In the nursery, children will worship, play, and read stories about the life of Jesus as well as be prayed over by our loving volunteers. Here we will establish the roots needed for a lifelong love of Jesus!
This ministry enables parents to worship, attend classes, and serve knowing their child is in a safe environment with loving caretakers who are demonstrating and teaching them that they matter to Jesus.
Each volunteer submits an application and must clear a background check. A check-in process is in place to ensure that only the appropriate person is dropping off and picking up the child. The nursery is also inspected to make sure everything is baby safe.
In Kids Church, we focus on three main ideas: God made me, God loves me, and Jesus wants to be my friend forever.
We introduce kids to the large group/small group structure as well as introducing families to the partnership between parents and the church.
When kids leave the class they will know that God is real and that they can talk to Him at any time, at any place, and they will be ready to take their next step into Student Ministry.
Parents are encouraged to serve in preschool so they can learn and grow with their child. Children in this classroom must be potty trained.
Family events are designed for parents and kids to spend time together. Because we believe in partnering with (not replacing) parents, we invite parents to join in the fun with their children. These events are centered on fun for the whole family and are designed to be enjoyable to attend and easy to invite friends.
First and foremost, we want your kids to encounter Jesus – through the Truth of scripture and the relationships that we feel privileged to develop, every time we get together – that is our goal.
We don’t want your kids to just know the right answers, we want to help prepare them for adulthood by equipping them through the Bible to discover their true identity – in Christ!
