Early Childhood
Our goal in early childhood is that all preschoolers learn thse 3 basic truths:
- God made me
- God loves me
- Jesus wants to be my friend forever
Nursery & Tots
These rooms provide more than just childcare. We offer a loving enviroment and are working with these youngsters to learn more about God. We offer them a story and songs each week that will help them learn the basic truths.
Wee Worship
This program is offered at 9:00 and brings our preschoolers from all 3 classrooms together in one group. This is like "Children's Church." We offer a lesson, Bible verse and songs.
Wee Grow
This program is offered at 10:30 and puts the kids in their age approriate rooms. During this Sunday School hour the kids get the same message, told a little differently, crafts, center time and music.
We have found that the kids really get a lot out of both Wee Worship & Wee Grow. By teaching this way we are trying to reach kids how they learn best. Come and check it out!
"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6
"God is love." 1 John 4:16
Hidden Treasures
"I have hidden Your Word in my heart that I might not sin against You." Psalm 119:11
This is a program designed to encourage your preschooler to memorize scripture and to help reinforce the Bible stories from Sunday mornings.
Your child will say his or her verse each week to either you or me, then we’ll sign off that the child said the verse. Once the sheet is full at the end of the month, your child will be able to choose a prize. There are also some “extras” in the back of the folders for you to work on with your child as you feel he or she is ready. As the children complete these lessons, they will earn special prizes.
We have 2 levels of memorization. Level 1 is designed for children in the Kitty class and open to those in the Bunny class if you feel they are ready to give it a try. Level 2 is designed for children in the Puppy class. Level 1 will have the same memory verse each week and will include coloring pages or other activities to help them remember the Bible stories. Level 2 will have a different verse each week and will include activity pages that go along with the Bible stories and verses.
After hearing your preschoolers recite their verses each week and seeing their excitement about learning God’s Word, I am excited to see them grasp this program and become more like Jesus. You can pick up a folder for your child Sunday mornings.
