Children's ministry

We love to partner with parents as they disciple their children! We are a relational church and this focus on relationships is reflected in Growing Hope's welcoming and engaging classes. We emphasize the never-changing, always good and faithful character of God and His unending, abundant love for us all.

GROWING HOPE KIDS: (PARENTS OF CHILDREN 5TH GRADE AND YOUNGER)

On Sunday mornings, we have a nursery for children two and under** *and classes for children who are three years old (fully potty trained) through 5th grade. More information.*

Classrooms are organized around the age-appropriate Christ-Centered curriculum (The Gospel Project) that walks kids through the entire bible in chronological order. We believe that the entire Bible is God’s Word, so it is important that children are familiar with all of the stories of the Bible and how they point to Jesus. Every Sunday, children will be taught the Bible and participate in activities designed to help them remember and apply the truth of Scripture.

There are a few things you can do to help your child get the most out of our Sundays in their Growing Hope class!

• Remind them to bring their BIBLES and ask them where their story and monthly verse are found!

• Scan the QR code on the new curriculum take-home sheets and experience the story/video/songs of the week with your child at home! We strongly encourage the church-home connection and the Gospel Project really helps!

• Help your child learn the verse of the month/point of the week, which will ultimately help them get to KNOW GOD BETTER!

 ALL AGES WILL BE WORSHIPPING WITH THEIR FAMILIES AND THEN BE EXCUSED FOR CLASS!

Happy Fall to our Growing Hope Families! This includes all families with babies through the 5th grade.

New classroom assignments-

4-yr-old through Kindergarten will meet in room 200 (adjacent to the Worship Center)

1st and 2nd graders will meet in room 301 (on the right at the end of the hallway)

3rd through 5th grade will be in room 304 (at the end of hallway)

We will be continuing with our Gospel Project Curriculum as we head into year two of our three year journey through the Bible. Thank you for your help in reminding your children to bring their Bibles on Sunday mornings. If they need a Bible, we would love to give them one, so please be sure to let their teacher know.

NOTE: All children will start in worship with their parents and be excused before the congregational prayer time.

It is our desire to help parents raise a new generation of Jesus followers!

Look for our check-in station as you walk in the church front doors and proceed down the hallway. Greeters will be there to help you get started. We will meet your family, check your children into our secure system

and answer any questions. Email Kim Stevens with questions.

Vacation Bible School (VBS) is an important part of Growing Hope! This week of Truth-packed fun is a connecting experience for our kids, our delightful volunteers, and the many friends that join us from outside Living Hope. Email Nancy MacGowan with questions.
