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:
I can thank God for everything.
Memory Verse:
“I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart.”
Psalm 111:1 ESV
Have you ever noticed that being thankful is something we have to practice? But complaining
about what we have and don’t have, well, that just seems to come naturally. It’s true for all of us, which is why we are taking our preschoolers on a picnic this month!
We want to help our preschoolers see that the whole world is like a gigantic picnic filled with countless things we can thank God for, because we can thank God for EVERYTHING! Imagine if our preschoolers began seeing everything around them as an opportunity to thank God— people, Creation, food, toys, home, help—all of it! They can thank God for everything with their whole heart! And so can we.
So please join us this month as we pray for our preschoolers and parents, as well as those of us who lead them. Pray that we will take time to look at the world around us and practice thanking God for all we see, because we can thank God for everything.
THIS MONTH IN THE GROVE
God View
The connection between courage and God’s image, as shown through God’s big story
People build their lives on all kinds of stories: Acing every test. Being the funny kid. Keeping the peace. Doing enough good things. But every single one of those foundations, alone, will crumble. The only safe story on which to build is the true story of a God who created us and loves us so much that when we turned away, God continued to pursue us.
God chose a people and promised through them to bless the whole world. And God fulfilled that promise by sending Jesus to rescue and redeem us. When we begin to understand this story and allow it to inform everything in our lives, we can live from a place of quiet confidence, knowing God is always with us and is able to work every single thing we face into a beautiful pattern for our good.
This month, we’re exploring some larger-than-life characters from God’s story who lived during the decline of Israel and Judah and the following exile. These individuals chose to—or failed to—place the full weight of their lives on trust in God. Through stories of Elijah, Jonah, Daniel, Esther, and Nehemiah we see how making choices from a foundation of trust changes everything about the way you live.
Verse:
Those who trust in the Lord will receive new strength. They will fly as high as eagles. They will run and not get tired. They will walk and not grow weak.
Isaiah 40:31 NIrV
