Children's Sunday Programs

Nursery Program: 9am & 10:30am
This is for children 2 and under. We provide more than just babysitting. We nurture the smallest members of our congregation physically, emotionally and spiritually.

Preschool program 10:30am
This is for preschool aged children ages 3 up to Kindergarten (that are potty trained). This program features various activities such as Bible stories, hands-on crafts, games and songs

Kindergarten 10:30am
Due to the amount of children in this age group we only offer Kindergarten class for the 10:30 service. This program also features various activities such as Bible stories from Children's Ministry Resources and also Cooks Resources, hands-on crafts, games and music time.

Grades 1 to 6 - 10:30am
Because children learn in different ways, we are utilizing a variety of methods to teach them about the Lord and the joys of following Him. 

  • Kids are assigned to a dedicated adult teacher with whom they meet each week in age appropriate groups.

  • During the Sunday school hour, kids begin worship time in whole group Children's Church learning songs, Bible stories and participating in offertory and prayer. Students then meet with grade level teachers for their age appropriate Bible lesson.
Our teachers are volunteer based. If you are interested in helping with any of our Sunday School, please contact Linda Dick, Sunday School Coordinator, at 209-772-9548 ext. 16.
