Children’s Ministries

We consider this partnership with families in the task of caring for and training their children to be of great importance. We offer you an ever-expanding ministry that takes place each week: Sunday morning during our service time and weeknight evenings during the school year. We also have special events held at certain times of the year.

Children and Youth ages two through high school join us for the initial part of the Worship Service and then go to an age-graded program.

 
 

Nursery

We have regular toddler care available for children under the age of three. We also have an unsupervised Nursery for any parents needing a quiet place to attend to their babies during the service.

 

Kidz Church

On Sunday we seek to provide a broad-based learning opportunity for children aged 2 through high school that runs concurrently with the Sunday Service of Worship. This program runs according to the academic year with a Kickoff Sunday launching the school year on the second Sunday of September. Graduation Sunday concludes the year’s program activities in mid-June. During the summer school vacation period, we attempt to provide an open-concept play-learning activity for children up to grade five.

Our Sunday Children’s Ministry begins with children and youth of all ages joining their families in the main auditorium for the initial part of our Service of Worship. This segment of the Service is primarily musical and consisting of contemporary praise selections and high congregational participation. On occasion, there is a Dialogue with the young or a special lesson for the children before they leave for their own program.

Our Sunday Children’s Ministry is divided into Kidz Church and our Youth Program. To learn more about the Youth Program click here. Kidz Church is separated by age and grade into two departments as outlined below.

  • Primary: Elementary Department includes Two’s and Three’s Class through to Grade 6. The published curriculum is Gospel Light. Monthly drama events include a “Flipt” production. Ongoing special events include art projects, pizza day, scavenger hunt and game day.

  • Chaos (Christ Has All Our Solutions): Our junior youth class includes Grades 7 to 8. This class curriculum is geared to the young teen with many open discussion forums. This group participates in dramas for presentation to younger classes and the congregation.
