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. 

Catechism

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!

CHILDREN'S CHOIRS 

Another way we teach our preschool children about the love of Jesus is by singing his praises! See below for choir age groups and times. Email Christy Young with questions.

PreK–1st Grade Choirs

Wednesdays, 6:15-7:30pm
On Wednesday nights, children will broaden their knowledge of Christ's love for them through music by learning great hymns of the faith, memorizing scripture, recognizing music symbols and notes, and playing musical instruments.

Shine

All children are a gift from the Lord, “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:14). Our SHINE special needs ministry is designed to share the good news of Christ’s love with those who may have unique learning or physical challenges.

Our Shine Sunday School class meets in N101 during the 9:45am Sunday School hour and 11:00am church hour. All ages and disabilities are welcome!

Also, we offer a Shine Shadow program, which provides the opportunity for students with special needs to remain with their peers in appropriate grade level while supporting Biblical differentiated learning.

For more information about our Shine ministry or to volunteer, contact Julia Santos at or 901-282-2043.
