2 LIFE STAGE GROUPS Children Our Family Ministries strive to provide an atmosphere for your child to grow and develop into a lifestyle of Kingdom living. Our Sunday morning & Wednesday evening programs work together to teach children the value of prayer, sharing the gospel and spirit-led living. On Wednesday evenings we offer: Infant Nursery (0-2 years old) - Our babies are cared for in a nurturing environment where we speak life-giving words over each child. There are times for play, praise & worship, and age appropriate Bible stories each week. Rainbows (3-5 year olds) - Our preschool age kids learn about the Bible through interactive toys, praise & worship, memory verses and a time to respond to the Holy Spirit. Royal Rangers (Boys) & M-Pact Clubs (Girls) (K-5th grade) These groups teach Bible stories, scripture memorization, practical lessons, and applications for Christian living. Each child will learn about their identity in Christ, their importance in the Kingdom, and Godly character development in a fun and highlyrelational environment.
