Family Life Ministry:Family Life ministry is gaining momentum as we seek to connect with infants, children, teens, and their families. Nursery:Ages birth - 2 yrsCaring leaders help make our nursery a warm, welcoming, and safe place to be each service. We believe that even our youngest children can experience God's love. We strive to welcome each child, pray over them, sing with them, play with them, and pour lots of God's love into them. Leaders are helping to build this ministry each weekend. We are adding stories, music, and structure to the Two Year Old Room to help children learn that God's word is real! It's exciting to be a part of imparting God's love into the littlest of His Kingdom. Pre-K and Kindergarten:Ages 3 yrs - KindergartenChildren are invited each weekend to start their journey with Christ. Here your child will build positive relationships with caring leaders and discover that "The Bible is true!" Each hour consists of worship, an interactive Bible lesson, and creative activities/games designed to bring home God's Word. Check out our curriculum, Elevate Jr., at www.elevatekids.com. Better yet, join us one week! Parents are always welcome and encouraged to serve and learn about Jesus with their child! Elementary:Grades 1st - 5thKids come for the fun! Inflatables! Music! Crafts! Games! And that's only the beginning! Your child will stay because they know that not only is this a great place to be but they are loved and cared for. Each weekend caring leaders will build positive relationships with your child. They will teach them through worship and interactive Bible teaching that God cares for them, His Word is true, and they have been made for a purpose. AWANA:For kids age 3 as of the start of the school year to 5th gradeEvery Tuesday night join us for AWANA Club. Check out the AWANA Game Circle; there's nothing quite like it. Your child will memorize Scripture that they will carry with them for life. AWANA meets from 6:15-8:00 pm. Children three-years-old through 5th grade are invited to join us at the Rock Island Campus for a night of fun and learning. Check out what AWANA is all about at www.awana.com. Middle School:Grades 6th - 8thJV Statik happens every week at our Rock Island and Bettendorf campuses. Students will find a place where they are accepted for who they are and always loved by God. Each night includes a hang out time with friends and leaders, worship with a live band led by students, speaking on Bible truths that relate to real life, and crazy (and sometimes odd), but fun competitions. Students are matched with a small group to challenge them to grow spiritually and live their faith outside the church. Events are also planned throughout the year. It's a night you don't want to miss. High School:Grades 9th - 12thStatik meets every week at our Rock Island and Bettendorf campuses. A student band leads worship and all are challenged with God's Word. There's time to just hang out with other students and have a good time. It's a great place to invite friends, worship, and learn how to make a difference in the world. And with our crazy youth pastors, there are always fun competitions and great events. Family Events:Children are not stand-alone entities. They bring moms and dads, brothers and sisters, grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles. Each of these individuals is key to the spiritual development of a child. We strive throughout the year to provide opportunities for families to grow together and enjoy one another as well as reach out to other families. Events have included Fall Squall, Princess Tea, Baby Brunch, and Cinema Day. Check out the church calendar for future events. Child Security and Safety:It is our priority to ensure your child is cared for in a loving and secure environment. All Children's Ministry volunteers go through a rigorous screening process that involves reference and background checks. In addition, our Hub provides secure child identification and security cameras in our rooms. |
