Children & Family Ministries

We desire and pray for spiritual transformation to occur in the life of a child at church and at home. We are convinced that ministry to children is best accomplished by creatively teaching God's Word and Story and then offering encouragement, practical training and tools based in scripture to parents.

We are committed to families in three ways:

To encourage and equip parents with tools and resources to help them be the primary spiritual influencers and disciplers in their homes.
To teach the truth of God’s Word and the Gospel to children through God's Story in the Bible, music, small group discussions, relationships, and age-appropriate, creative activities and play.
To maintain a safe and secure environment for kids. All volunteers and leaders are carefully screened and a stringent security process is in place for all kids and families.

In an ongoing effort to keep our children and volunteers safe, we have relocated the Nursery to Room 200.

- Children going into K-2nd Grade will meet in Room 211 and
- 3-5th grade will meet in Room 204.
FAMILY WORSHIP: On the First Sunday of the month, children K-5th grade will join their family to worship together in the Sanctuary.
- Summer (June–Sept.) Kids K–5th remain with parents for the entire Worship Service.
- All other Family Worship Sundays, K-2nd children will be dismissed for a special lesson and activity just before the Sermon.
- Worship Bags will be available for every child on these Sundays.

The check-ins kiosk is located near the WSBC Office for children Nursery through 6th Grade. Please check in each Sunday. A Children's Ministry Volunteer or Greeter will be available to assist and greet your family as ID/Name tags are printed.

We use the Planning Center check-ins automated check-in system as a security measure for our Families and Volunteers.

You can even speed up the check-in process by using the Church Center app. Family Pre-Check can start before you even arrive at the check-ins kiosk.

252 curriculum is constantly changing and re-inventing itself to stay effective and relevant to a kid today. But one thing that hasn't changed is its core philosophy and strategy. In fact, that strategy shows up in its name. Ultimately, we want to ensure that, like Jesus, every kid grows up experiencing a love for God that will inspire a deeper faith, a love for themselves that will lead to wiser choices, and a love for others that will grow stronger relationships with their peers, adults and the world around them.

We want every child to grow to love God's Story and know the heart of God's Word as we teach from the Bible each year.

LiveWire is our midweek ministry to children and families.

Come on out for our Church Family Dinner each Wednesday at 5:45pm! We know it can be tricky to get from one thing to another and eat dinner all at the same time on a week night. We hope this is will help. If you have a child 5 years - 5th Grade, we would love for them to join in the fun and excitement of LiveWire.

LiveWire has a full schedule of Bible Stories, Memory, Fun & Games and more each Wednesday with

Dinner at 5:45pm and

More fun and games until Parents can pick up their kids.

We believe that ministry volunteers have a lasting impact on the children they serve. Our relationship with them will represent the love of Christ. Because of this great responsibility before the Lord (James 3:1), we require all volunteers to complete a background check, meet specific qualifications, and expectations , be qualified, and we feel it is important to communicate to you the qualifications for volunteers, the expectations we have for you while being a volunteer, and the great blessings you can look forward to as a children’s ministry volunteer.

If you would like more information about becoming a Children’s Ministry volunteer, please contact Joel Sisson our Family Pastor or the Church Office.
