Kids

Kids programming (ages 0-4th grade) is available during the 9:00 & 10:30 hours.

When you check in your child, you will receive two stickers: a name tag and a guardian receipt. One sticker goes on the back (name tag). The other sticker (guardian receipt) you keep with you and present to the volunteer upon pick up. This security measure ensures that no child will be picked up without a matching sticker.

In order to provide the safest environment, we adhere to the following guidelines: 

• If your child has experienced any of the following in the last 48 hours, he/she is not allowed to join kids programming: fever, vomiting, colored nasal drainage, excessive runny nose, sore throat or diarrhea.
• If your child experiences any of theses symptoms during the morning, you will be asked to take them home.
• If your child stays home from school, please keep your child home from church until they are released to go to school again. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact us.

Nursery care is available during both the 9:00 & 10:30 am services.
Our nursery classes are led by loving and caring volunteers who take the responsibility of your child’s safety very seriously.  Our Walkers and Toddlers classes use the Beginner’s Gospel Story Bible to learn stories from the Bible each week. They also participate in music and coloring pages to go along with the stories we are learning.

Classes:
Infants (0-walking)
1s (walking through 24 months)
2s (2 years old through 3. Kids move up in January or June, whatever comes first after they turn 3)
Parent Paging System: If you have a child that is under 2 years old, a pager will be provided for you as you check in your child. Pagers are also available upon request for older children. If you are needed and your child does not have a pager, a kids ministry leader will find you during the service or class you are attending.
1:1 Child Help: If your child requires additional help during their class, please contact our kids ministry directors and we would be happy to pair them up with a trained volunteer.
 

Our Elementary ministry is for kids ages Kindergarten-4th grade. We offer this class during both the 9 & 10:30 hours on Sunday mornings. 
Here is a brief outline of what to expect:
What about the volunteers taking care of my kids?

• We keep updated background checks on all volunteers
• Volunteers receive yearly training in classroom management and security/safety procedures.
• Most importantly, our volunteers LOVE teaching your kids and showing them the love and joy of following Jesus.

What do kids do?

• Kids have an opportunity to be in their grade-level classroom where they participate in age-appropriate games, activities, crafts, prayer time and discussion based on the lesson.
• Kids enjoy a Large Group time where they worship through music, hear a Bible lesson and learn verses.

What do kids learn?

• Our time together is extremely valuable!  The volunteers focus their time on two things: building relationships with each kid and teaching them Biblical truth.
• The bible is the center of our teaching and worship time.  
• We go through the Bible chronologically, looking at how each individual story ties into the BIG story of God’s plan of redemption through His Son Jesus Christ.
• Our current curriculum is The Biggest Story.  To learn more about this curriculum, click HERE
