Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me..."
Matthew 19:14

FAQ's
Sunday School Classrooms - The Sunday School classrooms for all of the children will now be on the 1st floor of the Family Life Center (FLC). Classroom/s will be labeled accordingly.
Children Check In - All children MUST be checked in by a parent/guardian (not a brother or sister) at the Children’s check in desk in the lobby of the FLC (1st floor). We have a new welcome center set up downstairs at this desk, similar to that of upstairs so parents won’t have to miss out on coffee! At the desk, your child will be counted in attendance, receive a name tag, parents will receive a pager, and then parents can escort them to their new classes.
Children's Church - When Sunday School is over (10:30 AM), all teachers will bring their classes (Age 4 to 5th grade) to the stage where an opening celebration will take place to start Children’s Church. If you are arriving just for church and not Sunday School, you will need to check your child in at the desk at this time and then bring them to the stage before going up to the sanctuary. While the worship service is happening, your children will get to rotate (like in VBS) through Arts/Crafts, Music and Activities/Games that will tie to their Bible school lesson with a final wrap up back on the stage at the end. PLEASE NOTE that the FLC will be on lock down once the service starts so parents must ring the bell to get in.
Children's Check Out - When the worship service is over, all children MUST be picked up/checked out by a parent/guardian (not a brother or sister).
Younger Kids - Kids (Nursery - 3yr) will all be self-contained during these hours. The 2's-3's will have two connecting classrooms (one for teaching and one for crafts, music and games) and will have an opportunity to come out and play in the gym as well.
Older Kids - The 4th and 5th grader/s class will remain upstairs as a transition class before going to Youth. They are expected to sit in the worship service with the adults. Children’s Church is recommended but not mandated.
Curriculum - Curriculum we have is called DIG IN from Group Inc. It is a wonderful, web-based program that is going to take our kids through the Bible in one year. It is a fantastic, highly interactive curriculum that includes the elements of music, arts/crafts and games along with age appropriate biblical teaching. Parents will receive a take home sheet upon pick-up time that gives you a summary of the lesson, announcements and review activities to do at home.
