Programs


Sunday School

Sunday School is the foundation of learning who God is and His plan of salvation through Jesus Christ. Preschool Sunday School classes are based on your child's age in January and June when we promote. Children's Sunday School is a time of small group fellowship and Bible study. Promotion for children is in June based on grade.

Preschool Church

Preschool church is a worship service tailored to the preschooler's age and needs. A typical preschool church service includes a prayer time for the kids, a Bible story, a craft related to the story and playtime. Preschool church is for three year olds through Kindergarteners. Preschoolers are dismissed prior to the sermon and meet their teacher on the patio.

PraiseKid Children's Church

The purpose of PraiseKid is to involve kids (1-4 graders) in worship that is meaningful, fun and participatory. PraiseKid helps kids learn about worship, experience worship on their level and prepare them to participate in corporate worship. The kids will be sharing skits, scripture and music in corporate worship from what they have learned in PraiseKid. Children are dismissed from worship prior to the sermon and meet the teacher on the patio.

Worship Care

Worship Care is provided during the 10:45am service. Worship Care is for babies, toddlers, and two year olds. We have an 8 week rotation of parents and volunteers who care for our little ones during worship time.

Mission Friends

Mission Friends is for preschoolers ages 2 through kindergarten based on January and June promotions. Mission Friend's purpose is to help preschoolers explore sharing God's love with the world as they learn about other countries and states. Each month focuses on a different place and the Southern Baptist missionaries who serve there. Mission Friends also teaches Bible thoughts, art and music time, and mission action.
