Kidz Praize is an active kid-style worship experience that allows children to worship and praise God on their level. At the 8:40 am worship service, children will join their parents in the Adult Worship Service and will be dismissed after the offertory to attend Kidz Praize where they will enjoy a Bible Story and craft.  During the 11:00 am  service children attend the service until the conclusion of  "Time for Children", then adjourn to Kid's Praize where they are divided into two separate age groups. Wee Kidz Praize is for children ages 3 through 1st grade.  Each Sunday Children
will enjoy a Bible story and craft until the conclusion of worship.  Kidz Praize is for 2nd through 5th graders.  Children will have an opportunity to participate in a kid-style worship experience where they will lead their very own worship service which would include music, Scripture Reading, Offering, Sermon and Prayer time.

Children's Music
Music is offered during Sunday School and on Wednesday evenings to re-enforce the Bible story.  Children are given the opportunity to worship God through singing in our age appropriate choirs.  The children performs in worship services periodically throughout the year.  They perform two musicals during the year -  a Christmas musical in December and a Spring musical in May.  We will soon be casting for our Christmas Musical, "The Bethlehem Project".

4th Graders are presented personalized Hymnals during the month of March.

Pre-teen Xtreme  is our ministry for fourth and fifth graders. The preteen years are a transition from being a child to being a teenage. Our goal is to bridge the gap between the children and youth ministries by offering very distinctive programs to meet the needs of preteens. We want to give preteens the tools and knowledge to help them make wise choices based on God’s Word and not on peer pressure. As they begin to want independence and to form their own opinions and thoughts on life issues, we want to be a place where they feel safe, and where they feel like they belong. We use exciting worship, awesome teaching, energetic small group discussions, skits, games and hangout time to connect with our preteens. Helping them discover who Jesus is and what that means to them is what Xtreme is all about.
Sunday School is offered from 9:40-10:40 am each Sunday morning upstairs in room 207. They will be using Hands-On Curriculum from Group Publishing where they will have fun diving into Bible activities and applying it to their daily lives.
Wednesday evenings we will have fourth and fifth graders digging into the Bible for answers to issues they grapple with the most.  We’ll be using cool videos, games, and weekly challenges that will guarantee they’ll have fun as they explore what they believe…and why they believe it!  We also offer our preteens a safe and secure website my.grapple.com where they can prepare for upcoming lessons, play games and interact online with their classmates.
Special Events and mystery nights will be provided throughout the year. Preteens just like to “hang out” together, and we want to give them an opportunity to “hang out” in a positive environment with other kids who are seeking to grow in relationship with Jesus.
