Children's Ministry

Nursery + Preschool

(Birth-Pre-K) Our nursery provides a safe, clean, and loving environment for your baby during our services. We are ready to help your little one grow and learn!

Elementary

(Kindergarten-5th Grade) Your children will build friendships, have fun and learn about Jesus’ love for them through creative lessons, games, and songs. Your child’s safety is ensured through dependable, background-checked leaders. Our goal is that your child will leave every week knowing Jesus loves them, we believe in them, and that church can be fun.

What are the Children Learning?

Elementary

December continues our year-long (August-May) journey through the Bible as we look at God’s Big Story. This month we will discover that the most exciting thing about Christmas is that we celebrate the birth of Jesus! Jesus’ birth is part of God’s plan to restore what was broken.
  • Week One: Jesus Is Promised (Isaiah 9:6-7, Micah 5:2)
    • Bottom Line: Jesus is good news for everyone.
  • Week Two: Gabriel Visits Mary (Luke 1:5-66)
    • Bottom Line: God always had a plan to send Jesus.
  • Week Three: Jesus Is Born (Luke 2:1-20)
    • Bottom Line: Jesus is the greatest gift.
  • Week Four: The Wise Men Visit Jesus (Matthew 2:1-12)
    • Bottom Line: Celebrate Jesus all year long.
Memory Verse: “Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you. He is the Messiah, the Lord.” (Luke 2:11, NIrV)
 

Preschool

This month our preschoolers will discover that the best gifts are the ones that require sacrifice on the part of the giver. That’s what makes Jesus the most incredible gift. God gave us His Son, Jesus.
  • Week One: The Angel and Mary (Luke 1:26-33, 38)
  • Week Two: Jesus is Born* (Luke 2:1-7)
  • Week Three: The Shepherds (Luke 2:8-20)
  • Week Four: The Wise Men (Matthew 2:1-2, 9-11)
Bottom Line: God gave us Jesus.
Memory Verse: “God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son.” (John 3:16 GNT)
