Sunday for Children

 

The BIG Picture

Church is an important part of your family's life together. We encourage you to make Sunday morning a "two part" experience.

 

First, we invite you to attend a worship service as a family. We encourage you to sit together as a family each week and experience worship and God's Word. This will help bond you together and give you opportunities for spiritual discussion outside of Sunday mornings. We believe that it is important for your children to be a part of worship with the entire church family.

 

Second, we invite your children to participate in an hour of ministry designed just for them! On this page you will find all the information that you need to get connected. While your child is enjoying his or her hour in Children's Ministry, we encourage you to use your gifts and talents to be involved with service (perhaps even being a part of our team in reaching kids), or to connect with other adults in one of our Adult Communities.

 

Nursery and Preschool

Our trained nursery and preschool staff love the little ones that they get to spend time with each Sunday. They provide a safe, caring, and clean environment. Our staff commit to serve for one year so that your child can feel secure seeing the same people each week. Most importantly, we want to encourage each child's heart to develop a love for God.

FLOCK 56 (Fifth-Sixth Grade)

Our preteen ministry rocks! Fifth and sixth graders meet each Sunday morning to grow in their relationship with God, connect with their leaders, and have a great time together. These preteen years are extremely important for young people as they prepare to launch out into a challenging world. We want them to be ready and grounded on God and His Word. Flock 56 also meets outside of Sunday mornings for special events and an annual retreat.

GEMS: God's Extraordinary Miracles

Sundays, 9:40 am, 11:10 am 

 

GEMS is the name for our children who have special needs. GEMS stands for God's Extraordinary Miracles. On Sunday mornings, we provide support for families with special needs children by connecting each child with a "buddy" for his or her time in Children's Ministry. This helps the child by giving him or her one-on-one attention, and making the experience a smooth one. GEMS also has a special event for families once a month.

 

If you have a special needs child and you want to find out about our Sunday morning buddy ministry, or if you want to find out more about how you can make a difference in the life of a child, contact Laura Maillefer, 630.588.7175.
