Starting at 2 years, each child is invited to be a part of a Sunday school class. The age group divisions follow the above list. Our entire Children's Department is using the HeartShaper curriculum through David C. Cook publishing. Each class is following a 3-year chronological journey through God's Word filled with visual aids, crafts/activities, and take home materials that kids love and that apply the heart of the message for each learner.
Location: Education Wing
Worship Time: 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
During the Worship hour, nursery is provided for birth through 5 years. Once a child enters Kindergarten, they join their parents in the sanctuary to enjoy corporate worship and so that they may recognize that they are a vital part of this body of Christ as we grow together. To aid in this realization, and to help them feel a part of this "adult" environment, a children's time is included in the service. All children are invited to come and sit on the platform steps and enjoy a 5 minute object lesson. Afterwards each child is given a lolipop and a children's bulletin.
