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.
-Paula Holmen, children's ministries staff and the ECC Children’s Commission
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.

School Year Programs September thru May

“Feast and Family” every 2nd Sunday of the month from Sept - May at 11:45am 
Feast and Family is for families with kids at home (ages 0-high school) to come join us for lunch!  We’ll plan the meal, prepare and serve the food and do the dishes.  You just need to bring your family and enjoy the food and fellowship around the table, following the 2nd service on the second Sunday, September through May.  There is a small cost of $1 per child and $2 for adults.

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! 
Most of these ministries are highlighted below


VBS...Vacation Bible School   A sure highlight of our summer together!!

We have many different opportunities throughout the year for children and their families to connect and enjoy time together...whether it is learning more about their faith and relationship with Jesus or just enjoying the fellowship of each other!
