SUNDAYS
King's Island is a children's adventure on Sundays for Grades K-5. This program is devoted to teaching kids about Jesus. We have:
Excursion Hour (9-9:45 a.m.): Small group time involving Bible memorization, chapel, activites, and a prelude to the King's Island weekly focus.
Large Group (9:45-noon): Snacks and weekly scripture games at "The Lagoon" and chapel with worship songs, drama, puppets, lessons and more.
Each week is an exciting adventure at King's Island where children learn about the love of God, Bible truths and Bible characters. King's Island runs from September through May with Excursion Hour running all year long.
BIBLE QUIZ
Looking for a fun and unique way for your child to study the Bible? Junior Bible Quiz and Pee Wee Bible Quiz are available for K-5th graders. Teams meet Sundays at 8:45 a.m. $20 registration fee; scholarships available.
NURSERIES
Our nursery department provides safe, fun, and meaningful activities for children from newborn to preschool. This important ministry gives parents the opportunity to attend the Sunday and Wednesday Services and receive the ministry of the Word.
WEDNESDAYS
MEGA SPORTS CAMP
Mega
Sports Camp is the Wednesday, 7 p.m. summer program of our Children’s
Ministries, teaching kids how to overcome any obstacle or adversity by
relying on God’s provision. It begins with worship and short object
lesson based on the day’s key point, then breaks into smaller groups:
Pee Wee (Pre-K & Kindergarten), Soccer, Basketball, Baseball,
Softball, Cheer and Pep Club (crafts & cooking).
WILD & WONDERFUL WEDNESDAYS
The Wednesday evening program during the fall, winter and spring, for Grades 1-5, combines small group
devotional time with breakout groups that let kids use their talents
and have fun! Children choose between the Stick ministry, Worship Team,
Drama, Dance, Hand Bells, Art/Building or the Kids' Praise Children's
Choir.
PRE K & K
Little ones learn more about God in a fun, caring environment that includes large and small group teaching. Simple object lessons are used to reach the children that include stories, puppets, songs, activities, and crafts! All children 4-5 years are welcome to attend this group on Sundays at 9 a.m. and Wednesdays at 7 p.m.
S.P.E.C.I.A.L.: Special People Encouraging Children's Involvement And Learning
S.P.E.C.I.A.L. helps children who are mentally, physically or behaviorally challenged by pairing them with a "Cheergiver" who can give them one-on-one care. A Cheergiver can help focus attention, assist with physical limitations and allows the child to participate in class activities.
