Our Family Ministry is committed to presenting God’s word to children while being Godly examples to those we teach. Our mission is to support parents as they train up their children in the knowledge and respect of God. We seek to provide a clean, safe environment for children. To help ensure the safety of the children, all of our adult staff undergo a professional background check.
5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. 6 And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. 7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. 8 You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. 9 You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
Deuteronomy 6:5-9
Nursery Care
We provide responsible childcare so parents can worship in the main service free of distraction.
The upstairs nursery room is open for parents to use in caring for infants without volunteer support during the regular Sunday services. Our toddler Nursery provides care for children who are nine months to three years old.
Each child in the Nursery is checked in when brought to the nursery. A parent will receive a text to the cell phone number given if the nursery staff needs them to come help their child. Parents will need to show their parent sticker when picking up their child.
Sunday School
The Family Ministry team offers Sunday School classes for children Pre-K through 8th grade on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month. Each lesson offers a Biblical teaching and discussion. More information can be found at Answers in Genesis ABC website. Our teachers have a passion to help their students to grow spiritually and to have a fulfilling life.
Sunday school volunteers perform security check-in for children in the upstairs lobby starting at 9:15 am. The Nursery (9 months - 3 years) opens at 9:15 downstairs. Grades pre-k to 8th-grade worship in the sanctuary and will be dismissed to their classes following worship.
On the 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month, our children stay in service with everyone. We call these our family Sundays. There is a special teaching time for them and are sometimes asked to participate in various parts by our teaching team. Activity pages are available for children in the lobby these days, and they are of course welcome to bring other activities in with them.
