Children’s Sunday School (PK–5th grade) meets on campus on Sundays from 9:45-10:45am.
From nursery during worship services and Sunday School to Connect on Wednesday nights and special events, it takes hundreds of volunteers each year to serve our youngest worshippers at Second.
There are a variety of ways to serve with our Children's Ministry—once a month, bi-monthly, every Sunday, and only for special events (VBS, Family Fun Night, etc.). We need Sunday School teachers, nursery desk workers, Connect discipleship leaders, and more, and we'd love to discuss the options with you!
Read detailed descriptions of the various roles here.

It’s never too early to introduce your child to the love of Jesus. Long before they can write their names or recite the alphabet, these little ones can take their first steps in a lifelong journey of faith. The preschool ministry is reflective of our desire to join with you, their parents and church family, to ignite their desire for the Lord.
One of the ways we teach our preschool children about the love of Jesus is by learning the catechism together. You can join us in this endeavor by encouraging your children to practice them at home!
Through Bible teaching and nurturing relationships, we seek to help children in elementary school develop a solid Christian worldview to guide them through the coming years.
Register your 2nd-5th grader to join us on Wednesday evenings beginning August 23 to get connected to the church, awesome leaders, other kids their age, and God’s Word. Each week we'll have games in the gym, singing, and a Bible lesson. Drop-off is at 6:15pm in the Recreation Gym Lobby, and pick-up is at 7:30pm in the PDS lobby.
The elementary Sunday School curriculum is part of a 1st-12th grade curriculum aimed to assist families in the discipleship process by providing outlines of Sunday School lessons as well as age-appropriate discussion questions. The lessons are presented through games, skits, Bible reading and age-appropriate activities.
Second's Shine Ministry strives to effectively communicate the gospel to individuals with physical and intellectual disabilities and to eliminate barriers that prevent their families from living in community with the body of Christ.
