MAKING DISCIPLES OF JESUS CHRIST
Children’s Ministry
Learning and Living the Gospel Together in Every Relationship
Our Mission
Children’s Ministries exist to fulfill our church mission by helping families to learn and live the Gospel. We seek to create a fun, safe, and loving environment where children are equipped to become life-long disciples of Jesus Christ. We have a variety of ministries designed to teach our children to love the Lord and apply the truth of God’s Word to their lives.
Sermon Notes for Kids
Special Family Worship Service
9/28 @ 6:40pm
We’re doing a family worship service during the first half hour of this week’s scheduled Wednesday Night Ministries (9/28). This event is being offered for all classes, from our toddler students all the way through our adult studies. The following children’s classes that will be involved with this event include:
Skippers
Scooters
Voyagers
Treeclimbers
Stockade
Pathfinders
Trailblazers
Upon your arrival to church please report to your usual classes. All children must still be checked in and brought to their assigned classrooms. At 6:40 PM the class leaders will guide their classes to the worship center where we will remain together for a time of corporate family worship led by Pastor John LoRusso. By 7:00 PM we will be dismissed back to our classes and resume our weekly studies.
If you arrive after 6:40 PM there will be attendants available to escort you or your child to the assigned pew. Attendants will be available near the Children’s Check-In counter.
Sunday Mornings
BLAST OFF (Pre-K/K)
Room 102
During Blast Off, our preschoolers and kindergartners begin to experience more structure in their class time. We use Lifeway‘s Bible Studies for Life curriculum, which is built on the Levels of Biblical Learning. The 10 levels are: God, Jesus, Holy Spirit, Bible, Salvation, Creation, Church, People, Family, Community & World. Curriculum is tailored to teach each level with age-appropriate lessons and activities. For more information about Blast Off, please contact Sarah Klase at sarahklase@cedarcrest.church.
SKYROCKET (1st-5th grade)
Activity Center
In Skyrocket, we also use Lifeway‘s Bible Studies for Life curriculum, which is built on the Levels of Biblical Learning. The 10 levels are: God, Jesus, Holy Spirit, Bible, Salvation, Creation, Church, People, Family, Community & World. Curriculum is tailored to teach each level with age-appropriate lessons and activities. Our goal in Skyrocket is to prepare our kids for a seamless transition into the worship service when they graduate (or whenever they feel ready!).
