VBS registration opens Sunday April 24th!
FIRSTkids begins on Sunday mornings with Sunday school when we have options for kids from birth through sixth grade from trained and background-checked volunteers.
There is a Sunday School for infants (beginning at 8 weeks old), walkers, and 2-year-olds at both 9:30 (so you can attend Sunday School) and 10:45 (during worship.) Our teachers will love and pray for your precious little ones. They will have an age-appropriate Bible study including great activities using The Gospel Project.
Preschoolers are checked-in at each classroom upon arrival. Parents fill out a two-part security tag. Child’s Security Number is given to the parent while the matching number containing Child’s Name, Parent’s Name, allergies, etc are kept with the child. We ask that you please label your child’s diaper bag, bottle/cup, etc.
When in our worship center, the number on your child’s security tag also acts as a paging number. At the back exits, there are black boxes near the ceiling that will display your child’s number if you are needed. We will also text you on the provided number given on their security tag.
There’s plenty for your 3-to-5-year-old children to look forward to in our pre-school Sunday School at 9:30 or 10:45. They’ll have an age-appropriate Bible study using The Gospel Project, snacks and a variety of fun activities. There’s also an age-focused large group time in their classroomat our 10:45 hour each week where preschoolers watch a video Bible story and unpack the story in creative ways.

K-5th-grade students have an energetic and engaging group teaching time at 9:30, and then break into age-specific groups to help them learn from the Bible and apply what they learned. They’ll have an age-appropriate Bible study using The Gospel Project, with a variety of fun activities. At 10:45 they are invited to worship with their families. We have bags filled with activities for them at the entrance to the sanctuary.
6th graders meet for Sunday School also at 9:30 and have their own environment outside our youth area. This is the year they begin the transition from Children’s Ministry to Youth Ministry. The 6th graders are included in Middle-School only activities throughout the Sunday School year so they will be ready for Youth VBS and Youth camp the summer following their 6th grade year!

Parents, you are the spiritual leaders for your kids, so we want to put into your hands materials that will help JumpStart your child into discipleship. Disciples are followers of Jesus. Once your kids make a true profession of faith, it’s time to begin discipling them. This is an exciting time as your child will have lots of questions for you! We want to help equip you for this journey of discipleship.
If you believe your child is ready, contact our FIRSTkids office so we can give you all the supplies you will need to complete a study about becoming a Christian. Following the completion of the book, the FIRSTkids Director is notified and a baptism date is set.
Throughout the week we continue with groups for all kids. On Wednesday nights we have groups for the whole family, plus special camps here and away during the summer, all in support of you as you disciple your children.
Together we teach your kids how:
F = to follow Jesus
I = to be imitators of Jesus
R = to be ready to share their faith
S = to realize they are sinners saved by grace!
T = to spend time Loving God, Loving Others, and Serving both!
