WE LOVE KIDS!
Our main priority in our preschool department is to give kids Jesus. We believe that children are never too young to learn about our Great God, how much He loves us, what His Word says, and what He has done for us through Jesus. Our preschool welcomes kiddos from ages 3 through kindergarten with a wide range of activities including listening to Bible stories, singing, hands-on learning activities, and crafts. We offer snacks and water during our Sunday Extended Session (Worship Hour) and Wednesday nights.
PRE-REGISTER YOUR KIDS
We're raising up the next generation of world changers to love God and His house!
PreK 3 & 4 year olds: With plenty of repetition for the Pre-K age, our kids stay connected and engaged during their Sunday morning Bible lessons, and therefore, remember their “message” for months and years to come. Kids have so much fun learning and actively participating that they keep coming back for more! Our Sunday school teachers for 3s-4s have been teaching for well over 50 years; they are wonderful with the little ones and teach them both Old and New Testament stories.
Kindergarten: Kindergarten is a year for very big changes in a child’s life, so in order to give these “big kids” time to grow and mature, we give them a class to call all their own before mixing them with older students. Our Kindergarten Sunday School takes kids deeper into the Bible without losing the hands-on fun of preschool. Our kindergarten Sunday school teachers are committed to loving on our kids while also teaching them the Gospel; they have been teaching Sunday school for 35 years and are passionate about their kiddos. Kids leave kindergarten Sunday school knowing the ABCs of salvation and knowing so many of the key stories from God’s Word.
WEDNESDAY NIGHTS: From 6:30-7:45 on Wednesday nights, our Wee Friends focus on the same Bible story for an entire month; each week we have different activities and games to reinforce the key themes and lessons from the story. We also spend 20 minutes each Wednesday night worshiping God through song. Kids have the opportunity to play with one another while also learning more about God and Jesus.
A NURSERY is provided in our preschool building for babies – 2-year-olds during Bible study and worship times. In the Central nursery, you will find a safe and warm environment for your child to learn about God and His love. We have small groups for babies – 2-year-olds, staffed by a caring nursery staff as well as volunteers.

Visiting us for the first time? No fear! Our friendly VIP host will show you where our Preschool Kids Check-In is when you arrive. We will meet your family, check your child in, and answer any questions you may have. We can't wait to meet you!
SAFETY
Nursery and Preschool volunteers are trained to create an atmosphere where families can confidently leave their children while they are in service. Every volunteer is screened with a background check and the preschool hallway is monitored by security personnel, as well as security cameras. Don't worry parents - we've got this!
