Children's Ministry

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven."

Matthew 19:14



Leading the next generation into a growing relationship with God by teaching them Biblical truths with joy and passion

Sunday Mornings

9:30 am-10:30 am

Nursery (Birth - 4 years old)
Each week, children hear a Bible story through drama and storytelling using Frolic – Little Steps, Big Faith curriculum. Our desire is to send your children forth each Sunday with the Bible story on their minds and in their hearts. Our wonderful Nursery staff love to share Jesus with your children!

Children's Church (5 years old - 2nd grade)
Each Sunday, children follow the crucifer down the aisle and turn right then take the stairs up to the Emmaus Room. Together we discuss stories from the Old and New Testaments using God’s Big Picture by Gospel Light. Puppets, drama, and music bring these Bible stories to life! For more information, contact Lee Ann Hester at 387-0566, ext. 210.

Junior Worship (3rd grade - 5th grade)
Jr. Worship students follow the cross and turn right then take the stairs up to the The Café, where they learn more about their personal relationship with Jesus Christ and his great love for each of them through reading, discussing, and meditating on Scripture; prayer; Bible memory; hymn singing; and learning the Creeds. During this time, it is our hope that the children will not only grow in their understanding of the Lord and their love for him, but will also learn to care for one another and the world around them. For more information please contact Ruth Brewbaker or Lee Ann Hester at 387-0566 ext. 210.

11:00 am

Sunday School 
Kingdom Story Level I  & II 
We are delighted to offer Kingdom Story to the children of Christchurch. The Kingdom Story curriculum gives children the “bigger picture” of Scripture and God’s eternal plan in Christ. Each lesson points to Jesus as the Promised King and reveals his character, attributes, and love. Elements of Catechesis of the Good Shepherd and Godly Play are offered to enrich this time in God’s word. Younger children, 3 ½ years old through kindergarten, gather in the Hidden Treasure Room, while older children in 1st and 2nd grade gather upstairs right off the elevator in the church building. For more information, contact Lee Ann Hester or Ruth Brewbaker at 387-0566, ext. 210.

Sunday School for Older Children -  (3rd grade - 5th grade)
This class seeks to lay a solid spiritual foundation for our children as they move toward middle school, teaching them to see their world through a Biblical lens. Our teaching team uses Hearts Alive: A Gospel Based Children’s Lectionary to help students discover God through his word and a relationship with Christ. Don’t miss our Sunday School in the Gideon Room upstairs in the church building! For more information, contact Jeff Pollard 430-2279 or Dinah McLemore 220-8398.
