WE ARE AN “ORANGE” CHURCH

To be “Orange” means we seek to align the church and the home to create community around a timeless message that mobilizes the next generation to love God and serve others.

THIS MONTH IN PRESCHOOL MINISTRY…

Preschool (Birth to 5yrs)

There’s nothing sweeter than knowing that Jesus loves you. It’s the sweetest treat we could ever receive, and it’s for every single one of us! His love brings joy to our hearts, peace to our minds, and reminds us that we are never alone. So all month long, we are telling preschoolers Bible stories that show them how much Jesus loves them.

In Matthew 19:14, Jesus said: “Let the children come to me” (NLT). These words remind us that Jesus wants to be close to every child, no matter who they are or where they live. Our prayer is that every preschooler will know deep in their heart that Jesus loves me.

From welcoming children into His arms, to searching for the lost, to spending time with friends, and forgiving those who have done wrong—Jesus shows us again and again that He loves us. And preschoolers need to know that Jesus loves them right now, just as they are, and that His love will never go away. So, let’s pray for our preschoolers, that they will know Jesus’ love is the sweetest thing in the world and that it will be with them forever. Let’s help them grow up always remembering: Jesus loves me.

THIS MONTH IN KID’S MINISTRY…

Elementary (K-5th)

On the night before he gave up his life, Jesus told his friends, “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” Sounds simple, right? But instead of acknowledging that God is love, culture has decided that love is god. Our world applies “love” to everything from romance to a favorite ice cream flavor to encouraging people to do whatever feels best in the moment. That’s why kids need a radical redefinition of what true love looks like: choosing to treat others the way Jesus treats us. This month, we’ll explore four stories from the life of Jesus, starting with Nicodemus. Kids will discover that God loves not just them, but the entire world—everyone who has ever lived or will live—and that this love led Jesus to take on human form to rescue us. We’ll cover the most important commandment, to love God and love others, and we’ll see how the love of Jesus changed Zacchaeus in a pretty dramatic way. Finally, we’ll look at the time that Jesus healed both the daughter of an important leader and a suffering, outcast woman, as a reminder that we can show love to people in need.

Weekly Activities

Every week, from toddlers to fifth graders, your kids have multiple opportunities to connect with other kids their age and have plenty of opportunities to be introduced to a life-changing relationship with Jesus.

Sunday Mornings (Life Groups)

Each Sunday morning at 9:30am, kids meet in Life Groups based on their current age/grade. These groups have a consistent leader who will lead your child in interactive Bible lessons, activities, and songs.

Sunday Mornings (Kid’s Worship)

Every hand clap, arm lift and dance in celebration of the goodness of God unleashes God’s power to be at work, no matter how old you are! Worship is the pathway to His presence. Each Sunday during our 10:45am worship service, kids, Kinder-5^th grade, will participate in our Children’s Worship service. They will experience a time of worship, Bible lesson, games, fellowship, and lots of fun in language they will understand.

Wednesday Evenings

Each Wednesday night at 6:30pm your kids can join us for a time of Bible study, songs, and fellowship. This Midweek gathering is a great opportunity for kids to recharge from their busy weeks with the hope-filled message of Jesus and good fellowship with their friends.
