Our youngest children experience God's precious love for them through the nurturing care they receive from our trained volunteers. Children participate in First Look curriculum, which is designed to give them a first impression of their loving, heavenly Father. It is designed to be simple and fun, repeating one basic truth about God all month. Fun activities, crafts, Bible stories. Bible memorization and worship time are part of the plan to help a child believe three key truths: God made me, God loves me, Jesus wants to be my friend forever.
Take-home resources are provided as tools to reinforce Biblical truths and equip parents as the primary spiritual developers of their children’s faith.
WHAT SHOULD PARENTS BRING?
Disposable diapers and wipes
Pacifier or other comfort item
Bottle with mixing/heating instructions
Please make sure all items are clearly labeled with the child's name

At this age kids start to learn what it means to love God and one another, and they should have lots of fun in the process!
Our volunteer team teaches the children about the basics of their faith in Jesus Christ using First Look curriculum, which is designed to give children a first impression of their loving, heavenly Father. They sing great worship songs with lots of movement, play games and work on craft projects that encourage creativity and help reinforce three key truths: God made me, God loves me, and Jesus wants to be my friend forever.
Take-home resources are provided as tools to reinforce Bible truths and equip parents as the primary spiritual developers of their children’s faith.

Dinner is on us! Come for our Wednesday night meals from 5-5:45pm, then everyone in the family can go to their own groups to connect and grow spiritually. Our goal in
Children’s is to grant space for kids through 5th grade to wind up, wind down, process what they hear from the world and the Word of God, and unwind before transitioning home.
We will have fun together, hear from God’s Word - the Bible, connect with others our own age and build relationships with our leaders. Our hope is your child would feel welcomed and better equipped to go back into daily rhythms knowing what faith in God means and how it applies to daily life.
Wednesday Nights at Community is an experience for anyone and everyone! We hope you join us this fall. Our next semester begins on September 10, 2025. All groups will run from 6:00pm to 7:30 pm -
