KIDS MINISTRY
Service Times @ 9:00 AM & 10:30 AM
Ages: Birth to 2 Years Old
Our nursery/toddler ministry provides quality care and security while helping each child feel loved, showing them that church is a safe place. With qualified leadership, the paid staff and ministry partners lovingly nurture each and every child.
We want to inspire confidence that your little ones will be safe and well cared for while you attend worship services, and to make your child’s first church experiences happy and positive. Our Toddlers are introduced to a more intentional learning environment with age-appropriate Bible story time, songs, art, prayer, and play.
Ages: 3 to 4 Year Olds
Each Sunday, our hour with your kiddo is constructed to incite wonder and meet them where they are cognitively, spiritually, physically, emotionally, and socially. Through age-appropriate activities, our preschoolers are building their spiritual foundation so that by the time they graduate to Kindergarten they know these three basic truths:
– God Made Me
– God Loves Me
– Jesus Wants To Be My Friend Forever*
The entire morning weaves music, storytelling, small group discussions, video presentations, and creative activities together to reinforce one clear and simple bottom line each week so kids can walk away and remember what matters most!
Ages: 5 Years Old to 4th Grade
The Grove is a fresh, age-appropriate, worship experience for kids on Sunday mornings! This high-energy hour is designed to provoke discovery and invite kids into a new understanding of how to grow in relationship with Jesus. We do this through worship, art, games, connection and story, focusing on three basic truths modeled by Jesus in Luke 2:52.
– I need to make the wise choice.
– I can trust God no matter what.
– I should treat others the way I want to be treated.*
Did You Know?
Over 25 children are cared for in our nursery every Sunday. At least 5 volunteers are needed for each service to ensure loving, safe care. We are so thankful for those who serve- and we’d love for you to be part of this beautiful ministry!

Jesus Gives Me Joy
Bottom Line:
The grocery store, doctor’s office, playground, school, church … preschoolers go to a lot of places! And while some places spark adventure and play, others can make preschoolers feel a little anxious or afraid. So, this month’s memory verse is perfect for our busy preschoolers:
“God is with you wherever you go” (Joshua 1:9 ESV).
Preschoolers cannot see God, but they need to know that He is always with them. God is close enough to hear their giggles and tears, and He hears them when they pray to Him. So, we have four Bible stories to share this month that will help preschoolers learn this month’s Bottom Line: God is always with me. God’s presence is a gift. He protects us. He provides for us. He helps and guides us wherever we go. So join us this month as we show preschoolers that God will always be with them, no matter what they experience. As we share these stories with preschoolers, let’s pray that the Holy Spirit will help us demonstrate our own trust in God, so our words and actions point preschoolers to one undeniable truth: God is always with me.

Faith Skill: Learning to hear from God.
Welcome! In September, school and schedules take off like a bullet train. That’s why it’s so vital for all of us to learn how to pause, take a deep breath, and tune our hearts to Hear from God. Our faith is living and active. We serve a God who wants to speak to us and who designed us to hear from Him every day! For many of us, though, hearing from God feels complicated. Where do I start? How do I know if it’s God or my own thoughts? God loves when we ask those questions—and we’re excited to help kids ask those questions, too, as we explore FREQUENCY – Learning to hear from God. The story of Samuel shows you don’t have to wait until you are older to hear from God! Our world is so full of noise and anxiety that learning to hear God’s voice is vital. It’s a rescue. When kids learn to stay close to Jesus and hear directly from God that they are loved and valuable, they can walk through a chaotic world with a growing peace and confidence.
Verse:
“My sheep listen to my voice. I know them, and they follow me.”
