Children & Family
Parents of young children: Relax!
God put the wiggle in children! Don’t feel you have to suppress those wiggles in God’s house. If you need to nurse a baby, or you and your child(ren) need a quiet place to experience worship, we have a room at the back of the sanctuary, furnished with rocking chairs, a changing table, and wheelchair accessible restroom. The worship service is broadcast into this room, and has a clear view of the sanctuary.
When we expanded to three Sunday morning worship services, we didn’t want to separate families by offering Sunday School at the same time as worship. We decided to move all of our Sunday Bible classes to Wednesday nights.
We love having a time reserved for the whole family to worship together on Sunday mornings, and a time to study God’s Word together on Wednesday Nights. Find more info about Wednesday Nights by clicking here.
Each grade will have 2-3 Small Groups with adult leaders. These small group leaders will check in and greet the students, introduce the lesson, focus on relationships, and encourage students in their faith. Here’s the schedule we’ll follow for kiddos through grade 5:
- 6:15-6:30 – Opening Worship in sanctuary with all participants
- 6:30-7:15-Lesson/Craft and Game!
- 7:15-7:30 Closing
- June 6-10 2022
- Ages 3-entering 5th grade
- Volunteer opportunities for those entering 6th grade and older
