Building blocks
Laying the foundation of faith for your child
We think kids are cool; they are also loud, playful and honest, but as a parent you already know this. Our children's ministry is designed to assist you as you raise your child. Our ministry is dedicated to serving both your child and you. Unlike other churches, it is not our plan to keep you and your child separated by keeping you busy. We design ministry with your busy active family in mind.
Building blocks encompasses our entire ministry and our philosophy of ministry. It is our desire to help your child connect with God, with family, and with friends.
Weekly Building blocks
M&Ms (Music and Missions) takes place Wednesday nights at 6:45 during the school year. We meet in room 202 of the Family Life Center. The group just finished presenting a musical “The Good News Cruise.” Other activities include crafts, missionary stories, missions activities, special outings and many other fun activities.
Children’s Sunday morning Bible Study is age-graded. Younger children (through 2nd grade) meet in the education wing of the main building while the older children meet in the Family Life Center. Signs will direct you to the appropriate classes.
Summer program
For summer 2008 kids will participate in Wacky Wednesdays at 6:30pm. Activities will include crafts, music, games, and puppets. A Back-to-School outing will be held in mid-August.
Vacation Bible School will be held June 23-27 from 9am-12 noon.
Camp Buckhorn is the "funnest" week all summer according to the campers. This is an overnight camp (3 nights) @ Paris Mountain State Park in July for children who have completed 2nd grade thru 5th. This is camp the way it was intended to be: fun, rowdy, and memorable.
Special program for children
Upward Basketball is an affirming way to join in the fun of playing basketball. The fun begins in November and runs through February.
Building blocks for preschoolers
While parents and families attend worship & Bible study classes on Sunday or Wednesday, preschoolers and kindergartners have a wonderful, nurturing experience awaiting them appropriate for their age and stage of learning.
It is the mission of our preschool ministry to provide a safe and fun learning environment for all preschoolers and kindergartners as they are taught the message of God's love and care for them. Children interact with their teachers through stories, songs, and play.
It is our desire for children to feel safe, loved and cared for as they begin to understand God’s plan for them through His Son, Jesus.
Currently we have three classes for our preschoolers: infants, one's & two's, and three's & four's. During Bible study and Worship they meet in the samerooms for your convenience.
