The King's Kids

Proctor Road Campus 
10:30 am in Room C110

Our team uses the Special Buddies curriculum from Lifeway.  It can be taught visually or auditorally. Children are taught one-on-one so the teacher is able to tailor the lesson to their individual needs. The King's Kids join with the other children's classes for big group worship time.


Director: Sandy Scranton

We offer Community Groups for children during our Sunday Morning Services. We use 252Basics, a strategy designed on three basic Truths modeled by Jesus in Luke 2:52
 
                                             I need to make the wise choice
                                             I can trust God no matter what
                            I should treat others the way I want to be treated

We also focus on a core virtue each month. The virtue is supported by the weekly bottom line – the learning aim for the day. Learn more at www.252basics.org

In Children’s Ministry we want to partner with you to help your child discover and embrace a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. We update parents weekly with a fridge door card that gives you the virtue, Bible story, memory verse, the key concept for the week along with a question for them to discuss with you at home. Like Preschool, Children’s  THINKS ORANGE!

We offer Community Groups  for Preschool Children during our Sunday Morning Services. We use My First Look, a curriculum designed on three basic strategies: God made me, God loves me, and Jesus wants to be my friend forever. You will see these three concepts through the entire curriculum. You may learn more at  www.myfirstlook.org

In preschool we…Think Orange!  When the light of the church (yellow) and the love of the family (red) combine (orange), they make a greater impact.  Your child will bring home a memory verse every month, as well as monthly Small Talk pages, which have an activity for you to do with your child. These reinforce what we are learning at church and help you at home.
