Children’s Ministry

We believe discipleship starts from the very beginning and continues throughout each individual’s lifetime. In the Vineyard Kids’ Ministry, you are never too young to encounter a real and loving Creator and know the importance of being in relationship with Him. The children’s ministry is divided into four separate age-appropriate groups:

Checking In: To ensure the safety of each child that comes to the Vineyard, we have implemented a check-in process called KidCheck. Parents are asked to check in their child at the Children’s Ministry desk before worship begins. For more information, please visit www.kidcheck.com or call the office with any questions you may have.

Nursery

Meets the entire time during both Sunday morning services and is for ages infant thru 2 ½ years old. These little ones enjoy their own age appropriate worship, crafts, snack and story time.  Our goal is to provide a safe atmosphere that displays God’s love and kindness in a practical, playful way.

* Some parents choose to keep their children with them in the service. There is also a nursing mom’s room available in the children’s area complete with live video feed of the sermon.

Preschool-Kindergarten

Also meets during both Sunday morning services. This class is for children 2 ½ -5 years old. The preschoolers will engage in crafts, snack and energetic worship. Our goal is to share God’s truth through hands-on Biblical teaching. We have implemented a check-in procedure with these little ones also. You will pick them up at the same classroom where you dropped them off.

1st – 4th Grade

K-4rd graders will meet during the Sunday morning service after the worship time.  Children will be dismissed from the worship service and meet the lead teacher in the back of the auditorium where they will be escorted to their classroom. The children will learn the basic foundations of what it means to be in relationship with God. This is accomplished through Biblical teaching, interactive story time, crafts and worship.

Fizz Fusion (5-6th grade)

Fizz Fusion is a group for 5th-6th graders who come together to pursue God and learn what it means to love Him and the community around us. We meet the 1st and 3rd Sunday of every month during both worship services in the 45 room. Every 5th Sunday will be service and outreach focused.

Interested in volunteering? There are many ways to get involved!! All children’s ministry volunteers go through an application process and background check. Please pick up an application on the back table of the sanctuary and contact Nikki McMaster for further information.
