A Sneak Peak At Upcoming Curriculum

SonSeekers
Infants thru Pre-Kindergarten

We want our SonSeekers to understand that God loves and cares for us, that He sent His Son, Jesus, to show His love for us. We want to help each child respond by demonstrating love for God through kindness, helpfulness and thankfulness, and by talking to God in prayer.

Our Infants-PreK's are cared for in a safe, loving environment designed to meet their particular needs. Those who serve them desire to be Jesus to them - to demonstrate Jesus' love and care.

Parent Cue App
This Parent Cue App provides you with simple CUES throughout the week that remind you to pause and make the most of everyday moments.

Every month, Parent Cue will focus on one specific virtue, or life application. You will receive prompts for videos, activities, discussion questions and more that will help you connect with your child around this one key virtue. These prompts will come in the form of Drive Time videos, Hang Time activities, and Meal Time discussion starters to help you fit them into the day-to-day moments of your routine. There’s even a section just for you called Parent Time that’s filled with parent blogs, podcasts and more.

Sunday Morning 9:00 & 10:40, Saturday at 5:30.
Each Service there are ACTIVITIES TO INTRODUCE KIDS TO THE DAY'S TOPIC.

Preschoolers take part in a TEACHING TIME THAT INCLUDES A BIBLE STORY AND WORSHIP. We believe preschoolers are wired to worship! So each week we include a worship segment with suggested music to encourage preschoolers to openly express their love for who God is and to praise Him for all He has created.

After large group, preschoolers take part in a variety of ACTIVITIES THAT HELP THEM APPLY WHAT THEY'RE LEARNING.

Finally, children will begin to understand that they can talk to God at any time and in any place. Our little ones will get their first taste of a SMALL GROUP EXPERIENCE WHERE THEY WILL BE ENCOURAGED TO OPENLY COMMUNICATE WITH GOD in their own words while developing their ability to know and worship Him.
