Children’s Ministry on Sundays
Pre-K Sunday School – This class meets on the second floor across from the nursery. Students learn stories from the Bible and have activities that encourage them to move around and make noise.
Children’s Sunday School – Students will learn from the Bible and about the rhythms of the church.
Nursery – We have a dedicated nursery for parents to drop off their toddlers during the worship service. Parents can also bring their toddlers to the nursery for calming.
Acolyte Ministry – Each Sunday, two students, who have received training, begin the service by lighting the candles on the alter table and conclude the service by carrying the Light out of the sanctuary.
Children’s Moment happens in the sanctuary as part of our regular worship; children are invited up front to receive a short lesson from a volunteer.
Children’s Church – Children begin in the sanctuary and then are dismissed at about 10:15 am to the 3rd floor for spiritual formation that is geared towards their age and learning style.
We have a class designed for students from Pre-K through kindergarten. They learn a Bible lesson each week, make friends, and do activities.
We have a class designed for students from 1st to 5th grade. They learn a Bible lesson, build friendships, do activities, and play games together.
Children’s Ministry Wednesday Nights (seasonal)
Wesley Warriors meets at 5:30 pm, this is a singing and instrumental music ministry designed for students in kindergarten through 5th grade. Students learn songs and practice for a brief performance to share during worship in the spring. In the fall, students prepare for a Christmas Program with singing and acting on the night of the first Sunday in December.
JAM (Jesus and Me) is for pre-school children. They sing familiar songs and learn new ones together. Play time is also incorporated into this ministry. For the last 10 minutes, JAM joins Wesley Warriors for group singing. JAM also participates in the performances and Christmas Program throughout the year.
Youth Ministry
Youth Group is for student’s 6th through 12th grade, led by Pastor Korley. Souled Out Youth meets on Wednesday nights at 6:15 in the youth room.
The youth group meets for food and fellowship before focusing on a life application lesson. At various times throughout the year, the youth visit local eateries including Nash Creamery where they navigate the corn maze, bowling, or an overnight retreat.
Each summer, our youth participate in a local service outreach camp called Mission Possible. Youth stay on-site in Bell Buckle. Service groups are sent out into the community to complete service projects. In the evenings, youth attend worship and then have free time for fellowship and games.
On Sunday morning, the youth meet for Sunday School in the youth room at 9 a.m. prior to the worship service. The youth also are encouraged to serve as Communion Stewards, Ushers, or help in Children’s church on a rotational basis.
