Your hands made me and formed me; give me understanding to learn Your commands, may those who fear You rejoice when they see me, for I have put my hope in Your Word.

Program Overview:
Nursery:
Here is some important information for our volunteers:
Preschool:
Wee Worship (Two and Three-Year Olds): These precious little ones take their first steps in learning to worship a big, big God during Wee Worship! During the 10:30 worship service, two and three-year olds journey to the Wee Worship Chapel where they meet godly characters and engaging puppets. Weekly lessons are presented by these characters who plant seeds of truth through Scripture memorization, praise, prayer, and catechism. It is our prayer that your children will grow in their understanding of who God is through this worship experience.
Kingdom Kids (Four year olds): During the 10:30 worship service, preschoolers gather in the Preschool Chapel for their own Sunday morning service. Biblical storytellers and puppets lead your children on a chronological journey through God's Word. Children learn Scripture with motions, and experience praise and worship. Part of the training that goes on during this worship time is self control. These children learn to sit still and worship a holy God through teaching, prayer, and praise.
Elementary:
"Apostlelot" (2nd through 4th Grades): All children gather together at the end of Sunday morning classes for "Assembly" where they visit the land of "Apostlelot". Kingdom characters (and your kids!) learn how to work through real life dilemmas each week. The drama presentation focuses on the lives of faithful men and women throughout history and the godly character evident in their lives. At 10:30, parents may have their child attend Kids Connection or big church with their family.
Special Stones:
Our ministry on Sunday mornings to children with special needs is offered from 9 to noon. Children are taught Bible lessons from the Show Me Jesus curriculum in a loving environment of their own. The class Shepherd also leads the children in planned activities and music. Special Stones children participate in children's church during the 10:30 hour.
Covenant Keepers:
This is a unique ministry for 3rd through 12th graders to learn various skills (music, drama, puppets) which they can use to serve in God's kingdom. There are opportunities throughout the year for these Covenant Keepers to share their gifts, including Sunday mornings with preschoolers, a Christmas outreach, and monthly after-school outreaches.
