Sundays

9:45 AM Sunday School-Each week children learn content of the Bible, Biblical Referencing skills, and the importance of the Scriptures as God's inspired word. Learning through age-appropriate activities, games, and lessons makes the stories come alive to each child. There is intentional structure in Sunday School, allowing for purposeful learning with a variety of options in the curriculum to appeal to each child in the way that he or she will be most receptive and learning will be most effective.

11:00 AM Children's Worship-Chidren grades K-2 are invited to share in foundation, fellowship, and fun while Mom and Dad are in regular morning worship on the second and fourth Sunday of each month. Children attend the regular worship service and are excused during the Offertory. Understanding that children worship the Lord in a unique way, Children's Worship is designed to allow them to participate in age-appropriate praise music, Scripture lessons, and Bible verse memorization. Children's worship is intentionally not offered every Sunday so that parents will have the ability to teach their children about important aspects of "big church" (i.e., Communion and Baptism), and truly take advantage of "Parenting from the Pews." This is a large group of children, and growing each week...such a blessing!

5:00 PM Family Night Suppers-Each Wednesday during the School Year, families are encouraged to gather around our kitchen tables for fellowship with each other and other church folks! An alternative Kid's Menu is offerend each week. Please call the Church Office to make a reservation: 930-0911. (small fee). (Dinners are suspended during the summer months.)

6:00 PM Children's Choir-Led by the incomparably energetic Mary Merritt and her wonderful team of volunteers, the children participate in the Lottie Moon Kickoff in fall, themed spring musical production, and other opportunities throughout the year. Children's Choir meets in our new large assembly room upstairs on the Children's Hallway. This is also the room for Children's Worship.

6:45 PM Girls in Action (GAs)-Girls grades 1-5 participate in a missions-focused curriculum uniquely adapted to the lives of girls. They learn about missionary families and children who live at home and throughout the world. Throughout the school year GAs have mission requirements to fulfill in order to earn badges for each accomplishment. They are recognized at and end of the year award ceremony along with the Royal Ambassadors.

 

6:45 PM Royal Ambassadors-While the girls are meeting for GAs, the boys in grades 1-5 are meeting for Royal Ambassadors. RAs is the "brother" organization to GAs, and has a similar organization. Although the groups use different curriculum, the boys also receive a monthly magazine and are encouraged to participate in hands-on mission opportunities in service to the Lord. Often the RAs and GAs will team up for joint mission projects as well as weekend activities like hiking or derby car racing.
