Welcome to Children's Ministries!
|
It is our desire
that children know and worship the Lord God as the Creator and Sustainer of all life, stand firmly on the Truth of scripture, and treasure God’s Word in their hearts and minds. |
It is our calling
to bring children to the place where they can meet Jesus, know Him as their personal Savior, and learn what it means to follow Him. |
It is our commitment
to provide times for children to learn and experience God’s love and grace as well as provide opportunities for families to gather together for encouragement and fellowship. |
-Paula Holmen, children's ministries staff and the ECC Children’s Commission

VBS Alert!! June 4-8
Time Lab…Discovering Jesus from Eternity Past to Eternity Future
Imagine traveling through time and meeting the most important man ever – a man who was not just a man but who was also God. One who turned the world upsidedown. One who existed outside of time! As we embark on this Time Lab adventure, we will use words beginning with “C” to help us remember that Jesus, our forever faithful, loving, caring, promising-keeping Lord has been with us always? We will use music, games, crafts, science projects and a live drama each night to explore all of these amazing truths of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
VBS will take place June 4-8. We will have supper starting at 5:30 and VBS from 6:00 to 8:30pm.

Awana!
Awana! Wednesday Nights!
Our Wednesday night Awana meeting is a time filled with energy, fellowship and spiritual growth. Each of our children’s clubs has its own unique meeting format, but in general Awana meetings are 1 ½ hrs and feature three main segments: Game Time, Handbook Time and Council Time. Game Time is comprised of exciting circle games exclusive to Awana played in the gym. Council Time is a large-group setting primarily dedicated to Bible teaching and presentation of the gospel. Handbook Time provides small-group interaction, recitation of Scripture that kids learned during the week, friendship building and opportunities for leaders to mentor children and help them understand the Bible verses they memorize. Here's what we do in Awana...we'd love to have you come along! |
Afterschool Celebrations
Filled with snacks, games, crafts, supper, movies and friends…who could ask for anything more? Be sure to ride bus #8 to the church after school and have your parent pick you up at 6:00pm. *Starts again in the fall! Sunday School!
We will gather on Sunday mornings (at 9:15) just after the Sunday morning worship service starts. Our time together will include a lesson time, activities, and small group time. You will be in a group together with kids your age and will have a teacher guiding and leading your small group time!
