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.

Seedlings

Seedlings is offered for children ages 3 through 1st grade on Sunday mornings. Children come to the main worship service and sing with their family members and then are released to attend Seedlings during the parts of the service that may be more difficult for little minds to take in.

Awana Clubs

The Awana name is taken from 2 Timothy 2: 15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. Awana Wednesday nights are offered from September through May.

Sunday School

We will gather on Sunday mornings at 9:00am. Our time together will include a lesson time, activities, and small group time. Your child will be in a group with kids their age and will have a teacher guiding and leading small group time.
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 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!

​If you are a young adult, young couple or family with children at home (babies-youth group age) this invitation is for you!  Once a month the children’s commission and volunteers are planning/serving a lunch following the morning worship service for you and your family.   We will be serving a main dish, fruit/veggie salads (kid-friendly), dessert, and beverages.  There is a small cost of $2 adults/ $1 kids to help with the cost of the food.  What a great time to linger a bit longer, visit together, and have lunch taken care for the day!

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.
