Children's MinistriesThe Children Ministries of First Assembly exist to introduce the children to the Gospel, continually build them up by ministering to their needs through prayer, effectively disciple them through weekly activities, create an environment where the children are able to seek after our Lord in worship, and bring forth opportunities to help build a stronger family foundation. We offer quality Children’s Ministry by trained volunteers to every child from birth through sixth grade. The following is a list of some of the programs we offer for children.
Praise Place is comprised of
Nursery (ages 0-18 months), Toddlers (18 months- 2 years), and Preschool
(3-5 years). These ministries are available during both Sunday
morning services and during the Wednesday evening service. We have
a safe and secure system to check the children in with in order to
provide peace of mind for our parents. Children can be checked in
down the stairs by the main entrance.
Ardent Kids is for elementary
aged children from kindergarten to sixth grade. The kids will
participate in discipleship groups, worship, prayer, and games that are
fun and encouraging! Ardent Kids meets in the Kids' Chapel located behind the main building in the Family Life Center at
10:00am on Sundays. On Wednesday evenings (during school year) at
6:30pm, elementary kids enjoy discipleship through Heaven Chasers (boys
K-4th) and Impact Girls (girls K-4th).
The mission of Heaven Chasers is
to create an environment to disciple boys and teach them more about
Jesus Christ. Our leaders are passionate about bringing forth the
Bible in a true, relevant form through interesting activities that boys enjoy.
Heaven Chasers meet on Wednesdays at 6:30pm in the Family Life Center
during the school year.
Mpact
Girls
is a ministry tool to help fulfill the Titus 2 principle of women
mentoring girls in grades K-6 by providing encouragement, support,
and accountability through lasting Christian relationships.
Girls can begin Mpact Girls in kindergarten and continue through 6th
grade. Mpact Girls meet on Wednesdays at 6:30pm in the Family
Life Center during the school year.
Grapple is a
ministry geared toward meeting the spiritual needs of pre-teens (5th &
6th grade). These pre-teens act differently, think differently, and
learn differently. Thought-provoking videos, fun games, and
life-changing Bible lessons help kids get answers to the tough questions
they are asking about faith, relationships, and the choices they make.
Grapple meets in the Coffee House on Wednesday evenings at 6:30pm during
the school year.
Boys and
Girls Missionary Crusade (BGMC) is the missions education emphasis for
children at First Assembly. Kids learn about missions while
supporting missionaries in their fields of ministry in America and around
the world. Every student is given a
Buddy Barrel (a yellow bank) for their change; on the first Sunday of
every month, students bring their Buddy Barrels to Kids' Church to be
emptied out. An accurate count of all money given is recorded so
students can see they are making a big difference around the world.
