Celebration Kids

4 months - 4yrs old

Sundays 9am & 11am
Children's Learning Center: lower level

We are the Sunday ministry to children from four months old through four years old and their parents. Our mission is to stand with parents in their responsibility to lay a Biblical foundation so each child will know, love, and follow Jesus.

Curriculum

Infants

We use a very interactive curriculum over four quarters to teach the little ones:

  • God made the world
  • God made each child
  • God made homes and families
  • Jesus loves children

The Lesson is comprised of bright colored puppets, peek-a-boo objects, stuffed animals and toys that make sounds and music to focus the little ones as the presenter and teachers sing songs about the theme for the quarter. It allows the children to see, hear, touch, smell and sometimes taste as they learn about the world God made for them. Each lesson begins and ends with attention to the Bible, God’s special book.

Toddlers

Our Curriculum continues to teach the children that God is involved in every part of their lives, that He loves them and that He sent Jesus. They learn through directed play as they visit activity centers, hear a lesson peresented with music and puppets (and other visuals) and work on a take home activity that is designed to let parents know what is taught. The theme changes monthly as we strive to build security into their little hearts that God loves them and takes care of their every need and that His Word is true.

Older Preschoolers

The Curriculum used throughout these age groups introduces children to Bible stories and the character traits that God wants to see in their lives. The children involve themselves in creative introductory learning activities that introduce them to the central truth of the day’s lesson. Worship time includes music and a bible story told in a creative way to enable children of all learning styles to learn about God and His Word. A practical application activity reinforces the truth of the lesson and guides parents to follow up at home.

Wellness Policy

Children who show signs of fever, vomiting, or other contagious illnesses should be symptom and fever free for 24 hours before coming to Celebration Kids.

Core Values

  • Child Focused: Everything in our ministry must impress upon the children that they matter to God and to us.
  • Application Oriented Bible Teaching: We teach the Bible to the children so they are able to translate Bible truths into relevant, real experiences.
  • Creative Bible Teaching: We teach the Bible to children so it is not boring. We actively engage the children in memorable explorations of God and His Word involving them in interactive learning.
  • Intentional Shepherding: We build relationships with the children. We get to know them and their families. We create a sense of community among the teachers and the children so everyone feels a part of God’s family.
  • FUN: We make instruction and learning fun so each child will eagerly seek out the things of God and experience joy in learning about God and His love and being in His house.
  • Parent Targeted: We involve, inform and train parents to be their children’s first and best teachers.
  • Safe: Everything about our ministry must create a sense of safety for the children – physically, emotionally and spiritually.

This Month in CK

Just like Peter, we trust Jesus and His power in our lives one minute and become doubtful or fearful the next. Our circumstances can truly test our faith and if we allow ourselves to look away from Jesus, they can get the best of us. When we find ourselves overcome with fear or worry or stress, we just have to ask ourselves, “Why do you doubt?” and remember Jesus’ presence and power and call on Him in prayer with thanksgiving for His help. Then praise and worship Him for His help at that moment and for all the many instances of Jesus’ awesome power in our past! The Celebration Kids Team is blessed to teach your children this vital truth this month.

Bible Verse

The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him and I am helped. Therefore my heart exults (is happy) and with my song I shall thank Him. Psalm 28:7

One Main Point

Jesus has great power! I trust Him!
