Kids Church Curriculum
What are my kids learning?
We are currently learning about the FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT. When we become part of God’s forever family, God helps grow these fruits, these character traits in us through His Spirit. God trains us to love others, be joyful always, become peacemakers and many more.
For each fruit of the Spirit, we highlight a character in the Bible who shows them living out their faith in God. For each lesson, we use play dough to create and mold different parts of the story. We like the play dough are being molded by God’s Spirit to be models of faith everyday and everywhere.
Our verse this unit is from Galatians 5:22. The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
What will my kids be learning?
Starting July 2021, we will be introducing new curriculum for our Tidepool Class (Early Childhood Toddler to Preschool). We will be using the Puggles curriculum. Puggles introduces biblical concepts at church and equips families to teach them at home. This year-long preschool ministry curriculum features playful activities, engaging songs and simple crafts as well as take-home resources.
We will also be introducing a new curriculum for our BoardWalk Classes (Younger & Older Elementary). We are excited to use Brite for our weekend Kids Church. We are passionate about child discipleship and want to provide a space for resilient disciples who Believe, Belong, and Become and who lead and love like Jesus.

Sunday update:
Thank you for your kind consideration through every transition.
Are there new updates? It's June 2021!
Absolutely! We have since opened a Nursery/Toddler/Walker classroom. We are so excited to welcome our littlest friends.
Starting June 6, outdoor Kids Church will make masks optional with physical distancing. We are excited to see your smiling faces and show our smiles to our kiddos!

AWANA
AWANA stands for Approved Workers Are Not Ashamed from 2 Timothy 2:15. It is our child discipleship program that is both Highly Scriptural and Highly Relational. At AWANA we help kids hide God’s Word in their hearts and make life-long friends. We want kids to respond to the love of God in Jesus that they respond in worship and give their lives to the Lord and live generous lives now.
We are excited to offer In-Person AWANA this Fall 2021 on Wednesday evenings again. Stay tuned for more information.
