Children Ministry
Our mission: To provide ministry that contributes to the faith formation of the children in our care as they grow as disciples of Christ.
Our vision: Worship, Faith Formation, Mission & Relationship Building
To include our children in weekly worship.
To provide weekly biblically based education.
To provide mission education and mission giving of our time.
To provide opportunities for relationship building through both large and small group experiences.
Worship:
Nursery Care is provided for children ages 6 months through four years of age in Room 207. The room is staffed by two caregivers during each worship service.
Children K- 5th Grade are invited to attend weekly worship at either 9:00 or 10:45 a.m.
During the school year, the children may exit worship just prior to the sermon to attend a fellowship time with games, songs and snacks.
During the summer months, a children’s chat is offered during worship to help students be further engaged in worship.
Faith Formation:
Children K – 5th grade are invited to Sunday School from 10 – 10:30 a.m. in Room 301 or 302. A bible lesson is presented by one of our highly trained (and background checked) volunteers. Parents are invited to participate as a helping hand or they may enjoy coffee fellowship time during this time.
Mission:
Second Serving Mission Opportunities are offered on select months of the year. Families can attend this program from 10 – 10:30 a.m. (no Sunday School on these special Sundays) to hear from one of our WPC mission partners and participate in a hands on opportunity to serve.
Relationship Building:
Fourth & Fifth Grade Fellowship Events such as bowling, volleyball skills camp, ice skating and Sky Zone are offered on a quarterly basis for these students to deepen their relationship with one another and get a taste of what it’s like to be involved in our youth group.
Christmas Eve Pageant:
This wonderful tradition allows our children the opportunity to participate in the story of Christ’s birth as we practice several times throughout the month of December to prepare for a Christmas Eve worship service featuring the pageant.
Easter Egg Hunt:
This fun event happens on Easter morning so that our children (and any of their invited guests) can engage with one another as we celebrate the holiday.
Vacation Bible School:
Held the third week of July, this four day event is a great way for students Kindergarten through Fifth grade to deepen their biblical knowledge while having fun with friends in different workshops such as storytelling, crafts, science and games.
