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!
THIS MONTH IN SEEDS
Jesus Gives Me Joy
Bottom Line:
God gave us Jesus.
Memory Verse:
“God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son.”
John 3:16 GNT
Christmas is such a special time of year. It’s filled with wonder and excitement! There are so many things to see and do at Christmas that it’s easy to miss what Christmas is all about. That’s why we want to use shapes that preschoolers already know to help them remember the most important thing they will ever know: God gave us Jesus.
The shapes we’re talking about this month are so much more than just hearts, squares, circles, and stars. They are fun ways to help preschoolers remember the true story of Christmas. Hearts remind us that “God loved the world so much that He gave his only Son” (John 3:16, GNT). Squares look like a gift, and Jesus is absolutely the best gift ever. Circles remind us of fluffy sheep, and God sent angels to announce His great gift to shepherds who were watching their sheep. Then God put a special star in the sky to lead wise men to come worship young Jesus.
Join us as we pray that Christmas will become a time when preschoolers and their families remember that God gave us Jesus. We hope they will begin to see reminders everywhere of the true story of Christmas
THIS MONTH IN THE GROVE
God View
The connection between truth and God’s creation, as shown through God’s Big Story
God didn’t need cable news or social media to broadcast the greatest birth announcement of all time. Instead, God sent an angel to Mary and to Zechariah and a full-on angel choir to the shepherds. And then, because no-big-deal, God placed a brand-new star to share the news with the wise men. Throughout history, the extraordinary news of Jesus’ birth has been spread in every way imaginable, which is why we’re shouting it out through this month’s theme: “Extra! Extra!: Celebrate the Good News of Jesus’ birth.”
Verse:
“Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you. He is the Messiah, the Lord.”
Luke 2:11 NIrV
