KIDS CONNECTION
Starts at 9:15 and lasts until 10:15 a.m. on Sunday mornings.
Kids Connection refers to the idea that we want kids to "connect" or interact in these important relationships with God, their families, their church family, and with those outisde their church "in the world" in ways that are pleasing to the Lord.
Kids Connection has 4 groups
*Toddler (2 to 3 years)--10 to 20 minutes of simple Bible stories from Show Me Jesus series with supervised play the rest of the hour.
*Pre-School (4 to 5 years)--Show Me Jesus series.
*Middle Elementary (K5 to 4th grade)--interactive model with Bible stories/lessons, music, Bible memory, crafts and/or games.
*Grapple Group (5th and 6th grade)--topical, discovery approach to Bible learning.

Junior Church
Jr. Church is a spiritually enriching and educational opportunity for our younger church members offered each week halfway through the adult worship services. Youngsters of Pre-school age (4 yrs. old through 1st grade) are accompanied out to a classroom with an approved adult teacher for lessons from a curriculum that teaches Bible truths in ways that are relevant to kids. Children are offered snacks and age-appropriate activities, such as simple crafts and games.
We also have a playground for younger children protected by fencing and equipped with benches and table for parents to enjoy.
