Ministry to
Preschoolers
and Children

Preschool ministry focus:  Families with children ages birth through kindergarten.

Children's ministry focus: Children in first through 5th grades and their families.

Goal: Help children grow in their relationship with God and others. 

Typical Sunday Morning Activities
Age appropriate activities and teaching are offered for infants and toddlers, two year olds, three year olds, four year olds, and five year olds during the Bible Study period.

Volunteers and paid workers provide extended teaching and childcare during our morning worship for preschoolers through age 3.

Four year olds may attend their own extended teaching time after the morning worship service Gospel for Children or remain in the worship service with their families. 

The first thru fifth grade classes have a rotation style Sunday School in rooms E201 and E202. The first thru third graders go to music first and then rotate to Bible Story while the fourth and fifth graders begin in Bible Story and then go to music. There is a place for every child!

In music time we continue to strive to carry out the themes going on in Sunday School with learning songs about Bible characters, stories, or values. We compose some of our songs and accompany them on Orff instruments (xylophones, metallaphones, glockenspiels) along with many different instruments. Sometimes we play musical games or do other creative activities. We would love all 1st through 5th graders to come give us a try.  We hope to see you next Sunday.

Childcare
Childcare is offered during Sunday evening and Wednesday evening activities, as well as other scheduled activities requiring childcare such as Parent's Night Out. 

Ministry Teams

A Preschool Ministry Team with lay people dedicated to the spiritual and emotional growth of our preschoolers assists the minister in planning and staffing appropriate activities for the preschool area. A Children's Ministry Team assists with planning and appropriate activities for the older children.  Anyone interested in participating in these vitally important ministries is invited to contact the church office.
