Children's Ministry
3rd to 5th Grade

  3rd to 5th Grade

Sunday School - 10:00 am

A place where kids beg to come!

The Elementary classroom is located in the Children’s Ministry area next to the playground and is designed for children in Kindergarten to 5th Grade. The children are broken into three groups K and 1st graders, 2nd and 3rd graders and 4th and 5th graders.

Each week children participate in our Elevate worship service in a media rich classroom designed as a small theatre. It is comes complete with a stage, curtains, movie projection system, sound system and lights that pulsate with the music as kids worship.

Children are involved in every aspect of this creative and fun service through songs, games, drama and weekly Bible lesson, small groups, as well through offering and prayer. Each lesson is designed so children can apply it to their daily lives.

At the end of the service a Parent Flyer is provided with a summery of what your child learned during the worship service along with some ideas for how to incorporated the lesson into your child’s daily life.

Mid-Week Program - B.L.A.S.T.

BLAST is a FREE after school program for 3rd to 5th Graders that meets every Thursday from 6:00 pm to 7:45 pm.

Kids go through a lot of changes as they come into their preteen years. Many kids are just trying to find their place.  BLAST is designed to equip kids with the tools they need as they try to figure out... who they are and where they fit in... without compromising their values.

 Each week the kids at BLAST get together to play AWESOME games,  pray for each other, have a great snack and learn about themselves and their relationship with God.

Each week kids "grapple" about a different topics and compare to what they do and what the bible says they should do.

This is a great way for preteens to connect and build meaningful relationships with other kids their age.

Summer Camp - UCYC

Children head up to Prescott to get out of the heat for a unique “summer camp” experience usually in June of each year.

Since 1952, UCYC has been situated atop the heights of the massive granite boulders and pines resting in Prescott, Arizona. The Camp sits at an altitude of 5,600 feet and is shadowed by the majestic face of Thumb Butte. The Camp's high elevation creates an ideal year-round climate with unique seasons to define God's creation.  With one heart, mind, and purpose, UCYC's mission is…

"Building partnerships to provide life-changing experiences that impact the world."
