Nursery/Toddler Room – Babies and toddlers from birth to 2 ½
Preschool – the class for kids aged 2 ½ (with some potty training) through 4. This room is themed around rainbows, which remind us that God keeps His promises! This is the class for your child until they have completed one full year of preschool. We will divide our morning into a Bible story, a fun activity or craft, and lots of play time!
Pre K and K –We'll be "Camping Out" in our classroom, learning about Jesus, "the Light of the world." This class is for kids that are FOUR years old, have completed at least one full year of preschool, and are fully potty trained. There will be a Bible story, craft, learning center, and some play time as well!
Big Bible Memory Verses* Pre-K – John 3:16
Kindergarten – Galatians 5:22-23 (Fruit of the Spirit)
1st and 2nd
Come on into "The Treehouse!" We'll be equipping kids in this class to GROW in God's grace and truth. Our first and second grade class will be able to work through the age-appropriate stories and activities, and we can encourage more reading and writing activities.
• Big Bible Memory Verses* - 1st grade – The Lord's Prayer
2nd grade – The 10 Commandments
3rd and 4th
This group will now be our top-of-the-heap elementary class! We enjoy the playful decorations in our room, which reminds us to "Connect the Dots" in Scripture to our lives.
• Big Bible Memory Verses* - 3rd grade – Books of the Bible
4th grade – Psalm 23
5th and 6th - Club 65 will be engaging in fun and exciting curriculum that will explore the Bible in new, relevant, and interesting ways. We use four different curricula in order to give a variety of perspectives and cover a wide breadth of material. At this age, kids are ready to have topical discussions about challenges they are facing, see connections from object-based lessons, and look for ways to incorporate lessons into their everyday lives.
• Big Bible Memory Verse* - 5th grade – (The Beatitudes)
6th grade – 1 Corinthians 13 (The Love Chapter)
* A sheet can be found at each classroom and at the Children's Ministry Welcome Center with all of the Big Bible Memory Verses for your convenience! 5 Bible Bucks per passage!
During the congregational Worship Hour (10:15 am), there are classes available for all kids:
• Nursery/Toddler Room opens at 10 am
• Children's Church (age 2 ½ - Pre-K) – We will move our Pre-K kids from their Base Camp classroom to the Preschool classroom for this time.
• Children's Church K6 (for Kindergarteners - 6th grade) - We dismiss this group from the worship service following the Offering. You can pick up your children after the service downstairs in the classrooms as marked!There will not be content overlap between Base Camp and Children's Church, so if your family chooses to attend both Base Camp and Worship, your kids will have new and fun things to do each hour as they learn about Jesus!
Read the Bible three times per week to receive a Bible Buck.
