song with their family.
During first service, we use the “Gospel Story Curriculum,” which teaches children that the Bible is one continuous story pointing to Jesus as the Hero. Designed to span three years, the 156 lessons present key stories from Genesis to Revelation, each highlighting God’s plan of redemption in a way that’s engaging, interactive, and easy to understand.
For children in grades 3rd-5th, will go through our “Kids Connect” curriculum which is developed to be more age appropriate for this age group.
If you have any questions about first service Neighborhood Kids, contact Sommer Powers through the church office.
During second service, we use the Truth78 Sunday School curriculum. Truth78 is committed to developing resources and training that are God-centered, Bible-saturated, Gospel-focused, Christ-exalting, Spirit-dependent, doctrinally grounded, and discipleship-oriented where God is always the main character in each lesson. The curriculum encourages each student to discover, develop, display, and declare joy in God! We incorporate music, Bible study, and verse memorization in our class time, while encouraging involvement in giving and missions in order to help each child learn to delight in God above all else.
We would love to come alongside you in helping your children come to know the greatness of God and discover more about the One who can satisfy all our longings. For more information, contact Susan Sjoberg through the church office.
The First 20 class is available for both first and second service during the worship and announcement time for children age 4 – 5th grade whose parents will not be in the main worship service. First 20 seeks to provide parents safe and exciting childcare prior to children heading to their Neighborhood Kids classes. If you would like more information on “First 20,” reach out to our Youth Pastor, Noah Hadden through the church office.
AWANA (Preschool through 8th Grade)
The acronym AWANA comes from the first letters of the phrase “Approved workmen are not ashamed” (2 Timothy 2:15). AWANA is a nondenominational Bible-centered ministry committed to the evangelism and discipleship of children and youth with the desire that they would all come to know, love and serve the Lord Jesus Christ.
Our AWANA club meets weekly on Wednesday evenings from 6:00pm to 7:45pm for kids from preschool up through Junior High. Our program involves playing age-appropriate games, memorizing Bible verses, and participating in large-group Bible teaching. Parents are welcome to come anytime during the club and watch.
