We seek to make Jesus non-ignorable by teaching the next generation about Him
Kids Class
Our Kids’ Class for children ages Pre-K through 5th grade takes place during the second half of our Sunday Morning Service on each Sunday except the last Sunday of the month which is Family Worship. Our children are currently being instructed using The Biggest Story Bible and Curriculum.
It is completely at the discretion of the parent if their child attends the Kids’ Class. Children are always welcome in our services.
So, parents, relax… We know God put the wiggle in your kids, so don’t feel the need for them to be perfectly still and quiet. This is God’s house! He invites children to come to him, and we love the sound of kids’ voices. Encourage your kids to sing loud as you sing with them, and pray when we pray… Quietly explain to them what’s going on in the service so they understand… And on Family Worship Sundays (the last Sunday of each month) there are free resources available on the Kids’ table in the back of the gym to help your kids engage in the service.
Nursery
We offer a nursery each Sunday for your littles to play in. Any babies and toddlers age 6 weeks-3 years old are welcome, though you are also welcome to keep them in the service with you. The service livestream will be playing, so you’ll be able to keep listening to the sermon while your kids play.
Each of our volunteers is trained, and background checked, and we use a name tag check in system to safely check kids in and out.
Shaping Arrows
Every summer our kids' class takes a break, encouraging families to worship together. Shaping Arrows is an opportunity for both kids and adults to partner together in learning important doctrinal truths of our faith through the New City Catechism.
What is catechism? Catechism comes from a Greek word which means "to teach orally". It is not tied to any religion or denomination, but refers to a way to learn doctrine, typically through question and answer.
Each week, we will go through one question and answer during the service. New City Catechism also includes a kid's version of the answer that is simplified to make it easier to memorize. We will have physical copies of both the adult and kids' versions of the catechism each Sunday. If you have kids, visit the table beside the kids' desk for worksheets that correspond to the question of the week, along with different activities for your kids to do during the service.
