I love them that love Me. Those who seek Me early shall find Me!
Proverbs 8:17

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, and that God's Word helps us learn about the greatness and goodness of God and the Lord Jesus. 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.  Caregivers who desire to demonstrate Jesus' love and care for your child.

What Will You Find?

• INFANTS being rocked to soothing lullabies and the prayers of their caregivers.
• TODDLERS being told how much Jesus loves them as they climb all over Middle Schoolers and Dads sitting on the floor or play with balls and blocks or blow bubbles.
• 2'S learning about God through guided play and purposeful conversation .
• 3'S, 4'S AND PreK's beginning to experience worship, child-targeted storytelling, small groups, and crafts and activities that reinforce the lessons shared.

Our Key Strategies

• MASTER ONE CONCEPT AT A TIME - Creatively repeat the Bottom Line in a way that will stick.
• TEACH LESS FOR MORE - Repeat one key truth (Bottom Line) all month long.
• ENGAGE THE FIVE SENSES - Help master the concept through creative activities.
• TEACH WITH THE END IN MIND - Help a child by age five, to believe:

1. GOD MADE ME
2. GOD LOVES ME
3. JESUS WANTS TO BE MY FRIEND FOREVER

• EXPERIENCE WORSHIP - Encourages children to talk to God any time, any place.
• CONNECT AT HOME - We want to partner with parents by providing them ideas for conversation with their child at home.

Sunday Morning

Each teaching session begins with ACTIVITIES TO INTRODUCE KIDS TO THE DAY'S TOPIC and help them feel welcome and comfortable in their classroom.

Next, preschoolers take part in a LARGE GROUP 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.
