Our kids are our future. The church is only ever one generation away from extinction, and we take very seriously our role in teaching and guiding them. We have established a program that allows them to learn about God and grow in their faith in a child-centered environment with lessons specifically designed for their age group.
Our nursery (ages 0-18 months) is open every Sunday. There is a children's program on the first thru fourth Sundays. On the fifth monthly Sunday, children 18 months and older join us in the sanctuary for a family service.
Through our Children's Department, we have and American Heritage Girls (AHG) troops that meets on the 2nd and 4th Mondays of each month at 6:00pm. This program are geared toward girls from age 5 - 18. They enjoy indoor and outdoor activities that build character, teach leadership skills, and help them connect with each other and the community through service.
activities for children and youth
Rkids
Our youngest class is known as the RIVERS and is for ages birth - 18 months. The next age group is the RAILS and will be a step up from the nursery for ages 18 -36 months. The older class is the ROADS for ages 3yrs to 5th grade.
The nursery for our RIVERS will be open every Sunday. The classes for the RAILS and ROADS is available on the first and third Sundays of every month. On the second and fourth (and any fifth) Sundays, clipboards are provided at the Kid Check-in area that are full of activities for them to do during the adult service.
Reedswood Youth
Our youth program is currently being reworked. We want to provide an enriching time for them to come together that is geared toward the teenage experience. The goal is to keep the gospel relevant to what they are experiencing during this season of their lives and to help them mature in their faith through the mentorship of adult leaders.
