Children's Church
Children's Church is available from ages 1–11. We believe the best way to teach children God's word is by actually using it. This is why our teachers read straight from the bible during the lessons and why we chose a curriculum that represents our commitment to God's word. We take the children through the Bible in its entirety over three years.
Learn About Generations of Grace
The Bible Brought to Life
Although we read from the bible, we know that the most effective way children learn is through experience. Our teachers bring the bible to life through role play, crafts, music, and games while helping children apply these truths to everyday situations. Each class learns the same bible lesson, but through an age-appropriate format and application.
What to Expect
Registration
If you are a new visitor, we will need you to fill out a registration form with emergency information and contacts for your child. We suggest arriving around 9:45am to allow for a smooth drop-off.
Pager Number
At check-in, the authorized adult receives a pager number that will act as their ticket to check-out their child as well as emergency page if they are needed during service.
Text Alerts
Should any issues arise with your child during service you will be texted by one of the teachers to come to the classroom.
Policies We Have in Place
Safety is important to us, therefore we have put several policies in place:
- Adults 18 years old and up are authorized to check-in and check-out a child
- At check-in, the authorized adult receives a pager number that will act as their ticket to check-out their child as well as emergency page if they are needed during service
- Each class contains at least one volunteer trained in First Aid and CPR
- All volunteers are screened, trained and background checked through Ministry Safe before serving in our classrooms
- We maintain a safe ratio of child to adult in each classroom
Background checks are conducted through Ministry Safe.
Please Keep Your Child Home
In order to keep our classrooms a safe and healthy place, we ask that you keep your child in your care if they have experienced the following symptoms within the past 24 hours:
- Fever
- Rash or skin infection
- Persistent Cough
- Non-clear runny nose
Parents, in order to better minister and care for your child, we ask that you please send your child in a pull-up if he/she is potty training but is not yet potty-trained. We describe a child as potty trained if the parent can drop off the child with no special instructions about taking the child to the bathroom. The potty trained child will tell a worker if they need to go.
You are also welcome to stay with your child in the classroom while they are potty training to maintain consistency in the potty training process. As you know, accidents do happen. However, our goal is to provide the best possible care for your child and that includes maintaining a clean and sanitary room.
