The children's ministry at Hope is committed to building a spiritual foundation that will support the family in leading a child into a relationship with Jesus Christ.  Each ministry communicates God's love and gives solid knowledge of the Bible through creative teaching.

Sunday Mornings

Children are always welcome in our services. We keep a nursery staffed and available to provide care for young children (infant - 3 years).
Discovery Land is a fun and interactive, safe place for kids (age 2 to 5th grade) to learn about God and apply His truth to their lives. We care about your child’s Christian education and want them to experience all that God has for them.

Our purpose is to come alongside you and your child to help them discover an eternal treasure from God's Word. It's not enough to just learn about it; we also teach children how to apply new spiritual truths to their lives. Each ministry has been specifically designed to meet your child's spiritual needs and kids can tell the difference! They will leave excited about what they learned and experienced, asking to come back!

Our goal is to provide your children with a quality, kid-friendly Christian education in a safe environment. Your child will ‘walk through’ the Bible every 3 years. Your children will be challenged to fully understand the truth through a biblical worldview. Students will explore God’s special purpose for each of their lives. Bible knowledge, hands-on learning, and life application will captivate your child as they grow in their relationship with God and one another. They will unpack exciting Bible lessons to impact their life for eternity!

Children are dismissed to Discovery Land each Sunday just prior to the message during the 9:30 am Worship Service.  Some are picked up by their parents following the Worship Service; but to get the full Discovery Land experience, it’s better to let them remain and be picked up following the Adult Connections class that meets after the Worship Service.

Special Events

Rhythm & Rhyme Music Time is for children (infants - 5 years of age) with parents or caregivers. This program excites and stimulates a child’s senses as well as provides quality parent-to-child interactive time through music and movement in a safe, faith-based environment.
 
We meet on the Thursday mornings from 10:00 - 10:45 am. ​We are currently on break until this fall.
 
We believe that it is so important to have quality, interactive time with your child that we are offering this program for FREE.
