DISCIPLESHIP FOR CHILDREN is ...

Children's Ministry a support to parents in the Christian nurture and formation of their children.

Through our worship, people and programs we seek to welcome and nurture all children as they change and grow. Children's Ministry provides care and nurture for children from infancy through fifth grade. In Children's Ministry we rejoice in the ways parents teach their children to know and love God and we delight in being partners with our parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles in this process.

At the center of our ministry is Sunday mornings!
Childrens Ministry
Care for infants through two year olds is provided during all worship services.

In the summer child care is offered at 9 and 10:30 a.m. for children up through Kindergarten in Neighborhood A. Our trained volunteers, staff and nurse supervisor offer love and security in our well equipped child care rooms. Registration for child care is available in the Skylight area (look for the children's library) of the Children's Center.

Fall Sunday School is held at 9 and 10:30 a.m. for children turning 2 years old by October 1 through Grade 5.

All families are encouraged to attend worship and Sunday school each week. Preschool children are welcome to attend Sunday School for two hours. Elementary children are encouraged to attend worship one hour and Sunday School one hour.
Registration for Sunday School is conducted in the Skylight area (look for the children's library) of the Children's Center. All children must be registered in order to receive their neighborhood assignment.

Children's Library and Parenting Resources
Over 1,300 children's books are available for check-out. Our books give children insights into God and God's creation, stimulate their imagination and help them explore new ideas and develop life skills.

Resources in our parenting section provide guidance when your child has fears, encounters something new, or is bored. You will also find books to help you nurture your child's spiritual growth.

Mothers Closet
Provides baby equipment and clothing for when grandchildren are visiting and for families who can use these items.

Life Got You Twisted Up?
Unwind at Bible Adventures July 14-18 (Ages 4 – 5^th grade)

During one amazing summer week, children will explore the twists and turns of Growing in Character as we help them with the challenges they face at school and in friendships. This year, characters from the story of Esther have lots of good and bad choices to make – especially when it comes to peer pressure.
