KIDS' CHURCH
GRADES K5-6th
School can make your child smarter, sports can make them stronger, but our Kids’ Church can make them a better Christian and the very best they can be for themselves and for others!
Our Kids’ Church is held in our lower level during our regular Sunday morning worship services at 9:00 and 10:30. Through age-appropriate art projects, videos, and games, your child will explore the most important stories in the Bible and the teachings and message of Jesus.
Whether a Little Fox (our preschoolers), a Faith Explorer (K5-3rd grades), or a Faith Builder (4th-6th grades), your child will learn about their faith, have lots of fun, and make friendships that will grow throughout their years at our church.
So sit back, enjoy worship, and know that your kids are in good hands in this very special program!

PRESCHOOL
KIDS' CHURCH
P3/K4
Our preschool Kids' Church program is a fun, lively, and loving introduction to God and our church. If your child is nervous about coming to church, no worries! They will soon be having a great time and making lots of new friends. We write our own curriculum to make sure it exactly fits the needs of our kids.

You can email Sue Jurack, our Director of Preschool KIDS' CHURCH, or Julie Schlifske, Director of Children's Ministries.

FIRST COMMUNION
5TH GRADE
Our Saturday morning instruction takes place in a very special bread-baking class, which is usually held in January. With the help of some of our church’s more talented bakers and several parent-volunteers, our 5th graders make, from scratch, the bread that they will use the next morning in their own First Communion. While they are making their bread--and waiting for it to rise--they learn about the meaning of Communion in small discussion groups with the pastors. They also get to take a much anticipated tour up to the top of the church steeple with Pastor Bill!
First Communion instruction provides a wonderful way for the 5th graders to explore their faith more deeply and to get to know one another much better.
First Communion follows on the next Sunday morning at both the 9:00 and 10:30 services.
Workshop - January 4, 2025
Our First Communion Workshop is generally held on a Saturday early in January, followed by the First Communion service the next morning during both services.

NURSERY
BIRTH – UNDER 3 YEARS OLD
Our nursery cares for our youngest members—those under 3 years old—so that their parents may fully participate in and enjoy worship.
The nursery is located in our lower level--just a few steps up to the right as you come down the main staircase from the sanctuary. We try to have the same two caretakers each week so that our littlest ones can enjoy the consistency of seeing the same faces each week. We livestream our service into our nursery should you need to stay a bit with your child.

OUTREACH
SERVING OPPORTUNITIES FOR KIDS
We believe that it is important to share what we have with others and to develop this habit of giving in our children.
Our Kids' Church curriculum includes one outreach project for each rotation unit. These special outreach projects are designed specifically for children and are tied thematically to the particular Bible story we are studying. In recent years, the Sunday school has collected food for local food pantries, collected money to purchase chickens and goats for families in Tanzania, collected change for rice for children in orphanages, collected toys for Operation Christmas Child, and participated in an “Acts of Kindness” campaign.
The children of our church are also invited to participate in all-church outreach projects, including our annual Service Day.
