During the summer months, we are taking a break from Sunday morning Equipping Class, Children's Sunday School, and Wednesday evening Bible study.

We believe that parents ultimately are given the greatest responsibility to nurture the faith of their children through instruction, correction, and modeling (Ephesians 6:4, Deuteronomy 6:4–9). The church’s role is to encourage, exhort, resource, and train parents in their role as spiritual leaders of their children.  To that end, we seek to come alongside parents in the spiritual development of their children, not as primary disciple-makers, but as supplemental disciple-makers of these young people.

The following age-appropriate programs are available for children:

Nursery
Available for toddlers (ages 2-4 years old) during Sunday morning services.

Sunday School
Class is available for children from kindergarten to 3rd grade during Sunday morning services. The Gospel Project curriculum is currently being used.

Helping Kids Sit Through Service

Over the summer, we have the kids sitting in service on Sundays.  Here are a few suggestions to help your kids adjust.

Before the Service — Prepare
During the week:

  • Read the upcoming sermon passage together at least once.
  • Listen to Sunday’s song playlist with your kids—ask which song they like best, and sing one together.
  • Pray with them—pray for the preacher and for those who will gather.

Sunday morning:

  • Pack snacks, notepads, crayons, or colored pencils.
  • Pick up a children’s bulletin and crayons/markers at church.
  • Encourage a bathroom break before the service begins.

During the Service — Worship

  • Worship as you normally would: sing joyfully, take notes during the sermon, engage fully. Let your kids see that you’ve come to worship God. Their view of God and corporate worship will be shaped by you—model well.
  • Let them color or fill out their children’s bulletin.
  • Encourage them to sit quietly, stand to sing loudly and participate with you.
  • Whisper brief explanations about words or concepts they don’t understand in the sermon, or elements like the Lord’s Supper.

After the Service — Debrief

  • Ask your kids to share their bulletin with you. Talk about anything they drew, wrote, or wondered about.
  • Share what you learned and what encouraged you during the service.
  • Pray together, asking God to help you apply what you heard.
  • Back to step 1… start preparing for next week!
