At Kids Jam (Jesus & Me), your child(ren) will find numerous activities to learn, grow, and thrive within our faith community. From igniting creativity to contributing to the community, there is something for everyone.
Kindness 101
This September we will begin our Sunday School year with an intergenerational study called Kindness 101. We will have all ages, birth through adult, join us in the Chapel each Sunday following our time of worship. We will begin with a few questions and watch a video together. Following the video, we will divide out by age groups for further discussion and activities. Age group breakdown will be:
Birth through 2nd grade in the Nursery
3rd-5th Grade in the Multipurpose Room
Middle School in the Youth Room
High School in the Conference Room
We will meet September 14, 21, and 28. No need to register in advance.
If you have any questions, please reach out to Pastor Jenny or Director of Technology and Online Communications Amanda Hinthorn.
Children’s Church
Children’s Church is held on Sunday mornings during our worship services September through May.
In Children’s Church, kids aged 3 years to 2nd grade meet in our nursery following the children’s sermon. We read a story, do a craft, play games and learn about God’s love.
Families of 3rd-5th Grade prepare to join us starting in October as we move to a Children’s Church model of Spiritual Education. Following the Children’s Moment in service our 3rd-5th graders will be invited to come with us to the Chapel as we explore “a spiritual curriculum that connects children with their own inner wisdom” and “helps children learn how to follow the path of Jesus in today’s world”.
