Newborns–Grade 6
Kids' Ministry Journey
Newborns through 2-years-old
In the first stages of our ministry, we make the Lord known in age-appropriate ways, building a foundation of a loving, trustworthy God that will build as they grow.
3-years-old through Kindergarten
During this time, we emphasize that God wants a relationship with us and the people around us. In the 3-and-4-year-old class, they talk about what God did for people in the Bible and how He does those things for us too. Kids learn Old Testament stories about how God chose His people, stories about Jesus’ miracles, and about the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
The Pre-K and Kindergarten classes discuss how God has made His message known to everyone. They learn about prophets, Jesus’ teachings, and about Paul’s journeys.
Grades 1–4
Next, kids learn what it is like to dwell in the House of the Lord. Each year, they focus on a truth about God when we live with Him. They learn that the Lord restores, guides, embraces and provides. They discover stories that emphasize these truths and memorize scripture, giving them a better understanding.
Grades 5–6
Before kids move on to our Student Ministry, we equip them for transition. Kids learn about gifting and have space to ask questions to deepen their growing faith. Events, teaching styles, and community building are be essential to helping equip them for Student Ministry.
