We want to deliver the Word of God in a creative, fun and engaging way, partner with parents in a child’s discipleship journey, and introduce children to being deployed to share the message of the Gospel with friends, neighbors and around the world. Our desire is for children to form a lifelong relationship with Jesus Christ through repentance and faith.
Your child’s safety is extremely important to us. Learn more about how we ensure their safety.
Saturday Night & Sunday Morning
Saturday
6:30pm – 7:30pm | Life Groups at the BX (K5-5th)
Sunday
11:15am | Kids Worship in the Underground at the Main Building (K5-3rd)
10:00 – 11:00am | Life Groups (K5-5th)
Our weekends are designed to reinforce Biblical truths and assist in each child’s walk with the Lord. Our weekend ministry utilizes The Gospel Project for Kids curriculum during Life Group and Worship. The study takes children on a three year chronological journey through the entire story of the Bible. Each week’s lesson makes a reference pointing to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Through hands on activities, Bible stories, videos, dramas, and music, the Word is delivered in an exciting way.
Life Groups
Classes are divided by grade level and are lead by our committed volunteers who love Jesus and families. Each weekend the children experience a Bible lesson through various methods of teaching and activities. Activity sheets are sent home each week to give parents an overview of the week’s lesson. Plus, a weekly daily Bible reading bookmark guides families in a reading plan leading up to the next week’s lesson.
Kids Worship
Designed to be a worship service to prepare K5 to 3rd graders to transition into the family worship experience. Our goal is to provide a worship experience at a child’s level of understanding that teaches them the meanings of the elements of a worship service.
Wednesday Evening
Kids Midweek
Wednesday @ 6:30-7:30pm in the Underground
Great Commission Airlines (K5 to 5th grade)
Great Commission Airlines is a focus on missions designed to help children understand that God wants them to be part of His plan as they learn about missions, pray for missions, give to missions, and do missions. One of our favorite activities during the year is the Operation Christmas Child packing party.
Using curriculum from the Woman’s Missionary Union (WMU.com), children will learn:
How to cultivate a biblical worldview with an emphasis on missions learning and missional living
How to develop leadership skills to serve God and share His love with others
How to grow spiritually in their understanding of God and His mission, including how they are a part of God’s plan.
