SUNDAY MORNING MINISTRIES


KIDS THREE YEARS THROUGH FIFTH GRADE


10:00am: Kids Worship

This is a time where all school aged children gather in the Clubhouse to participate in worship, activities, and a story unveiling the characteristics of God's own heart.


9:00am: Sunday School

There are four Sunday school classes for children three years through 5th grade that each goes as follows:


  • Lions (3-5 years old)- Yellow Room
    Our Preschoolers have age-appropriate lessons and crafts as they move through the bible on a basic level. The goal of young lions is to discover their roars, likewise, the lions class is focused on helping these children discover their voices as they interact with others and God's word. They use many hands-on lesson tools and activities as they begin to grow in their understanding of God's word. 


  • Gardners (Kindergarten-1st Grade)- Green Room
    The focus in this age group and class is to become more like the true Gardner to the vine. We are learning to plant spiritual seeds that we must help nurture, develop, and grow in ourselves and in others.


  • Fishermen (2nd-3rd Grade)- Blue Room
    The focus of this age group and class is to become like the faithful followers of Jesus by becoming fishers of men (and women). We must learn how to go out looking for those who need to hear about Jesus and help bring them to him.


  • Shepherds (4th-5th Grade)- Clubhouse
    The focus of this age group and class is to become like the good shepherd. We want to learn how to go out to guide, care for, and protect the Lord's flock.


BIRTH THROUGH TWO YEARS


9:00 & 10:00am: Nursery Lambs (0-3 years old, or until potty-trained)


Our youngest ones enjoy a secure soothing environment with age-appropriate toys, baby equipment, and play. In this room, children are nurtured by faithful followers in Christ with the goal of each and every child "never knowing a day that they don't know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior".

WEDNESDAY NIGHTS

CARAVANS - 6:30PM

Think of Caravans as the Nazarene version of Boy/Girl Scouts! Any children K-5th grade are invited to join us to grow their Biblical knowledge, grow friendships, and learn about our Nazarene Heritage.


Caravan emphasizes spiritual formation and provides opportunities for children to:

● Grow in their faith.

● Discover and use essential skills.

● Develop self-esteem.

● Experience positive relationships and a sense of belonging.

● Participate in outreach and service projects.

● Learn about their Christian heritage.
