Twice a month, 1st-5th graders will be invited to leave worship before the service for a special time of Children’s Worship. 1-2 graders meet in room 202 for their age specific time of teaching and worship, while 3-5 graders meet in room 107 for kid friendly worship with our youth praise band and age appropriate Bible teaching. Both groups enjoy games that provide a fun way to connect kids with God’s truth.

Think you have what it takes to compete in Bible Drill?? Each spring, children in grades 3-6 participate in weekly games and activities that assist them in memorizing all 66 books of the Bible, 25 verses, and 10 key passages and how to find them quickly in their Bibles. There are local, state, and area competition. Memorizing God’s Word is one of the most important disciplines of a Christian. Kids love the trips, thrill of competition, and fun each week as they commit God’s message to heart. Bible Drill meets on Sunday evenings starting in January.
FAITH CONVERSATIONS CLASS
Offered each year in the Fall, this class is designed for a small group of students, grades 3-5, who have been thinking about making a personal decision to follow Christ or who have recently made that decision. The class provides learning experiences about the basics of the Christian faith. We ask that families make a commitment that children take part in all 6 sessions on Sunday mornings.
The Children’s Day Out Program (CDO), which began in 1991, was designed to establish a ministry to preschoolers in our surrounding community by providing a place of loving care and meaningful experiences in a Christian environment. We strive to meet the individual needs of each child with an emphasis on developing self-confidence, independence, and happiness.
CDO uses activities and materials appropriate for each level of a child’s development. Our curriculum is theme oriented, which promotes learning through play. The children work in centers on activities to learn shapes, colors, numbers, and the alphabet. Four-year-olds and older work on Kindergarten readiness activities.
