--------------------------------------------------------------------------


Our Curriculum during COVID


When you enter the Children's Theater on Sunday morning, you can register your children for Bridge Kids at the registration area, just inside the lobby before the hallway to the women's bathroom. For your family's security, we utilize a check-in system. Each child receives a name tag which corresponds to the parent's ID number which is presented when picking up the child after the service in the lobby area. Our Registration Attendant is available to assist you in this process and gladly welcome your child!

Nursery: Babies 6 weeks- Children age 3: Parents are welcomed to walk their children down to the nursery and pick them up following the service.


Bridge Kids: Children Grades PreK-3: Children remain with parents for the first portion of the service, and will be dismissed to Bridge Kids just before the sermon.  Following a short lesson introduction as a whole group, Bridge Kids will split into their age-appropriate classes for the remainder of the service.  Present your family ID number when picking up your children, and our volunteers will escort your PreK-3rd grade children out to the registration area.



Curriculum and Virtual Worship


Through the summer season our Bridge Kids team has made the decision to continue lessons from BetterBibleTeachers.com (you can check out their statement of faith, HERE). This summer, Bridge Kids will be looking at the life of Peter, an ordinary person that God used to do extraordinary things.


Classrooms

Nursery & Walkers


Our nursery and walker's room is designed for children birth to 3 years. It is set up to meet the individual needs of your baby or toddler. We have a safe, developmentally appropriate environment for your child to be nurtured while you are in church. This room is filled with fun, age-appropriate toys such as books, puzzles, cars, dolls, and blocks. It is a great opportunity for your toddler or baby to explore, learn, and make friends.




Preschool

Our preschool classroom is designed for 3 and 4 year old children. Our classroom is set up to allow your preschooler many tangible ways to learn about Jesus and interact with peers-all while having a ton of fun. Each week's preschool lesson uses hands-on activities, music, and games to help your preschooler learn the Bible Lesson, Bible Point, and Bible Verse for that week. Each child is sent home with a take-home sheet for further exploration throughout the week.




Kindergarten through 2nd Grade

Our K-2 classroom is designed for children Kindergarten through 2nd grade. This class is highly interactive with activities such as games and crafts to reinforce the Bible Lesson, Bible Point, and Bible Verse. 

Each child is sent home with a take-home sheet for further exploration throughout the week.



3rd through 5th Grade

Our 3-5 classroom is designed for children in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. This class is similar to the K2 classroom with highly interactive activities to help your child learn the week's Bible Lesson, Bible Point, and Bible Verse-but the curriculum is geared toward 3-5 grade children and helps older children take their next steps in their relationship with Jesus. 

Each child is sent home with a take-home sheet for further exploration throughout the week.
