INFANTS
We understand that it can be difficult to leave your baby with someone else for the first time! We hope any concerns will melt away when you see our loving volunteers anticipating holding and rocking your baby! Our desire is to show your baby the love of Christ through caring for them and allowing you to engage in worship hands free
ONES
As your child transitions to the one year old room they will experience opportunities for group playtime as they become more independent. They will experience a fun toddler environment with loving volunteers that will reinforce God’s love through play and interaction.
TWOS
In our two year old room, your child will experience all things toddler. Our curriculum starts at this age and is centered on these three basic truths: God loves you, God made you, and Jesus wants to be your forever friend. Every week your children will worship, learn a Bible story, and make a simple craft that will help them understand the key truth for the day.
PRESCHOOL AGE: THREES & FOURS
Your preschooler will be welcomed by enthusiastic volunteers. We continue to teach them our three basic truths: God loves you, God made you, and Jesus wants to be your forever friend. This environment will follow a preschool structure, including worship time, a video bible story, craft, and game that support the key truth for the day, and snack. Kids will work to learn a monthly memory verse.
KINDERGARTEN-3RD GRADE
Kids are challenged every weekend in Chapel Kids to trust God, make wise choices, and build everlasting friendships. Here’s what a typical morning looks like:
WELCOME
Each child is greeted by a Room Leader and their Small Group Leader. Kids have time to build community through hang out time. Each group is divided by grade. Starting in 3rd grade they may also be separated by gender.
WORSHIP
Shortly after arriving, kids join together for worship, Chapel Kids style. We have a fun and active worship time where kids engage through music and movement.
LARGE GROUP TEACHING
Kids transition to our large group time where they will engage in worship, hear a bible story through video and discuss how to apply it, play a game, and have a time to work on learning the monthly memory verse.
SMALL GROUP TIME
Kids will then join their small group area where their leaders help them understand how the day’s bottom line can fit into their everyday life. Small group leaders in Chapel Kids are serious about having fun with kids and passionate about teaching the truth of God’s word. We want kids to see how God fits into their lives, to learn how to talk to Him, and to build friendships that will last. Every weekend they connect to the same small group of kids and the same small group leaders. That way they get connected and we have the best chance to establish a relationship that’s going to matter when they need it most.
4TH-5TH GRADE
We understand that preteens, more than ever, are caught in between adolescence and childhood. Between expectations and reality and between information and understanding. Our primary goal is to make Chapel Preteen a place where we can catch them. Where we can give them a safe place to land in a world where they aren't elementary kids anymore, but they aren't quite middle schoolers.
HANGOUT TIME
This is simply free time where small group leaders connect relationally with kids through playing basketball, four square, painting nails or making bracelets. This time is created to let kids find a place where they connect.
WORSHIP
In Chapel Preteen, we engage in a time of worship. Our goal is to teach the kids what worship is and why it is important in their lives.
LARGE GROUP TEACHING
Our Large Group environment is modeled after a living room setting. The teacher leads them through a bible lesson, a fun activity, and helps to explore the Key Question of the day.
SMALL GROUP TIME
The leaders spend this time helping the kids to apply how the bible story and lesson applies to their everyday lives. They have candid conversations about real struggles and questions that they may be having and help to show them how the Bible is the place to go for their answers. The kids are split up by grade and gender with the same gender leader.
