Nursery (Newborn - 2 years)
We have 3 rooms dedicated to those under the age of 5 and our first room includes those newest to this world! We have volunteers in this room each week that take care of and love on your sweet little ones.
Toddlers (2-3 years old)
Our next room, possibly our most populated room, is where our 2-3 year olds play every Sunday and Wednesday. These littles are in the process of learning how to speak, walk, and be their own person all with the help of our volunteers during the few hours that we have them. We spend the majority of our time together having tons of fun and learning to love and be kind to others as we develop!
Pre-K & Kindergarten (4 - 5 year olds)
Our 4 and 5 year olds have their own room where they have a lesson every week. We use a Kids Devotional Bible where a teacher reads 2 or 3 pages of a Bible story to them and they usually have some kind of activity or craft to help keep the lessons fresh on their minds as they go through their week. After their lesson and snack, we talk through their week with them and then let them play until service is over!
Elementary Kids (1st grade - 5th grade)
Our main kids area consist of what we call "the big kids." These are kids usually ranging from ages 6 to 11, grades 1st through 5th. Every Sunday morning and Wednesday night they have an interactive lesson followed by a game or craft that brings the lesson together. We strive to create an atmosphere for our children to have a true encounter with the Holy Spirit at a young age all while having some fun!
Two verses that we often talk about in all areas of our children are
-
Proverbs 22:6 "Train up a child in the way he should go: even when he is old, he will not depart from it."
-
1 Timothy 4:12 "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and purity."
