K thru 5th Grade
Children in Kindergarten through fifth grades continue to apply the Bible directly to their lives. They begin each week with a few minutes to socialize with their friends and teachers. Then they are off to worship. All of the grades stay together for worship and large group (which is a fun introduction to the day's lesson). They are then separated into small groups (age-appropriate classes to look closer at the lesson on their level). Small groups are led by the same teachers each week so that the children feel secure and know who will be with them each week.
Summer Program
June we begin our Vacation Bible School in the mornings! We started doing Vacation Bible School on Sunday mornings two years ago. We do a full blown Bible School program for kids during the morning worship hours each week. It is a great way to keep things fresh for the kids at church and it allows them to invite friends to join them for a fun filled experience throughout the summer.
Our first VBS program is PRAISE by Go Fish - watch the promo video below
How do you give kids a high view of God? Go Fish believes it is by modeling a high view of Scripture. This is the third curriculum from Go Fish and it is evident that churches have gravitated to their unique approach to VBS. Featuring music from Go Fish along with Denver and the Mile High Orchestra, your kids will be movin’ and groovin’ as they learn that they exist to give God praise!
Each day kids will focus on an attribute of God and then praise Him in response. This is a curriculum where kids will actively be using their Bibles. Through the daily skits, karaoke, crafts, snacks, games, and music, kids will have an awesome time while giving God the praise only He deserves. The overall theme and atmosphere of this curriculum centers around breakdancing, hip-hop, and dance. Kids will love the animated character DJ Pray-Z as he leads them each day in learning some sweet new moves!
Praise God For His Greatness - Scripture Focus: Daniel 2-3, Isaiah 42:8 - There is no object in heaven or on earth that is worthy of our praise. After studying the biblical account of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, kids will see that even King Nebuchadnezzar ended up giving praise to the one true God.
Praise God For His Authority - Scripture Focus: Daniel 6, 2 Chronicles 20:6 - There is no man that is worthy of our praise. After studying the biblical account of Daniel and the lion’s den, kids will see that even King Darius ended up giving praise to the one true God.
Praise God For His Providence - Scripture Focus: Acts 16:16-34, Psalm 121 - Even evil spirits acknowledge that there is only one true God. After Paul and Silas are thrown into jail for confronting an evil spirit they were beaten, put into shackles, and imprisoned. Once again the result was praise to God by Paul, Silas, their jailer and even his family!
Praise God For His Power - Scripture Focus: Luke 24:1-8, Romans 6:22-23 - There is nobody else who has the power to save. We are all prisoners to sin, but just like Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego, Daniel, Paul, and Silas we can be rescued from our shackles and give God the praise only He deserves.
Praise God For His Love - Scripture Focus: Romans 8:39, 1 John 4:9-10, Galatians 4:6-7 - God is love. His ultimate demonstration of this was sending Jesus to earth to take the punishment we deserve for our sin. By providing a way for us to be forgiven, God’s love naturally results in our giving praise back to Him. The gospel will be clearly presented on this most important day.
