Next Steps
Lots of Ways to Get Involved.
Sunday School (Newborn – 6th grade)
Sundays at 9:45am
When teaching your children, we want to give them a foundation for the faith they will continue to develop throughout their life. For this, we use Truth 78’s curriculum developed by Desiring God ministries. During the years that your child is in our children’s ministry, they will memorize Bible verses, learn the main storyline of the Bible, and study different primary beliefs of the Christian faith.
Nursery for Worship
Sundays at 11:00am
We offer what we call extended session. Children who are not yet in 1st grade can stay in our nursery where they will be cared for during the main service.
AWANA (2yr – 6th grade)
Wednesdays at 6:00pm
Wednesday evenings beginning in August and running thru May, we have our AWANA program which involves bible memory work, game time, theme nights, and AWANA only events. Children can participate in Puggles (2 year olds), Cubbies (Ages 3-5), Sparks (K, 1st and 2nd grade), and Truth & Training (Grades 3-6). The material has both in class and at home sections where you can see what we are teaching and review it with your kids.
F.A.Q.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does security look like for children?
Every child who comes to our children’s area during the service must be checked in with our main children’s desk. Also, once our service starts, all side entrances are locked so the only way in is through the main sanctuary.
When do kids start attending the main service?
Once a child reaches 1st grade, they become an active participant in our weekly worship. Worship is a wonderful time to model worshiping and learning to your child. Events such as baptisms, the Lord’s supper, and the preaching of God’s Word will allow you opportunities to discuss them with your child and teach them about our faith. We know sometimes kids can be rowdy and struggle to sit still, so feel no shame, and know we are thankful you and your kids are here.
So, prior to 1st grade, where do they go during the main service?
We offer what we call extended session. Children who are not yet in 1st grade can stay in our nursery where they will be cared for during the main service.
What if my child needs me during the service?
No worries at all! Our workers will see if they can meet the child’s need, get them a snack, or show them some cool toys to play with. If the child still needs you, we will have your number from check-in and send you a text/call you.
What are the requirements to be a childcare worker?
All of our workers must have a background check done, and must be members of our church. We do not let those we do not know serve. Our workers will have plenty of extra people nearby to help if any help is needed.
