Children’s ministries develops the faith of children from birth through age 14, leading them into union with God. It seeks to provide multiple ministries that will lead children to Jesus and disciple them in their daily walk with Him. It cooperates with the Sabbath School and other departments to provide religious education to children and fulfills its mission by developing a variety of grace-oriented ministries for children that are inclusive, service-oriented, leadership-building, safe, and evangelistic. Our offers weekly children programming during regular church services as well as annual programs such as: He is Risen Party, Vacation Bible School, and Fall Festival.
ANYBODY (over the age of 18) wanting to volunteer/work with children MUST complete a background check.

Beginner children and parents will find beautiful, full-color picture Bible stories, written in a way that is simple and memorable for little children who are hearing these stories for the first time. Each week a new story is shared, to be read every day. Parents will find Play Throughout the Day activities that can be done in everyday moments to reinforce the Bible story and messages. And in a quiet moment, parents can read The Heart of the Matter, a spiritual message just for you, parents.

We believe that kindergarten children are able to understand God’s messages in Scripture, so we urge you to sit with your child each day to share the lesson. As part of your family worship, pray for understanding from the Holy Spirit; sing a happy song; read with enthusiasm; and have fun with the Do and Say activities. Use the motions to review the memory verse. This will help your child remember it. Let your child tell you the story from the pictures or help to read the lesson if he or she is able. Read the story from the Bible at some time during the week. A number of simplified children’s versions are available today. Teach by example and word that the Bible is precious and holy. Involve your young child in worship now, and you will foster a love for Jesus and His Word that will last. Take the time—make the time—to worship with your child every day. Years from now you’ll be glad you did. Our prayer is that these lessons will bring joy and peace to you and your child. Let us pray for one another as we work together to lead little ones to Jesus.

All Primary Bible Study Guides present opportunities to help your child learn from the Bible and to know that what is studied comes from God’s word. These Bible lessons link God’s amazing grace to your child’s everyday life. However, they need you to make them come to life in your home, reinforcing the lesson already presented in Sabbath School. Plan now to make time for daily study with your child. During your family worship time, read the lessons together and share the fun of doing the Bible-based activities.
