Children & Family Ministry

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.

Family check-ins station is located near the church office for families with children NURSERY through 5th Grade. Leaders will be present 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.

Church Center App is available for download on both Apple iOS & Android.

Each week children will DIG INTO THE LIFE OF JESUS in a classroom format. Our highly creative and caring teachers and assistants strive to create a relational environment that focuses on that day's portion of Jesus' Life through a variety of experiences, activities and crafts. They will walk in Jesus' footsteps from birth to resurrection to ascension. Kids won’t just learn about the historical Jesus; they will get to know him personally. They’ll discover that Jesus is a real person—a real friend—who makes a difference in their lives today.

We want your child to grow in God's Story and know the heart of Jesus as we teach through the life of Jesus from the Bible.

MAKE THINGS INDUSTRIES

This Fall, we will join the workers of MAKE THINGS INDUSTRIES, the most amazing toy, gadget, & candy factory in the world as learn about some people in the Bible. They started our as unimportant, but became great when their lives were used by God.

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.
