Children

"Children are a heritage from the Lord" (Psalm 127:3).  Jesus welcomed children into His presence: "Let the children come to Me, and do not hinder them... (Luke 18:16).  Kid's Harbor is about welcoming our children to know the God who created them for His glory and went so far as to send His own Son to die for their sins.  "In this is love, not that we have loved God but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins" (I John 4:10).  What a privilege it is to bring good news to the next generation.

Our hope is that the biblical instruction provided through Sunday School and AWANA will be a means to assist parents in their God-given task to bring up their children in the care and instruction of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4).  In this sense, the Children's Ministry serves a strictly supporting role to encourage and equip parents to disciple their children.

Sunday School

9:30...

Kindergarten children are taught God's Word in individual classes each week, which meet in Rooms 222 & 224.

Children in 1st through 5th fifth grades are taught God's Word in a rotation of learning experiences from week to week.  The rotations include: Bible Story, Art, Cooking, Games, Science, and Video.  Children meet each Sunday in Room 138C for a large group gathering and then are led by adult "shepherds" to their assigned rotation.  Parents are asked to pick up their children at their rotation rooms.  The schedule and room locations are posted outside each rotation room.

Rotation Rooms: 138D, 138C, 138B, 138A, 210D & 226

• Children in Kindergarten through first grade meet in 
       Room 138C for Caraway Street.
