Children

ELEMENTARY

(KINDERGARTEN - 5TH GRADE)

We believe the Bible should never be boring, worship can be really loud, and good leaders always care. Before kids head off to middle school, we want to make sure these three things stick:

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.

Worship is focused on large groups, while Bible classes focus on small groups. We want kids to see how God's Word fits into their lives, to learn how to talk to him, and to build friendships that will last.

Our guest services team is available to assist guests or others who need assistance with check-in, provide directions, or answer any other questions at the Visitor Center in our lobby at the west end of the building.

Elementary children begin worship time together with their family in the Worship Center at the 9:00 a.m. or 11:00 a.m. worship. Before the message begins, children ages three years to 2nd grade are led by Children's Ministry leaders from the Worship Center to continue their worship experience with a Bible story on their own level. After worship is complete, parents will pick up children from their worship time.

A staffed nursery is available for infants through two years old during the entire worship time.

Children age three through second grade begin worshiping together with their families in the Worship Center. Midway through worship, children are released to continue their worship experience in Children's Worship. Our Children's Ministry team will take the children to their Children's Worship locations.

Children's Worship will engage the children and help them connect with one another. It includes a time of praise and worship to our God and dramatic storytelling that will reinforce the biblical story and concepts.

We ask parents to check-in their children before worship begins and to pick their children up from their Children's Worship locations at the end of adult worship.

The safety of children is one of our highest priorities. A professional background check and Safe Place certification are required for everyone who works with our children (infants - high school students). All servants are encouraged to wear their Safe Place badges when working with children and must re-certify every three years.

Infants through fifth grade children are required to wear the name tags printed during Check-In. Parents are required to have their parent tag with them when they pick up their child.

Preschool

Preschool children participate in a time of worship and learning where they can explore Biblical stories and concepts in a fun and engaging way that communicates, at their level of understanding, that God made them, God loves them, and that Jesus is their friend forever.

3 YEARS – PRE-K

Preschool children will explore biblical stories and concepts in a fun and engaging way that communicates to preschoolers at their level of understanding.

Three foundational truths we want to impress on the heart of a child are:

God Made Me
God Loves Me
Jesus Wants to Be My Friend Forever
