Weekend Classes
Classes are available for infants through 6th grade during the weekend services at
- 5:00 and 6:45 p.m. Saturday
- 9:00 and 10:45 a.m. Sunday
Nursery (Birth through 24 months)
In our Nursery our ratio of infants to loving volunteers is 1 to 3. Our volunteers will carefully and lovingly attend to all your child's needs while sharing the love of Jesus with them. The safety of the children is one of our highest priorities, physically and spiritually. To ensure safety every child can only be released to the person who originally signed them in. We understand that early impressions have a lasting effect so we strive to help your little one feel safe, secure and loved while with us. Feel free to stop by and talk to our staff and see our rooms this weekend.
Early Childhood (Age 2 through Kindergarten)
Your child will be invited into a class based on their birth date to offer the best environment for them to learn about the love of Jesus. Through Bible stories, music, hand-on activities, and personal quality time, our dedicated team of volunteers lay a foundation of love and trust. We strive to help them see that the Bible has life-changing lessons to help them discover a personal relationship with Jesus.
Elementary (Grades 1 through 6) Your child is invited to attend classes based on their grade. Every weekend our dedicated team of volunteers set out to encourage all children to experience a time of worship, Bible study, hands-on activities, and small group discussion. In a safe, non-threatening setting we explore with your child the truths in the Bible, how these truths can be applied to life today, and your child's need for a personal relationship with Jesus. Come on by and check out what we have to offer this weekend.
