Our Children Grow in Faith
Welcome! Our goal is to help our children grow as followers of Jesus through Biblical knowledge, prayer, and service. We nurture godly behavior in children by creating a safe environment where they can speak the truth in love and listen with appreciation.
Children of all ages are welcome at our 8 am and 10 am Sunday services. At the 10 am service, they will be invited to join our preacher for a special Children's Moment—a conversation or activity centering on the day's Gospel message. The children may then attend Sunday School or rejoin their families for the remainder of the service.
Nursery & Toddlers
Our nursery for infants and toddlers is open from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm. Parents may choose to bring their children either to the nursery or to worship with the congregation in the sanctuary. The nursery stays open through the worship service, coffee hour, and adult forum.
Children 4-6 Years Old
4-6 year-olds are invited to be part of Sunday School each Sunday from 10:00 - 10:30 am in Roetter Hall and are also welcome to attend the 8:00 am or 10:00 am services. We welcome your activity and enthusiasm!
Children 7-11 Years Old
7-11 year-olds are invited to be part of Sunday School each Sunday from 10:00 - 10:30 am in Roetter Hall and are also welcome to attend the 8:00 am or 10:00 am services with your families.
Middle school youth
Middle schoolers are invited to participate in Sunday School from 10:00 - 10:30 am and are encouraged to attend our 8:00 am or 10:00 am services with your families. We also encourage you to get involved with service opportunities, such as our annual Build-a-Miracle project in Tijuana.
High school youth
High School youth are invited to attend our 8:00 am and 10:00 am services with your families and to serve in a variety of ways. We appreciate your talents, passion, care for the world, and committment to following Christ!
Nativity play
As Advent approaches Christmas, youth of all ages practice with teachers to tell the nativity story through narrative, song, and dance. They grow in confidence, teamwork, and appreciation for the gift of Jesus. In a special Christmas Pageant, they share their nativity play with the Good Sam community, enriching us with insight, humor, and God come to earth as an innocent child.
Safety
All teachers and youth volunteers are required to take several Safeguarding God's People classes to be sure that we maintain a safe environment for all at church.
