This curriculum uses a variety of fun learning activities, meaningful discussion questions and more, to help students become wholehearted followers of Jesus. Children learn how to explore and obey God’s Word, trust Jesus as Savior and tell others about Him.

Nursery
Our nursery workers provide a safe and friendly environment for your children from birth through 24 months. We want parents to be comfortable leaving their children in our care while they participate in worship. We recognize the importance in nurturing a child’s faith in God long before they can walk or talk through the warmth, security and supervision our caregivers provide. Loving adults from our congregation staff our nursery. There is a team of caregivers who are each assigned one Sunday per month. There is a closed circuit television in the nursery that allows the worship service to be viewed and heard while in the nursery. Nursery care is also provided during special services and as needed during other occasions.

Christian Soldiers

Christian Soldiers is for all 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders. We explore and study different scriptures, stories, and people of the Bible. We find fun ways to incorporate games, crafts, cooking, and more with our lessons. It is a fun, hands on, and active way to learn more about God, as well as build strong relationships with other youth their age. Christian Soldiers meets one time a month on the 2nd Sunday, with the exception of holidays that fall on this date, in which we reschedule to another time. For additional information you may contact Joleen Sloat or Mike Cronebach.

Upcoming Dates:  January 10 & February 14
