Kids Ministry (Nursery - 6th grade)
Our Kid’s Ministry is dedicated to nurturing the faith of the future generation. We provide a safe, loving environment where infants through 6th graders can learn about God’s love by hearing stories of God’s redemptive plan shared throughout the Bible. Using age-appropriate lessons and activities, we aim to lay a firm foundation of faith that God will build upon throughout their lives.
Nursery (0-2 years)
Our Nursery provides a safe, loving environment for our littlest ones. Trained volunteers ensure each child receives personal attention and care, allowing parents to worship with peace of mind. We introduce simple Bible concepts through songs, stories, and play in order to lay the earliest foundations of faith.
Preschool (3-5 years)
In our preschool ministry, we create a fun, nurturing space where young children begin to explore God’s love. Through age-appropriate activities, Bible stories, and songs, we help build a strong spiritual foundation. Our dedicated team ensures a secure environment where preschoolers can learn, grow, and experience God’s love firsthand.
Children (1st-6th grade)
Our Children’s Ministry is designed to help elementary-aged kids understand their need of a Savior and how to have a personal relationship with Jesus. We offer engaging, Bible-based lessons that encourage children to apply God’s Word to their daily lives. In a safe and welcoming atmosphere, we foster friendships, encourage questions, and guide children as they grow in their understanding and love for God.
Check out the different ways we minister to this age group below:
Children stay with their families during the beginning of the Sunday morning worship service and then are called to participate in a Children’s lesson at the front of the church. Once this is completed, they are dismissed to Children’s church which is a special learning time tailored for our children from ages 4 to 7. Led by caring and dedicated teachers, Children’s Church provides a nurturing environment where kids can learn about Jesus through interactive lessons, fun activities, and simple crafts. Each week, the children explore biblical truths in ways they can understand and apply to their young lives.
AWANA is a vital part of our children’s ministry, grounded in 2 Timothy 2:15: “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.” This long-standing, globally recognized program is available to our children from age 3 through 6th grade. Starting with Cubbies (age 3-4), and progressing through Sparks and T&T clubs, AWANA combines Bible memorization, fun games, and engaging activities to help children internalize God’s Word and apply it in their daily lives.
TEAM Kids is our vibrant Wednesday night program for children ages 4 through 6th grade. This exciting weekly gathering offers a mix of fun activities, music, and Bible stories, all designed to help our young ones grow in their faith. Once a month, TEAM Kids joins with the youth group for special games and fellowship, fostering connections across age groups. During TEAM Kids, children also participate in Hallelujah Hands practice, learning to express their worship through movement. It’s a dynamic, engaging environment where kids can learn about God’s love while building lasting friendships.
Hallelujah Hands is a unique and inspiring program that teaches children the beautiful art of signing to music. In this ministry, kids learn to express worship songs through sign language, adding a powerful visual dimension to music. Our young signers have the wonderful opportunity to present their learned pieces during worship services and special events. This program not only enhances our worship experience but also helps children develop confidence, teamwork skills, and a deeper connection to the lyrics they’re signing in praise to our great God!
Our annual Vacation Bible School is a week-long summer adventure filled with fun, creativity, and spiritual growth. Designed for children from 3 years old to 6th grade, VBS provides an immersive experience to learn more about having a personal relationship with God. Each evening includes age-appropriate small group Bible lessons, creative crafts, delicious dinner, high-energy recreation, and lively music throughout the week.
