KidZone is our Sunday morning ministry to children from 6 weeks old to 6th grade. In order to keep our ministry as relevant as possible we employ a large group/small group format. This allows us to present the Bible in age appropriated and developmentally targeted ways. On any given Sunday, all our age groups are studying the same Bible Story, but the small group discussion and application will reflect the age and development of the individual child.
Nursery: Ages 6 weeks to 2 years. The nursery is a safe, nurturing place for babies to play while their parents are participating in the worship service. Two year olds are admitted into the nursery, but have a separate area where they begin to experience a more structured Sunday morning with songs, basic Bible stories and fun activities, along with free play time.
A private crib room for napping and nursing is also available in the nursery.
Ages 3 through Kindergarten: Our preschoolers and early elementary children enjoy a time of large group worship that includes music, drama and other group activities. Then our children split into small groups for age-appropriate Bible lessons. Although the age divisions for small groups may change based on attendance, our basic age groups include three and four year olds together (preschool), and five and six year olds (preschool and Kindergarten).
Grades 1 through 6. Using the same format as above, our older elementary children enjoy a time of large group worship that includes music, drama, and other group activities. A major portion of the Sunday time is spent in small groups—1st - 3rd graders meet together and 4th and 6th graders meet together. The small group format allows our leaders to develop relationships with their group and allows the children to focus on those issue that are most relevant to them.
