Children's Ministry

Tami Bonhardt-Carr, Children's Ministry Coordinator

"Train up a child in the way that he should go and when he is old he will not turn from it" Prov. 22:6

Did you know about 80% of children in the world never hear about Jesus? Let’s work together to change this. We need to teach our children that their lives are valuable; that their dreams are important; to keep their faith in Jesus, and that God loves them and will never let them down. We desire to provide an environment in conjunction with the home, to raise and nurture all children birth through 5th grade in a personal and loving relationship with Jesus.

Sunday During 10am Service

Nursery - newborn to 1 year old- Where we love on our babies!

Toddler Room - 1 to 2 years old- “My First Look”  This curriculum was created to give preschoolers a first impression of their loving Heavenly Father. Nursery and Toddler attendees should be dropped off by parents before church service and will receive a pager. Please remember to bring pager back when you pick up your infant/toddler at time of Holy Communion.

Joshua’s Army - ages 3-10, this age group goes to church with their parents then after Songs of Praise are prayed over then dismissed and follow the crucifix and teachers to children’s church. Then they will meet the “Storyteller” who will lead them in an exciting Bible devotional before dividing into classes (by age) for activities related to the Bible lesson. Children are taught monthly virtues. This virtue is to model  for them to always Make the Wise Choice, To Trust God No Matter What & To Treat Others The Way They Want to Be Treated. GodTime & Fridge Door Cards are given each week to link the Sunday lesson to family life.

We encourage our children to bring a friend to church with them!

Sunday Evening During Women of Grace

Nursery & Child Care Provided 6-8pm

Wednesday Nights During Mouthwatering Discipleship

6-7:30PM Nursery & Toddler Room Open

Teachings during Mouthwatering Discipleship change per semester.

Sample of teachings:

Jesus, The One & Only - this Beth Moore studies the life of Jesus from His birth through the transfiguration, based on the book of Luke along with other verses. The study was designed to help boys and girls understand the life of Jesus and what it means to them. During each meeting we played games, worked puzzles, learned Bible stories and memorized Bible verses. For grades K-5th.

Crown Financial for Children - This is a very important class because we as parents usually spend only a few hours teaching our children the value and use of money. Yet they will use money throughout their lives and need to learn how to handle it according to God’s established principles. We feel this class is not only educational, fun, and rewarding but also a blessing for our children. For grades K-6th.

Children’s Choir taught by Cheryl Wright. If you enjoying singing or think you might and you are between the ages of 3 and 10 this is the class for you. During these classes you might be asked to perform at church on Sunday.
