CHILDREN’S MINISTRY
Preschool / Elementary / Tweens
God’s Greenhouse Preschool Ministry
(Birth–4/5 years)
The purpose of God’s Greenhouse Preschool ministry is to provide a safe, loving, fun, and comfortable environment for both you and your children. To accomplish this mission, our nursery and preschool workers give attention to each child as they care for their needs and as they teach. In additon to nursery and Sunday School, preschoolers may attend Seeds of Faith Worship during the 11:00 Sunday worship services. The Preschool Ministry also meets on Wednesday evenings during Midweek Oasis.
Is there a check-in system?
Yes, our Children’s Ministry has an ID badge system to help ensure that the individual who brings a child to his/her classroom is the same person with whom the child leaves during pick up time. As you sign-in your child, you will receive two small pieces of paper — one to be placed on a clipboard in your child’s room and one to take with you. Please bring this portion back for the sign-out process. You’ll also sign-in your child at the classroom entrance. This will give you a chance to discuss any special instructions with the nursery or classroom workers.

God’s Garden Elementary Ministry
(K–3rd grade)
G od’s Garden Elementary Ministry exists to provide a warm, loving environment where you and your child can have fun and learn about God. We partner with parents to offer spiritual nurturing, to build relationships, and to teach Scripture effectively in the hope that children will understand and apply spiritual truths to their lives. We ask that all parents fill out a Registration form the first Sunday the child is in a class. In addition to their Sunday School, children in Kindergarten—Third Grade may also attend Growing in Faith Worship during the later half of the 11:00 Sunday worship services. God’s Garden also meets on Wednesday evenings during Midweek Oasis.
Tween Ministry
(4th–5th grade)
What is a Tween? A Tween is someone who is not a child, but not yet a youth, and who needs a special place of their own. To meet the unique needs of our Tweens, we have a special Sunday Sunday School class and offer retreats and special events throught the year. This age group also meets on Wednesday evenings during Midweek Oasis.
