Children's Ministry
Sunday School
(Infants to 5th graders)
9:45 a.m.
We are currently following the Spark: Activate Faith Curriculum. This curriculum explores key stories from Genesis to the letters of Paul in a two-year cycle. These lessons provide an age-appropriate study of the Bible while prioritizing hands-on learning and encouraging children to experience the salvation arc each year by exploring the Old Testament in the Fall and the New Testament in the Spring.
Our program supports families in the faith formation of children at home. All ages study the same Bible story simultaneously, our lessons are centered around the Spark Story Bible (gifted to each family by the church) and additional faith formation ideas provided in our weekly Family Page.
Kids’ Kirk
(4 year olds to 1st graders)
11:00 a.m.
Children attend worship and are escorted to Kids’ Kirk after Children’s Time. Our teachers present the same lesson from Sunday School, reinforcing learning through repetition while also taking time to “wonder” and ask questions to engage with God’s word. We introduce and practice specific worship components (Call to Worship, Offering, Scripture/Story, Response, etc.) in a safe environment. This time fosters fellowship through snack time, playtime, and creative expression (art), while also encouraging each child’s sense of belonging and participation in the worship life of our church.
Nursery
(Infants to 3 year olds)
11:00 a.m.
We are currently following the Frolic Nursery Curriculum that was developed by early childhood experts and introduces little ones to faith concepts in age-appropriate ways. It starts Faith formation at birth, nurturing faith through storytelling, prayers, and music.
Even in the younger age groups, our program supports families in the faith formation of children at home. Our lessons are centered around Frolic First Bible (gifted to teach child by the church). We provide access to Frolic Board Books, extending curriculum into key themes to share at home. Additional faith formation ideas are provided in take-home nursery cards.
