HOME CONTACT/ABOUT US WORSHIP KIDS/STUDENTS CONNECT/SERVE RESOURCES

We want our kids and students to know God loves them and to love Him back! We want them to grasp God's love and understand His promises to them. Staff and volunteer teams design experiences that are specific to each age as they present God's love and truths in a way that can be readily understood. We come alongside parents in providing spiritual nurture and care for our children and students. We have a security check-in/check-out system that adds protection to our nursery and children's programs.

During the ELEMENTS service on Sunday evenings, a full program is available for children from birth through grade four. Our student programming takes place on Sunday mornings as many students attend the ELEMENTS service with their families.

NURSERY Our nursery offers a secure and nurturing environment for children, birth-12 months. Parents can feel comfortable attending the ELEMENTS service knowing that their little ones are well cared for by our trained volunteers.

LITTLE BITS 1 & 2 Little Bits is a program for toddlers (Little Bits 1 is for 12-24 months; Little Bits 2 is for 24-36 months) that introduces them to God and Jesus through creative activities.

3-4-5 ALIVE! Kids ages three to five can learn biblical truths and concepts through story telling, music, crafts, puppetry, and other creative activities. Our adult leaders present opportunities for kids to learn and participate in both small and large group activities. The focus is simple: building healthy relationships with peers and adult leaders in a Christ-centered environment.

K-4 KIDMO! Our kindergarten through 4th graders enjoy a fun, interactive program with lots of large group activities through a dynamic, video-driven curriculum. Diverse learning styles are accommodated as kids have fun learning about Jesus.

ELEMENTARY Our Sunday programming for children in Kindergarten through grade five is designed for today's visually-oriented children. It's fast-paced, energetic and full of surprises!

Large Group: Children experience the excitement of large-group presentations with drama, music, storytelling, puppets, games and high-impact teaching. It's a fun environment that communicates the day's lesson in a variety of ways, helping students experience the message in a memorable fashion.

Small Group: Children experience the intimacy of a same-gender small group where the day's lesson is reinforced through discussion and fun activities. In the small groups, each child builds a relationship with a caring pair of leaders and is able to develop connections with other children their age.
