Children's Ministry

"I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." -- Mark 10:15

At St. Thomas our children's ministry is a vital part of our church. Our weekly children’s lessons immerse children in age-appropriate biblical truths, helping to set a foundation that will last a lifetime. We partner with parents to bring God's influence into their child's life and mind. God's promises are taught in classes and children are challenged to keep His commandments in their daily lives.

Our summer program includes weekly videos with faith-based stories, devotions, prayer and activity prompts for families on the go. You can view all Kristi's Prayground videos here.

KRISTI'S PRAYGROUND

Our Vision

To create an environment where every child feels safe and loved
To teach the Bible in relevant, age-appropriate, and fun ways
To build trusting relationships where each child is known and loved and receives discipleship and encouragement
To build and nurture a community of adult leaders who are committed to their own faith and passionate in their ministries

Our Goal

Our goal is to strengthen the Christian values that are being placed in your child's heart at home. We are a complement to your parental guidance to ensure that your child receives an effective biblical foundation. If you need assistance, our children's ministry is available to provide resources and advice on how to better equip your family at home.

Nursery

We provide nursery care for children ages 3 months - 3 years on Sunday mornings at both of our worship services. The nursery is located on the first floor. During the hour, babies will be lovingly cared for while toddlers and 2 yr olds can participate in a brief age-appropriate craft and Bible story.

Sunday School

Our goal is to teach the Bible in exciting, child-targeted ways through drama, music, and other creative means. We want to disciple and nurture the children in an environment where they are known and loved, where they can build a community of trust, and learn to apply the Bible lessons in their own lives. We want our children to learn to make wise choices, to trust God and to treat others the way they want to be treated.

Our Curriculum

Sunday School is provided for all preschool and elementary-age children from 10:00-10:50 a.m. in the Children's Worship Center. We follow a themed monthly series for our Sunday School classes aligning with the current sermon series.

Children's Church

During our 11 AM service, we offer a program for children ages 3 years - 5th Grade. Children attend the beginning of the worship service with their family and then are dismissed to Children's Church after the Children's Message. The program is held in the Children's Worship Center on the first floor.

Tween Gatherings

All 3rd-5th Graders are invited to our monthly gatherings food, fun, faith, and a hands-on service project. Friends are always welcome!
