Emmanuel Kids Ministry
We have an amazing nursery run and served by a wonderful staff. All of our kids ministry workers have their background checked and are required to be members in good standing before they are allowed to serve in our children’s ministries. You may check your child in downstairs, right by the nursery, or keep your child with you in the service. Some parents opt to keep their children with them in the service and at times will join a small gathering in the lobby if the children are getting a little rambunctious.
One of the great movements of the heart of Emmanuel is our love for Children. The undeniable fact of the Biblical account of Jesus is that HE loves children. Well, because HE loves children and His Spirit is in His church, we love them too! In addition to having a playground, we are children friendly; during our services it’s not unusual to children approaching our pastor and being invited on the platform to pray with him to open the message. You may also see them collecting a special offering, or helping to lead a new worship song. We also know that children need to be discipled to Jesus in a meaningful way. For that reason we have these awesome ministries just for them.
Sunday mornings at 9:30
Every Sunday morning there are classes for kids from preschool through high school. We have adopted an incredible curriculum called Bible Studies for Life which is designed to help us apply Biblical truths to our everyday lives and the lives of our children.
Sunday morning at 10:30
Tne expression Kids Worship Too is used because we want the kids of our church and the adults as well to know that children are valued by God and that they worship TOO. Every Sunday morning our amazing volunteer staff leads children from 1st -5th grades in their very own time of worship and teaching at their level of understanding. It’s a high energy time that allows a kid to be a kid and still worship Jesus and learn of him.
Sunday evenings from 6:00-7:15pm.
AWANA is a dynamic kid’s club for Kindergarten through the sixth grade. This would include the Cubbies club for 4-5 year olds, the SPARKS club for 1-2 grades and the TNT club for 3-6 grades.
Our club runs September through the end of May. You may enroll your children at any time by just coming to club on club night.
This ministry is so comprehensive that to attempt to define and explain it here would nearly impossible. In a nutshell there will be games, uniforms, awards, handbooks and teaching the practical things of the Bible at a kids level.
