ChildrenThe early years are crucial in cultivating a child's deep, lifelong, personal faith in Jesus Christ. We consider it a privilege and an awesome responsibility to introduce children to Him. We feature an upbeat Kidz Church and smaller classes where kids dig deeper into each lesson with age-appropriate activities. Check out our calendar for the latest details on scheduled events or contact us at the church office for more information. We cherish the opportunity to help transform young lives for God's Kingdom. |

Elementary1st - 5th grade children will enjoy the upbeat Kidz Church with fun music, skits, and lessons - all leading to a closer relationship with Jesus. Smaller age-based classes allow more individualized instruction with time for discussion and applying biblical truths in young lives. |
Nursery & ChildcareSuzie Laupp, Childcare DirectorA combination of paid staff and volunteers provide care for children younger than two years during our services, special events and activities throughout the week. Our workers strive to show them the love of Jesus and pagers are provided so that we can reach you easily during the service. |
Preschool & KindergartenStacey Lego, Preschool DirectorAge-appropriate activities, music, and Bible lessons with lots of hands-on learning start building basic truths about God, Jesus, the Bible, prayer, and the church into young lives. Three, four and five year-olds are the perfect age to begin the timeless lessons taught by our loving Children's Ministry team. |
Special NeedsStacey Lego, Preschool DirectorIn Mark 16:15 Jesus said "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation." Jesus commanded us to reach everyone. His sacrifice was for every soul, including those with disabilities. We offer classes at each service but contact Stacy to confirm that our specialized staff will be available. We also offer a buddy for those who need extra assistance to be successful in their age appropriate class at all services. We also offer child care during the monthly Kid's Night Out and VBS events for all children. Your child is special and we want to treat them that way so feel free to join us and sit in for a week or two and see that we are a place for people like you - and your kids! |
Various ActivitiesTad Gilstrap, Children's PastorClub 45 is for all 4th & 5th graders. We meet in the Lighthouse sanctuary every Tuesday of the month from 6:30-8:00pm for a fun night of games, snacks and a lesson from God's word. Club 45 takes a summer break from June until mid-August. Please see the Children's Activities Calendar for the latest updates. Kidz Nite Out / Parents' Date Nite usually occurs on the first Friday of each month from 6 to 8:30 p.m. A variety of activities occur in the Lighthouse for children 3 years through 5th grade, while nursery/childcare for younger kids is available in the Family Life Center. Children should be fed before Kids Nite Out. Parents must check in their children and provide a cell phone number or emergency contact reachable during the activity. Occasionally, Kidz Nite Out is changed to another week to avoid conflicts with holidays and scheduled church activities. Vacation Bible School, Sports Camp, Summer Camps, Jr. Bible Quizzing, Kidz Choir and additional special events and activities are offered throughout the year. |
