ALL ABC KIds Activities Suspended
ABC Kids
Here at ABC we love all of the different stages that children go through. We love the sweet babies, active preschoolers, and fun elementary children. Each stage of development is so unique. That is why we desire to cater to each age group and teach them in a way that best fits their developmental level. Although each stage is different it does not change the fact that each child is in desperate need of a Savior. Here at ABC we desire to teach the Good News of Jesus Christ to all ages. We want each fifth grader to finish children's ministry knowing that they are loved by the God who created all things, that they are wonderfully made by God, and that Jesus Christ died on a cross to save them from their sins, and that He desires an eternal friendship with them.
Our children are taught by and cared for by people that love children and most importantly have a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.
Babies
We love our sweet babies here at ABC. It is our hope that through the love that is shown to them by your family and ABC, that they will grow up knowing these three truths; God loves me, God made me, and Jesus wants to be my friend forever. Here at ABC we believe it is important to provide the best care for our babies. We have three regular baby environments during the week.
Sunday School 9:30
Sunday Worship 10:45
Wednesday Nights 6:00
When you bring your babies in we have a check in desk directly beside their class. There will be someone there to lead you through the process to check your baby into the nursery.
Preschool
Two years through five years is such a wonderful age. This is when children ask many questions and begin to wonder about the world around them. Our goal here at ABC is to help these little ones discover the wonderful word of God. We take a a look at many different stories throughout the Bible. This is their first look at the scripture and we feel it is very important that they learn these three truths through the study of scripture; God made me, God loves me, and Jesus wants to be my friend forever.
"Let the little children come to me and do not hinder the, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 19:14
Environments for our Preschoolers
- Sunday School 9:30
- Sunday Worship 10:45
- Wednesday Nights 6:00
In each of these environments they are hearing the truth spoken to them through crafts, snacks, games, and stories out of God's Word.
Here at ABC we feel it is vital for you as parents to have the resources to take home that will reinforce what your preschoolers are learning at church.That is why we send home Parent Cues every Sunday with your preschoolers. The Parent Cues reinforce what your child learned during the worship service.
Resources
Monthly Parent Cue: This is a great tool to use at home to reinforce the lessons that your preschooler is getting at church.
Monthly Memory Verse: This is the verse that your preschooler is learning this month.
Elementary
We desire to come alongside parents to teach these children the virtues that help to shape their character to be more like Christ. We desire to ignite a passion in the hearts of these children for Jesus Christ. Of course we cannot do this on our own because we have the children for just a small portion of the week. So we desire parents to be the primary source and us, the church, to be a secondary asset to you as the parent. We strongly believe in portraying Deuteronomy 6:6-9 here at church and most importantly in the home.
"And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates." Deuteronomy 6:6-9
In order to help children come into a vibrant relationship with Jesus Christ we focus on one virtue each month. We look at the virtue and learn about stories from the bible that portray that virtue. Each month your children will learn a memory verse that reinforces the virtue of the month, and each week they will learn a bottom line that focuses on a specific portion of the virtue. Jesus portrayed such wonderful character at such a young age. We desire that our children be imitators of Christ.
"And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man." Luke 2:52
We desire to supply you as the parent with resources to use at home to reinforce what is being taught at church. It is such a joy to hear and discuss what they are learning about. Just below in the resource section of this page there are materials for you to use at home. All you have to do is click the name of each one and it will take you to that resource. We also pass out these materials every Sunday morning after Sunday School.
Resources
Monthly Parent Take Home: This is a great tool to use at home with your elementary school children to reinforce the lessons being taught at church.
Wednesday Night Verses: These are the verses that your child will be learning on Wednesday nights.
God Time Card: This is a resource for your child to use at home. It is a short little devotional for them to do four days out of the week. The God Time Card is a great way for your child to begin having quiet times.
