CHILDREN'S MINISTRY

Our programs for children provide a fun, age-appropriate environment where toddlers through fifth graders can be transformed by God's love and guided by Jesus' truth while making wonderful new friends.

 

To learn more, contact the Church Office.

SUNDAY

FAITHLAND KIDS

DURING 9 & 10:30 AM WORSHIP SERVICES

TODDLERS are provided a safe, enriching environment where they hear short Bible stories and play under the watchful care of loving volunteers.

 

PRESCHOOL CHILDREN will discover that God made them, God loves them, and Jesus wants to be their friend forever as they explore bible stories, create crafts, and have fun playing with friends.

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILDREN will develop a deeper faith, learn how to make wise choices, and build strong relationships as they dig into the bible each week. The kids will start with high energy worship and bible adventures, then transition into small group experiences by grade.

WEDNESDAY

WEDNESDAY NIGHT LIVE

(REGISTRATION REQUIRED)

PRESCHOOL - 5TH GRADE • 6:00 - 7:30 PM

EARLY PRE-SCHOOL - KINDERGARTEN • 5:00 - 5:40 PM

Neither culture nor circumstance will ever fully define today’s kids. Instead, their worldview will be shaped and their path chosen by how well they come to know, love, and serve Jesus Christ - and that's why we've designed Wednesday Night Live. Through weekly small groups, worship, and high energy activities, kids in Preschool through 5th Grade will grow and expand their understanding of who God is - and have a blast at the same time!

WEDNESDAY NIGHT LIVE! DINNER

(REGISTRATION REQUIRED)

DINNER  •  5:15 - 6:00 PM

We've taken the work out of Wednesays for you by planning dinner for you and your family! We offer a pizza dinner each week. Pre-register weekly or choose a multi-dinner pass. $5 per person. Check the "Upcoming Events" page for open dinner registration.

WEDNESDAY

CHILDREN'S CHOIRS

1ST - 5TH GRADE: 5:00 - 5:40 PM 

PRESCHOOL - KINDERGARTEN: 5:40 - 6:00 PM

Children learn easy praise songs and get an introduction to performing by singing in worship throughout the year. Grade-school children learn wonderful Contemporary Christian songs, expressive motions, and have a lot of fun preparing to present these melodies to the congregation in worship.

 

1st-5th grade students also have an opportunity to audition for the Christmas and Spring musicals. Both free of charge.

 

Musical Rehearsals for those that have speaking roles are on TUESDAYS from 4:30 - 6:00 PM.

SPECIAL CHILDREN'S EVENTS

Light of Christ believes in the value of training families in developmentally appropriate spiritual practices. These are our special once-a-year opportunities for parents to plant a "spiritual seed" in the children's lives and grow together in faith with your child.

FIRST COMMUNION

FOR STUDENTS IN 5TH GRADE (& UP) AND PARENTS/GUARDIANS

NEXT CLASS: FEBRUARY 2027

 First Communion Classes are where your children will learn that Holy Communion is a sacred meal in which Christ comes to them in bread and wine. "This is my body given for you… This is my blood shed for you.” We believe those words to be true. Christ is truly present in Holy Communion. 

 

SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 7 • 9 AM -12 PM

Our Director of Children’s Ministry will host breakfast and lead an interactive learning session including attending the 10:30 AM service together as a group! Just kiddos in attendance for this one. 

 

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 9 • 6 -8 PM 

Our PATH Confirmation Coordinator will lead a Seder Meal that takes you and your child on a journey through a traditional Passover meal connecting it to the Last Supper. One grown-up should attend with your child. 

 

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 13 • 9 AM -12 PM

During our last session together, we'll split up into two groups and take turns practicing with & tasting all the elements with a Pastor, and stomping grapes & baking our own communion bread with our Children’s Ministry Director. One grown-up should attend with your child. 

 

SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 14 • 9 or 10:30 AM

FIRST COMMUNION OFFERED AT BOTH THE 9 & 10:30 AM SERVICES

Finally, you can choose which service your family would like to attend-- and this is when your child will receive their First Communion! Both services will be recorded, so you can share with your family the following week. 

 

Communion is more than just bread and wine…we look forward to helping your children discover the uncontainable presence, grace, love, forgiveness, and mercy of Christ that comes to all of us in the bread and wine. 

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL

JUNE 22 - 26, 2026 • PRE-SCHOOL - 6TH GRADE STUDENTS

Get your kids ready for a downpour of delight! Step through the mist into Rainforest Falls, overflowing with wild waterfalls, towering trees, and colorful creatures. Beneath a canopy of chattering birds and howling monkeys, kids plunge into a lifelong adventure of discovering the nature of God. They’ll explore what it means to be rooted in relationship with God, their creator, a safe place in life’s storms.

 

Rainforest Falls will be filled with awesome Bible-learning experiences for kids to see, hear, and touch! Hands-on crafts, team-building games, unforgettable Bible songs, and tasty treats are just a few of the standout activities that help faith flow into real life.

 

Plus, we’ll help kids discover how to see evidence of God in everyday life—something we call God Sightings®. 

 

We will also have two different mission projects for your kids to participate in. Our School Supply Drive provides necessary school supplies to families in our community and a fundraiser for My Best Friend’s Foundation that provides kindness and practical care to those fighting cancer, or who have lost someone to cancer.
