Children are very important to us! We want every child to know
that they are loved by God first and foremost and by their church family
too. We strive to provide a solid faith-background to every child that
enters this place through worship. Our Sunday worship includes a
children's time and children's bulletins based on the scriptures for the
morning. We put all our efforts into creating a loving and
safe community for our children.
Every classroom has two adult workers. We have a paging service for
families of infants so that families can feel comfortable leaving their
children in the nursery.
Childcare for
Infants through Pre-K is provided on Sunday mornings and on
Wednesday nights during Adult Bible Study/M&Ms. Our nursery is
staffed by a few reliable and friendly students from Western Carolina
University, with the occasional assistance from other members from the
church body.
The Children's Sunday School
follows an ecumenical lectionary based curriculum called
Seasons of the Spirit. Therefore, what they learn in Sunday school
has a direct correlation with our themes for worship. During this hour
of learning we hope to empower children to be transformed in Christ by
exploring the meaning and mystery of the Bible, celebrate through
worship, engage in ministries of justice, witness and love, and learn to
live in a community of faith, shaped and led by the Holy Spirit.
M&Ms (Missions and Music) Each Wednesday from September through May, at 6:00 pm, we offer
musical opportunities for children K-5 in making a joyful noise for the
Lord by ringing tone chimes and singing. Children also learn about
mission work carried all over the globe by Field Personnel supported by
the Cooperative Baptist
Fellowship. Children are also involved in local mission projects.
Leaders: Paula Fox and Christine Weathers.
