Our Philosophy

It is our goal at in this children's ministry to see more and more people in the church catch the vision of ministering to children. More people come to know the Lord as a child than at any other stage of life; every person involved in our ministry understands that they are soul winners for Christ. It is our belief that each moment spent loving, nurturing, and ministering to our children changes not only their lives, but ours also.

It is our confidence that the Lord will allow God to use us to instill in our children the certainty that He loves them and that He desires to be their Savior and Lord.

We strive to make each child feel welcome and important. God's Word tells us that we have all been made in His image and likeness and that we are precious to Him. Your child will receive just as much attention as any other.

BABIES

The nursery staff sees their role as more than just baby-sitting but it is ministry to these little children and ministry to the parent so they can worship knowing their child is well cared for.  While your little one is in our Nursery, they are being held, comforted, rocked into heavenly peace, smiled at, played with, sang to, and the list goes on.

Even more so, we pray over your child, speak the life giving Word of God into them, and show them the loving-kindness of the Lord.

TODDLERS

We have separate classes for toddlers and preschoolers and have curriculum to minister to children at their age level. The toddlers' class is a more active learning environment. As you know, toddlers have a very short attention span. Our teachers focus on teaching them through worship, play, through stories and even through their craft and snack.  Each child brings home their own masterpiece to show Dad and Mom what they learned.

We encourage parents to place their artwork in the child's room on the refrigerator so you can go over it again during the week and reinforce with them what they learned.

PRESCHOOL

The children gather with the other classes for combined worship and then return to their class. They learn about the scriptures and biblical application through stories that are illustrated by audio re-enactment and song.  The children have small hands on projects they work on to enhance the learning. They can bring these papers home to read over with their parents.

ELEMENTARY CLASSES

We have classes for our elementary children to learn and grow in the Lord together.  The elementary students gather for worship and then go to their appropriate class for Sunday School or Kids Church.

WHAT CURRICULUM DO YOU USE?

We are using David C. Cook Bible In Life curriculum for our Toddler classes and Group Publishing's Faith Weaver Curriculum for our sunday school classes.

Our kids church ministry for ages 8-12 are using curriculum from Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa that brings the children through the Bible giving them a good solid foundation in the entire scripture.
