Connecting Our Children to Jesus and Each Another

“Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.’” Matthew 19:14

“And he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them.” Mark 10:16

In many ways, not only does tomorrow’s church depend on our children, but so does today’s. Think about it. When was the last time the joy and faith of a child not lift your spirits? We all know we need to have faith like our children. That’s why the Children’s Ministry wants to instill a deep-rooted faith in our children early.

We appreciate you sharing your children with us. Each week we strive to present biblical truths in creative, memorable ways. We strive to partner with parents in modeling loving, Christian relationships. We strive to provide exciting opportunities for growth and learning. We do all of this knowing the importance of our responsibility: to begin a lifelong relationship with Jesus Christ.

Sunday Mornings

Each Sunday morning, we provide a cereal bar for children ages Preschool – Grade 5 to come and eat breakfast at 9:45 a.m..   Bible class follows.

K.F.C.

K.F.C. (Kids for Christ) is a worship service designed to interact with ages of Kindergarten – GRADE 5 as we teach them the value and important of worship and fellowship. The service involves lessons, music, activities, and more!

KFC meets at 11:00 a.m. every Sunday except for the last Sunday of each month so that the children can join our 11:00 a.m. Worship Service for Family Sunday!

Wednesday Nights

K.I.D.S.  (Kids in Divine Service) Zone meets each Wednesday evening from 6:30 – 8:00 p.m. for PRESCHOOL – GRADE 5 and includes pizza, crafts, games and Bible lessons each week.   Beach Pizza provides us with dinner each week.   Dinner starts at 6:30 and Bible class starts at 7:00.

We also have a kid’s choir that practices every Wednesday night while classes are in session.   They present the songs they learn to the church congregation throughout the year.

V.B.S.

V.B.S. (Vacation Bible School) is a fun-filled week of learning about God’s great love for each of us. It is a time for crafts, games, music, skits, contests, and great Bible lessons that will entertain and educate our younger ones (up to GRADE 5). It is something that children look forward to each summer.

Summer Camp

Each summer, our children get the opportunity to attend a great summer camp, where they get to meet new friends, make crafts, play games, participate in great outdoor activities like swimming, canoeing, archery and more, all in an environment that is safe and full of life-long lessons about the Good News of Jesus Christ! As summer approaches, you’ll find more information specific to our current summer camp plans, so check back later!
