Children's Faith Formation
Children’s Ministries serves disciples ages 4 years through 5th grade with weekly faith formation opportunities during morning and evening worship services. There are two age group offerings: 4-year-olds through 2nd grade, and 3rd grade through 5th grade. Faith formation is taught by Children’s Ministry pastors and staff, supported by faithful volunteers.
Wonder Hour
Children, ages 3 through 5th grade are encouraged to attend Wonder Hour, a dedicated time for faith formation, Sunday Mornings from 9:15 to 10:15. The children are divided, by age group, into three classes: ages 3 & 4 in room 208; ages 5 years through 2nd grade in room 207; and 3rd, 4th, & 5th grades in room 209.
The Children's Ministry uses the PC(USA)'s curriculum, "Follow Me: Biblical Practices for Faithful Living." This curriculum is based on practices Jesus did and taught us to do as faithful followers. It examines where these practices are found in the Bible and how they have been used in the Christian faith then and now.
Our littlest disciples will use "Play-n-Worship: Play-Along Stories for Preschoolers." They'll toss bouncy balls in the air to make rain for Noah's Ark. They'll clang building blocks together to make thunder and learn how God calms a storm. They'll hug and hold baby dolls and hear about God's great care for them!
Below are the topics we will cover that month. To prepare supplies adequately, we ask families to register their child(ren) for one or both of the four-week sessions; however, if your child(ren) has not registered, they are still welcome to join.
Children's Chapel
During Sunday Worship, after The Time For Young Disciples, children, ages 3 to 5th grade, leave the sanctuary and go to the chapel, where they sing, pray, and explore scripture. Weather permitting, they can be picked up from the playground.
Wonderful Wednesdays
Join us during the Fall for Wonderful Wednesdays: a six-week program designed to hone our children’s talents and interest in the creative and performing arts. This program for 4-year-olds through 5th grade will culminate in our children sharing their talents in worship. Registration for this program is required, and our $25 fee will cover art supplies, a t-shirt, and snacks and fellowship. For more information, please contact Cindy Jennings
