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:
I can do what Jesus says.
Memory Verse: “Be kind and loving to each other.” Ephesians 4:32, NCV
This month, we will continue to live it out and discover how to love like Jesus with our preschoolers. Jesus showed us how to love in many ways as He helped people, was kind to them, forgave them, and was patient and gentle toward them. Jesus was consistently showing us what love looks like.
There is another way we can learn how to love like Jesus and that is by doing what Jesus says. Jesus gave us very clear instructions on what to do, and then Jesus gave us the gift of His Holy Spirit to guide us and help us do it. That is why we want our preschoolers to learn that I can do what Jesus says . . . because they can! Preschoolers can do what Jesus says and show his love to everyone everywhere!
THIS MONTH IN THE GROVE
God View
The connection between live it out and God’s character, as shown through God’s big story
Living and loving like Jesus sounds great in theory, but may be a little hard in practice. However, with the help of God’s Spirit, we don’t have to do it alone. When we follow Jesus, God’s Spirit transforms us, shaping us every day into who God has called us to be and how God is calling us to live. Live It Out is not JUST a theme, but a call to action. It encourages kids to actively live out their faith through their words and interactions with others. And the more we become like Jesus, the more we can make a true difference in this world and in the lives of those around us.
Verse:
“Our God is a God who strengthens and encourages you. May he give you the same attitude toward one another that Christ Jesus had.” Romans 15:5, NIRV
