We believe discipleship starts from the very beginning and continues throughout each individual's lifetime. In the Vineyard Children's 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:

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. We have implemented a check-in procedure to ensure the safety of your child.

* Some parents choose to keep their children with them in the service and there is a cry room available at the back of the auditorium for those wiggly toddlers and fussy babies.

Preschool: 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. They will join K-3rd grade upstairs for a combined lesson and story time. 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.

Kindergarten - 3rd Grade: K-3rd graders will meet during both Sunday morning services after the worship time. Children will be dismissed from the worship service and meet the lead teacher in the back of the sanctuary 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.

4-6 Grade: Are you in 4th, 5th or 6th grade? Want a cool class that's not too "young and baby-like" but not too "old and boring"? Join us! We meet the first 3 weeks of the month after worship during the 2nd service. We know you'll fit right in!

Interested in volunteering? There are many ways to get involved!! All children's ministry volunteers go through an application process and background check.
