Children

The Nursery ministry is called, “The Meadow” because of its peaceful and calming environment. This room is for ages birth to potty-trained or three years old. Children are promoted out of the nursery when they are potty trained or reach the age of 3, whichever comes first. The Nursery environment includes a trained & licensed caretaker and a clean and calming environment. You can feel at ease and enjoy worship knowing your infant or toddler is in a safe place.

The Elementary ministry is called, “The Outbound” because children get to experience new adventures every week including learning more about the adventure God has for them. The Outbound is for children who are currently in Kindergarten through grade 5. Children can show up early to spend some time on the Wii's before service or hang with their friends amongst several activities. Children will get to have a game-time and active worship through fun songs and then split into two smaller groups divided by age of the younger and older children. Children are encouraged to bring their Bibles, memorize Scripture, and participate in small group discussion.

Safety & Security

We believe that safety and security is of the highest importance. Through our volunteer screening process, the child check-in/check-out system, and our safety protocols, among other things, we do everything in our power to make sure our environments are safe and secure.

Biblical Teaching

We believe that the Bible is an adventure, and also God’s guidebook for us. Every time we gather, we open it up for guidance and direction. We use the CEB as our standard version.

Adventure

We believe that a relationship with God is supposed to be exciting and fun…an adventure. We work tirelessly to make every time we gather an adventure. Through fun games, interactive lessons and high-energy worship times, we want every child to experience the adventure that God wants to take them on.

Relationships

We believe that ministry is meant to be done in relationships. We make every effort to promote relationships with children and volunteers. We do this through meaningful time spent together including small groups to promote discipleship.

Families

Partnering with parents is a vital portion of this ministry. We accomplish this by providing environments that enable parents to grow spiritually, undistracted, while their children learn age-appropriate lessons about Jesus in their own environments. We also desire for families to discuss Biblical principles together throughout the week. This is also why, among other things, our weekend curriculum is the same for 3 year olds through grade 5. The Bible story and core concept is the same to enable family discussion and dialogue around what was taught and learned on Sunday.
