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:
God has plans for me
Memory Verse:
“For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. Jeremiah 29:11 NLT
God made me. God loves me. And God has plans for me. That is the foundation we want to begin to construct and create for our preschoolers this month. We want them to grow up knowing God has plans for them that include good things for them to do. We want them to know they can trust God’s plans and that His plans are always best. And just like we can wait for birthdays and Christmas, we can wait on God’s plans too!
Each of our preschoolers are building their own story with their lives. It is our hope and prayer that they will choose to build it with God by trusting that His plans are best. With God, we know they will construct and create a story that will leave a legacy of faith for generations to come.
THIS MONTH IN THE GROVE
God View
The connection between courage and God’s character, as shown through God’s big story
God has given each of us a key role to play in His story—but that doesn’t mean the journey will be easy.
As we continue to follow the journey of God’s people, we discover that Moses wasn’t ready for his leading role; that Joshua and Caleb had to go against the flow; that Rahab put everything on the line for the sake of a God worshiped by her enemies; and that Ruth set aside the safety of home to forge into the unknown. God’s people were on the move, but every new step was an act of courage.
While we may not be facing down an Egyptian ruler or setting off for new lands, we still need courage to do difficult things every single day. From speaking up in class to starting a conversation with a new kid to facing a doctor visit, kids need the help of God’s Holy Spirit. You can remind them that feeling scared doesn’t mean they can’t be brave. In fact, courage means trusting God to help you be brave. When kids choose to rely on God’s help to do something hard, even when they’re afraid, others can see God at work—and on the move.
Verse:
“When I’m afraid, I put my trust in you.” Psalm 56:3, NIRV
