Children's Ministries
Children's Ministry Mission Statement
The JKPC children's ministry team strives to
build a faith that grows. The children learn God's word, share God's love,
experience God's grace, talk to God through prayer, praise God through song
and come to a deeper relationship with Christ.
We
offer Sunday School Classes for children in Preschool – 5th
Grade. Our theme this
year is "Let Your Light Shine!” Nursery Care is available for little ones,
and we also have a Cry Room behind the Sanctuary where parents can still
both see & hear the service.
Join us for fun every Sunday afternoon in March as we conclude discovery of how Jesus is the ultimate best friend!! There are games, crafts and snacks! Bring your friends to join the fun.
Sonbeams (K-2nd Grade) meet from 4-5 p.m.
Moovin' Up! (3rd to 5th Grade) meets from 4-5:30 and includes chimes!
Cherubs (preschoolers) meet twice in March, on the 7th and the 28th on February 14th only from 4-5 p.m.
