    10:00 a.m. Worship Hour

    Children’s Ministry class offerings reflect a child’s growth in understanding and maturity in their walk with Jesus. We take our inspiration for our progression of classes from John 15:5. See if you can spot how this theme is woven into our class offerings for fall.

    “Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me,

    and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.”

    Nursery - Birth to 2.5 years

    Where our children and new parents learn they are loved by God and this church where he has provided rich soil in which to grow

    Seeds - Preschool (formerly Early Disciples)

    Where seeds of faith are planted through a (new) curriculum of monthly Bible stories with lots of fun options for teachers to choose from

    •Sprouts – Kindergarten and 1st grade (children start in worship)

    Where faith begins to grow and mature as children start in worship and then come down to enjoy Bible stories with active learning opportunities

    •Vine – 2nd through 4th grades (children start in worship)

    Where a child becomes more connected to the Vine (John 15:5) and starts to apply faith to real life situations

    Phish Phood – 5th through 8th grades (children start in worship)

    Where kids grapple with questions and learn how the fruits of their faith can feed their daily life

    Picking up Children after Worship

    Parents, we would love to have you join us for fellowship after worship! For safety reasons, children should be picked up in their classrooms. We will no longer dismiss children without a parent present. Please pick your birth-4th grade children up and join your church family in Fellowship Hall or the Outside Patio.

    FAMILY WORSHIP AND CHOIR

    The LAST SUNDAY of each month is our Family Worship Sunday when children kindergarten and up remain in worship with their parents instead of being excused to their own program. Engaging music, a children's message, thematic worship packets and activity stations are available to engage them in the message and scripture for the day.

    NEW THIS FALL is our Family Choir. Families of all ages are invited to show up at 8:30 on Sunday morning to learn a simple and but fun song for that morning’s worship service. No experience is necessary!

    WORSHIPPING WITH CHILDREN AND YOUTH

    We value our children and believe that it is important to incorporate all ages into worship and the life of our congregation. View our “Worshipping with Children and Youth” brochure to see suggestions for parents and congregation on helping our children learn how to worship.
