IT’S NEVER TOO EARLY to teach children about
the love that Jesus has for each of them. It’s our desire that each child
will learn God’s Word for their lives and respond to it in love, faith, and
obedience, and by reaching out to their friends. Sunday School missions
include support of a child in Africa, Operation Christmas Child, the
Deacons’ food closet, and One Great Hour of Sharing.

Sunday School meets 40 Sundays a year
(Sunday after Labor Day through mid-June).
On the 40th week, Family Day is celebrated with a classroom open
house, program, awards, and a church-wide picnic. Children’s Classes are:
Infant
Nursery Room 107
2- & 3-Year
Olds Room 105
4-Yr Olds & Kindergarten
Room 206
Grades 1 & 2
Room 204
Grades 3 & 4
Room 205
Grade 5 & Junior High 6* Room 208
* Note that for Sunday School G5/JH6 are combined. In the evening, G5
children attend 3-4-5 Alive! while JH6 youth move up to All Access (Youth
Groups).
CHILDREN’S
TIME,
CHILDREN’S CHURCH,
& SONbeam SINGERS
CHILDREN’S TIME:
During the Contemporary Worship Service (except on communion Sundays),
children are invited to the front of the sanctuary for a special message
just for them.
CHILDREN’S CHURCH:
Prior to the sermon at the Contemporary Worship Service, children ages 4
through Grade 2 move to the Nurture Building for a lesson, video, activity
that is different from the Sunday School hour.
SONbeam SINGERS: On
second and third Sundays, September through May, Children’s Church is
replaced by SONbeam Singers, a children’s music ministry that teaches the
joy of singing to the Lord. On the third Sunday of those months, the
children sing at both worship services to the glory of God.
During worship
services, nursery care is available for children under age 4; and, during
Sunday School, for children who were not age 2 by the past August 31.
Nursery and childcare are also provided for most special services (unless
the children are participating)
