Kids In Grades 1 Through 4

We are always pleased to welcome new visitors and new friends to our growing community.

1st through 4th grade ministry is led by the caring team of Karla Reiland and Leah Reddy. Both Karla and Leah have children in the program and have a desire to see our children & families grow in their faith and relationships with each other.

What to expect

Faith Formation Grades 1-4 meets during worship on Saturdays at 5:30 pm, Sundays at 9:00 am, 10:30 am from Sept. to mid-May.

Kids begin in worship with their parents until the pastor calls the children forward for”Time with Children.” After the “Time with Children,” parents bring their kids downstairs to Room 117. We begin with a worship time, and each grade has something to do! We take an offering, sing, have a small-group prayer and then join together in the Lord’s Prayer.
Kids then participate in a variety of activities that support learning and encourage good faith habits. Activities include: art projects, service projects, drama, science experiments, Bible study, puppets, games, or music.
Parents and other adults support Faith Formation Grades 1-4 by being Faith Coaches (small group leaders) for a 1 month session during the school year. Coaches do not need to plan or lead lessons, just be a helpful adult presence.
