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.
Sunday School classes meet from 9:45-10:45am in the C Basement. See locations below.
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! Read the preschool catechism questions.
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.
Sunday School classes meet from 9:45-10:45am in the C Basement. See locations below.
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.

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!
We have a wide range of choir offerings for children of all ages to broaden their knowledge of Christ's love for them through music by learning great hymns of the faith, memorizing Scripture, learning to recognize music symbols and notes, and playing musical instruments. Our children's choirs are led by Calvin Ellis. The choirs lead worship in several Sunday services throughout the year and perform a musical in the spring.
