Kiddos Teaching Series
Kiddos FAQ
OK is available for kiddos who range from age 4 – and completely 🙂 potty trained – thru fifth grade.
Where does OK take place?
Most of our Sunday morning activities take place next door to the sanctuary in our Ed Building. When they are dismissed from the sanctuary, we escort the kiddos across the walk to their class. Parents are always welcome to walk along to see the classroom and to meet the teachers. Pickup will always take place next door as well.
At times, we keep the kiddos in the sanctuary to hear the Word, but next door we engage in age-specific learning. For the first segment, the kiddos are all together in one place, where they receive the core lesson. The lessons do not parallel or follow our Sunday sermon, but rather work systematically through the whole Bible from Genesis to Revelation. Between segments, we gather the kiddos for one BIG game. The game provides a time of transition for the teachers, as well as a chance for the kiddos to stretch their legs, shout, and have some fun! For our second segment, during the Sunday School hour, we separate the kiddos into two age groups to look at the core lesson from a different angle with new activities, ideas, and fun! When this second segment is over, our kiddos remain in the Ed building until a parent or guardian arrives.
Why is it called OK?
In a world where everything (whether deserving or not) is presented as epic, awesome, synergistically architected, amazing, dynamic, and exclamation-pointy, we are content (though never complacent) to be an ordinary bunch of people in the hands of an extraordinary God. It’s OK to be OK.
How can you get involved?
The quality of our kiddos’ ministry will be directly proportional to the number of loving & caring volunteers who get involved. All of our workers MUST obtain the proper clearances in order to serve. We will provide training at times to build up our volunteers in the Lord. Our needs include teachers who lead the segments, helpers who provide assistance and presence, a transition team to facilitate the BIG game, and most of all prayer warriors to plead before God for the spiritual life of our young ones.
