3 years old: Noah’s Ark Park
This class provides a foundation for children 3 years old (by Aug 31) to know God and begin to have a relationship with Him. Using the Bible as the foundation for each lesson, children learn wonderful truths about God’s love. These truths are presented through object lessons, puppets, crafts, and activities. The Park is located in the Family Center.

4 years old: Critter Land
Critter Land’s curriculum continues to introduce God to our 4 year olds (as of Aug 31). Using the Bible as the basis for teaching each lesson, children begin to learn what it is to be in relationship with God, our Father. These truths are presented through object lessons, puppets, crafts and activities. You can find Critter Land in the Family Center.

Elementary Programs

Available during the 9:00 and 10:45 a.m. Sunday morning services

Kindergarten – 5th graders: CrossWalk
Kindergarten – 5th graders get together to focus on the basics of prayer and worship, time in God’s Word, and paying close attention to God’s will. Children will experience a new Bible story and scripture study each week through fun and meaningful activities. They will practice applying God’s truth to everyday life. This will include practice in using the Bible, so please encourage students to bring their Bibles to class each Sunday. The learning never stops! Look for us in the Children’s Ministry wing.
