Children’s Schedule

Convinced that both children and adults come to faith by the hearing of the Word, we encourage parents to have their children worship with them during a portion of the morning service so that our families may rejoice in God together and so that our children may learn to profit from the Word preached.

 

Nursery – Birth-three years

Our nursery workers are anxious to hold, love, and play with your babies or toddlers. We use the Children Desiring God, “A Sure Foundation” nursery curriculum to emphasize the attributes of God through simplified Bible stories. A “Cry Room/ Parent-Child Training Room” in the back of the Sanctuary with a crib, rocking chair, and changing area is also available, if you prefer.

 

Pre-School/Kindergarten – 9:30 a.m.

Our morning includes singing, Bible story time, crafts, puppets, and a character-building story, all designed to reinforce Scriptural principles.

 

Sunday School – 9:30 a.m.

Children begin by worshiping in song with their parents in the Sanctuary. At the offertory, they are dismissed to their classrooms downstairs.

1st-3rd Grades – The ABC’s of God

Right thinking about God is essential for the life of faith. Using the alphabet as a framework for teaching the attributes of God, this study explores the delight that God has in Himself as the source, means, and purpose of all things. Each lesson asks and answers three key questions: “Who is God?”, “What is He like?”, and “How should I act toward Him?”, as it presents the theology of God for children.

4th-5th Grades – How Majestic Is Your Name

The names of God are wonderful revelations of His majestic character. This study presents the Hebrew names of God in the Old Testament and the names of Christ and the Holy Spirit in the New Testament. Each lesson encourages children to see and rejoice in the goodness and greatness of God as they explore the meaning of His glorious names.

 

Children’s Music Class

Every six weeks our Music Team takes over the Sunday School hour and leads our 1st-5th graders in worship through music. This hour together includes singing the great hymns and songs of our faith, as well as learning about the Scriptures and stories behind them, and learning Scriptures through new songs. Games and an occasional craft that relates to the hymns are also part of our morning.

 

Children’s Second Hour – 11:30 a.m.

Something to Think About… Children in K-3rd grades meet in the Pre-K Room for a closer look at one verse of Scripture. A craft and Take-It-Away card help them bring the message home.

Who Cares? 4th and 5th graders meet upstairs on the back landing for fun Bible skits and activities based on God’s example of caring in the lives of men and women of the Old Testament.

 

AWANA Club – 5:00-6:30 p.m.

AWANA is an international Bible-centered, youth-oriented weekly club program. It uses Bible memory, biblical lessons, awards, exciting games, activities, music, fellowship and much, much more to mold young people’s values and build their characted to help them become the men and women God wants them to be.
