Kids Age 3 Through Kindergarten

Faith Formation for Kids Age 3 through Kindergarten meet Sundays at 9:00 and 10:30 from Sept. to mid-May

“Time with Children.” After “Time with Children,” parents will walk their 3-Kindergarteners to Room 218 (Across from the nursery) for a fun, interactive music time. Children will experience God’s love through creative activities including Bible stories, arts and crafts, movies and games. Throughout the year we have seasonal Family Festivals that feature fun, faith-based activities for all ages to enjoy together!

Parents and high school students support Faith Formation for Kids Age 3 through Kindergarten by being age-group leaders for a 1 month session during the school year. Our parent co-op leading is vital to the success of our faith formation programs.

Kindergarteners are invited each year to bring their backpack to worship in September to be recognized for a big milestone in their life. Backpacks are our children’s constant companions as they go about their days at school. We will give each child a tag to put on their backpack to remind them that God is with them in their daily life and that their church family will be praying for them throughout the year.
