3 Year Olds - Pre-K

Children 3 years old through Pre-K participate in an environment with consistent, loving small group leaders. The children begin promptly at 9:30 a.m. in their Sunday School Classroom for a short period of time with their small group leader. This is a time for the children to get comfortable and are introduced to their Bible lesson for the day. At 9:45 a.m., the children are led to the Preschool Large Group Space (Room 248 in the Nursery Hallway) for music and an exciting presentation of their Bible Story. The Sunday School hour ends back in their Sunday School Room with activities that help emphasize the Biblical concept learned and "Make It Stick". By the time children leave for Kindergarten, we want our children to know:
  • God Made Me
  • God Loves Me
  • Jesus Wants to Be My Friend Forever

Please come to the Children's Welcome Hallway and sign your child into our electronic check in safety system for a secure drop off.

  • I need to make the wise choice.
  • I can trust God no matter what.
  • I should treat others the way I want to be treated.
