Preschool

The goal for the Preschool Ministry is to lay the foundation for preschoolers to know Christ as Lord and Savior by showing them the love of God and by teaching them the Bible.

Our leaders use various methods in teaching our preschoolers the Bible, about Jesus and how to worship Him. At times, activities and learning games are used to teach our children. The preschoolers learn to play together and share with one another.

We feel it is important for all parents to know that their children are safe and secure in our care. We have trained, competent and capable caregivers to care for our preschoolers. We also use a "security system" in which one half of a numbered tag is attached to the child, while the parent of the child takes the other half with them. Parents must present the matching half of the tag at the end of the preschool activity in order to pick up their children.

Bible Study is the primary learning time for our preschoolers. It meets on Sunday mornings at both the 9:00 am and 10:30 am hours. During the preschool Bible Study time, our preschoolers learn about such things as: Jesus' birth, parables from the gospels, the reasons behind the miracles and how to show love and compassion to others.

On Sunday evening, preschoolers ages 4 & 5 meet from 6:00pm to 7:30pm for preschool Music Ministry in Building B for Kidz Praize.

On Wednesday evenings, two year olds can participate in Puggles which is a club designed for this age as part of the AWANA Program, which meets from 6:15 until 7:40 PM in Building B. Three and four year-old children participate in the Cubbies Club of AWANA.

Special events are conducted throughout the year for our preschoolers. These events include things such as: Vacation Bible School, Fall Festival, Christmas and Easter. Throughout the summer there are special activities provided for our older preschoolers such as Day Camps, and water days.
