Children's Ministry



Our Children’s Ministry is designed to help kids think about scripture and learn how to apply it to their lives.
Our teaching is strongly Biblical and presented in fun and upbeat ways. Parents, you are the most important
influence on your children.  Together we are a team helping train your child in the way he or she should go.
We need and value your involvement. It is my privilege to teach, laugh, learn and pray with your children. 
I also consider it an honor to get to know you, discuss concerns, share joys and pray for your burdens.

    Together for HIS Kids,
    Pastor Randy


Childcare For The Youngest:

Nursery Care  (Infants – Two Yr Olds)  Sunday and Wednesday
A loving and safe environment is provided for our youngest church attendees during all Sunday activities
and Wednesday evening activities.  Parents are asked to sign in when leaving their child and sign out
when picking them up.

Preschool Church  (Three Yr Olds – Kindergarten)  Sunday and Wednesday
During all Sunday activities and Wednesday evening activities, a learning environment is offered through
age-appropriate Bible stories, games and crafts--all encompassing the early stages of preschool social skills.
Parents are asked to sign in when leaving their child and sign out when picking them up.


Classes For Your Children To Be Involved In:

Kids’ Church  (First – Sixth Graders)  Sunday Mornings – 10am
In this interactive environment, kids are challenged by Pastor Randy to apply God’s Word to their own life
through Bible stories, puppets, object lessons and video clips.  Kids begin church with the adults and are
dismissed at a specific time to go to Kids’ Church.

Elementary, Dear Watson  (First – Sixth Graders)  Sunday Mornings – 9am
This group is designed for those kids who want to attend a small class before morning worship.

Sunday School (First – Sixth Graders)  Sunday Evenings – 6pm
Children meet in grade-specific groups with caring and godly leaders.  They gain additional knowledge of
God’s Word and learn how to apply it to their own daily situations.  In addition to study time, this setting
allows your child to build significant friendships with children their own age.

Power Place  (First – Sixth Graders)  Wednesday Evenings – 7pm
This midweek opportunity combines large group Bible study with small group discussions and mixes in
games for an extra sizzle!


Developing Christ-Like Character Beyond the Clasroom:

Bible Quizzing  (First – Sixth Graders)
Quizzing involves an in-depth study of a book of the Bible and takes place during the school year.
The kids study together on Sundays at 10:45 and participate in scheduled local and state competitions.

Good News Club (Kdg –Fifth Graders)  Henderson Elementary School
For one hour (4-5pm) a week anyone who is interested may join this FREE after school club.  Kids
participate in songs, games, Bible stories, memory verses and snacks.

Musicals & Dramas
  (First – Sixth Graders)
These seasonal productions give kids an opportunity to really ham it up through fun, action-oriented
songs and memorable skits.  As the kids learn their parts, they grasp the Biblical foundation of the
production and begin to put it into practice in their own life.

Puppetry  (Fourth – Sixth Graders)
Another creative and active way that kids can have fun while learning.  Puppetry adds a teaching
element of serving others.

Summer Camps  (Third – Sixth Graders)  Pinecrest / Fredericktown, MO
Middler Camp and Preteen Camp, offered every summer for five days, provide intense Bible learning,
worship, team building and a whole lot of Fun!

Talent Festival (Kdg– Sixth Graders) 
We believe God gave everyone a gift and even our youngest should begin developing and exhibiting
their skills.  Usually held in the Spring, this annual festival includes categories such as Art, Cooking,
Bible Memorization, Drama, Vocal and Instrumental.

Tech Crew  (Fifth – Sixth Graders)
Preteens can choose to learn how to operate Sound, Lights & Computer in order to serve during kids’ services.

Trunk or Treat (Preschool– Sixth Graders) 
This event, filled with fun and candy, offers a safe environment for your kids to dress in costume and
gather treats.  We encourage kids to invite their friends.  Usually Trunk or Treat is held the Sunday
evening before Halloween.

Vacation Bible School (Preschool – Sixth Graders)
This exciting week of fun brings the culture and characters from Bible times alive.  The kids experience the
“marketplace” along with interactive story time, crafts, games and snacks.  The preschoolers are separate from
the elementary age kids and have the similar kinds of activities appropriate for their age.  VBS takes place
Monday-Friday in the evenings and is usually held sometime in June!
