Children’s Ministry

Powerhouse Kids’ Ministry

Programming intentionally geared for the ages of children from birth through 4th grade is available during all three services - 8:00AM, 9:30AM and 11:00AM.

The children’s ministry is designed to bring glory to God by making disciples of Jesus Christ through gospel-centered teaching, gospel-centered worship, gospel-centered community and gospel-centered mission.

Because we believe that scripture is clear that parents are the primary disciple-makers in the lives of their children, our hope is to partner with parents in their pursuit of this mission and come alongside them in the discipleship process. We do this in many ways, but especially through the various resources that we create. These resources help build a strong, gospel-centered foundation for their children.

“Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it” (Proverbs 22:6).

NURSERY (BIRTH UP TO 24 MONTHS)

The nursery staff gives our littlest ones the utmost love and care in a safe and nurturing environment. Parents can enjoy uninterrupted worship with confidence while knowing that their children are happy and content. We believe that even a young toddler can learn the basics of the gospel in these biblical truths:

1) God loves me in Christ.
2) The Bible is God’s Word.
3) I can sing and pray to God because of what Christ has accomplished.

We maintain a high adult to child ratio so that children can have as much attention and interaction as possible.

PRESCHOOL (2-5 YEARS OLD)

Our preschool staff create the early building blocks for a strong, gospel-centered foundation for our children. Your preschooler will enjoy a fun-filled time of high energy songs and motions and learn God’s Word through creative storytellers and media. To prepare preschoolers for elementary, we focus on three foundational truths:

1) God loves me in Christ, and I can pray to Him.
2) Jesus is God’s Son and died for me.
3) The Bible is God’s Word.

ELEMENTARY (KINDERGARTEN – 4th GRADE)

Elementary continues to build a strong, gospel-centered foundation for children. We teach the nature and character of God and how children can know Jesus as their Savior and have a personal relationship with Him. Before heading to middle school, we want children to know these truths:

1. We are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, according to scripture alone, for God’s glory alone.
2. Jesus died on the cross in our place to pay for our sins, rose from the dead, and offers eternal life for all who truly believe and trust in Him.
3. Reading God’s word regularly is essential in knowing who God is and how He wants us to live for His glory.

We partner with parents in the discipleship of their children by creating exciting environments and resources that center on the gospel of Jesus Christ. Children worship God through a high-energy, student-led worship experience and interactive, creative and child-relevant Bible teaching. Children also make relational connections in small groups by grade and gender. A caring leader facilitates to reinforce the day’s lesson and prays with the children.
