Elementary (1st - 4th Grade)

Kids of this age are explorers with many questions who also want to be known. Consequently, we try to write a weekend experience which has a small group time with consistent leaders and a large group that is EPIC. EPIC stands for Experiential, Participatory, Image-rich, and Connected. When appropriate, we will teach the same topics as adult worship to facilitate spiritual conversations at home. We have an incentive Bible Bucks program as well. Kids earn Bible Bucks for bringing their Bible, bringing a friend, memorizing our series verse and for other positive engagement. The last weekend of the month, kids can spend their Bible Bucks on items for themselves or for the outreach of the month. We value fun, relationships and sharing the Bible in kid language so they can grow to be outward-focused followers of Jesus.

New Believer Class

When your kid makes a decision to follow Jesus, we want to help them take their next steps as a believer. Our New Believer Class is designed to be a fun way for kids to learn how to read and study the Bible, how to pray, explain what worship really means, and answer their hard questions. This class is a 5 week short term study just for kids. This class is designed for grades 3-5.

Why Baptism Class

Once a kid has made the decision to follow Jesus we encourage them to attend our “Why Baptism? Class” with their parents. This class is a class designed to walk kids and parents through what it means to be baptized. Is your kid ready to be baptized? We’ll help you ask the right questions so you can make an informed decision. Baptism is so much more than getting wet. At the end of the class you and your kid will have a chance to decide if your kid is ready to be baptized at the next Raised to Life Service.

Bible Bucks

The Bible Store is a fun way to teach kids about giving and being outward-focused. Bible Bucks can be earned each week by bringing a Bible to church, participating in discussion, memorizing the Bible verse, etc. One the last full weekend of the month kids can spend their Bible Bucks in the Bible Bucks Store. They can choose to buy snacks and toys for themselves and/or buy needed items for our church outreach partners. We’ll focus on a different outreach partner each month. All Bible Bucks given to an outreach partner will be matched dollar for dollar as real money that really goes to those partners. We encourage kids to start giving a percentage of their Bible Bucks “earnings” toward outreach as a way they can be outward-focused. When they give and how much they give is up to them.
