  Nursery Ministry

(6 weeks - 2 years)

Rooms 116-119

Infants and toddlers learn that the church is a special place through the dedication and care shown to them by trained staff and volunteers.  We use the Little Blessings nursery curriculum as well as simple music, stories and games to teach of God's love.

Early Childhood

             (3 years - Kindergarten)

                 Rooms 121-126
Using the Movers and Shakers curriculum by Gospel Light teachers guide young children in learning the basic foundational concepts of faith.  Because they learn best through activity, play centers, art and music are used to reinforce the Bible lesson each week.

Cross Training

(1st - 4th Grade)

Rooms 213-218

CROSS TRAINING is the name of our Sunday school for elementary age children.  This unique approach to Bible teaching, created for varied learning styles, allows children to not only hear the lesson but to also be a "part of" the lesson so that they can apply it to every day life.  Just as an athlete "cross trains" in different activities to strengthen his/her body, children train in their knowledge of the cross through varied learning styles.  Over a 4 year period children learn 150 Bible stories with a core virtue and memory verse as the framework each month.   The same virtue is taught for 4 weeks, but the children experience it in a different room each time they are here: theater, game room, art room, and kitchen.  Children should check the board in the hallway on the second floor each Sunday or the link below to find out which workshop to attend.                                  Rotation Schedule

56 UNPLUGGED

(5th - 6th Grade)

Rooms 301-303

Preteens are a moving target.  Kids 5th & 6th grades are too old for children's Bible lessons, but too young for youth Bible lessons.  They need GRAPPLE - a preteen Bible curriculum that gets kids digging into the Bible to relate faith to real life and to find answers to questions they grapple with the most.

Sunday School classes are available for all children. Classes are divided according to age as of September 1st or grade in school. Two Sunday School hours are offered, one at 9:30 a.m. and one at 10:50 a.m. to accommodate those who attend the traditional worship services at 8:15 or 10:50 a.m. or the Celebration Praise and Worship Service at 9:30 a.m.

Each class is led by a team of dedicated teachers who present a strong Bible-based program and work to establish a close personal relationship with each child.

Volunteers are encouraged to serve during a one month rotation.  For more information please contact Anne, the Children's Ministry assistant.
