June 26-29 | 9 am-Noon
At Stellar, kids ages four - fourth grade discover how they can shine Jesus’ love and hope in everyday life! Kids participate in Bible-learning activities, sing catchy songs, play teamwork-building games, and so much more. Kids will also learn to look for evidence of God all around them.

Fifth Grade Missions Week 2023
June 26-29
Fifth Grade Missions Week is a four-day program for rising sixth graders that goes beyond the Vacation Bible School experience to fill the gap between VBS and Middle School Ministries. It is important for children to know and love God and then to show God’s love to others. We can introduce children to biblical concepts of service but in our “what’s in it for me?” society, we need to help them put service into practice. That’s what our Fifth Grade Mission Week is designed to do. Students begin each morning with a lesson and then go out into the community to serve others.

Let The Children Know Jesus
OUR MISSION is for all people, including children, is to say “yes” to Jesus with their whole lives. To that end, we strive to be a warm and welcoming place where children begin to learn, experience and share the depth of Jesus’ love.
SCRIPTURE: We also strive to make sure that children learn not only the stories of the Bible, but how they connect with the overarching story of the Bible: a story of God’s love and redemption through Jesus Christ.


Infant & Toddlers
We want you to know your child is safe and comfortable so you can peacefully focus your attention on worship and replenish your soul for the important job of parenting. We’ve organized child care by age and stage, and each child is attentively cared for and loved in a clean, engaging and safe environment.
Nursery, please contact Melinda Miller for more information.

Wednesday Night Live

Children’s Church (kindergarten – 2nd Graders)
Beginning on September 12

Sacraments Class (3rd – 5th Grade)
We are often asked “When can my child take communion?” This question usually comes up as your child begins to participate in the worship service. To equip parents in making this decision we offer classes for 3rd – 5th graders and their parents.

Fifth Grade Ambassadors
An exciting opportunity for 5th graders to be a “5th Grade Ambassador”! God provides people of all ages with spiritual gifts to enrich their lives and equip them for growth in faith and service to God and others. Our preteens are no exception, they are leaders, servers, teachers, encouragers, givers and they are compassionate. The goal of the 5th Grade Ambassador program is to help preteens understand that serving God is something that each of us can do, and that God has given us special abilities to do just that.
This year's classes will take place November 6 & 13th at 9:15am.

Children’s Ministry Missions

Share Your Colors
Crayon Collection Boxes are located on the First Floor (preschool hall) and Third Floor of Building A. We will be collecting crayons all year long!
The Crayon Initiative organizes crayon collections that take unwanted crayons, re-manufactures them, and provides them to hospitals that are caring for children.
The wax from crayons is not biodegradable and will never break down, leaving a waxy sludge in our landfills for centuries to come. The Crayon Initiative supports environmental efforts by diverting crayons from the landfills. Annually, over 500,000 pounds of broken crayons are discarded in landfills throughout the country.
