Little Lights
KIDS MINISTRY
Sundays at 10:00 AM
Little Lights’ mission is to help families meet Jesus, imitate Jesus, and share Jesus through the Gospel, relationships, and service. We seek to partner with parents in nurturing the spiritual development of each child and encourage them to actively participate in worship, Bible study, fellowship, and ministry opportunities individually and with their children. We want to nurture a child’s relationship with God, volunteers’ relationships with one another and children, and our relationship with families.
During all Sunday gatherings, infants – 5th graders are welcome at Little Lights! We pray children begin to believe and enjoy the Gospel – the good news that God saves sinners through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ – through activity-based, gospel-saturated teaching. This includes Bible stories, music, opportunities to share, and chances to respond to God’s love with faith and belief.
God Rules
Ask: “Who is in charge at home?”
Explain that because God created everything, He is in charge of everything.
Revelation 4:11
We Sinned
Ask: “Have you ever done something wrong?”
Tell kids that everyone sins or disobeys God. Our sin separated us from God.
Romans 3:23
God Provided
Explain that God is holy and must punish sin. God sent his Son, Jesus, to take the punishment we deserve.
John 3:16
Jesus Gives
Ask: “What is the best gift you’ve ever received?”
Say that Jesus took our punishment for sin by giving His life, and He give us His righteousness. God sees us as if we lived the perfect life Jesus lived. Best gift ever!
2 Corinthians 5:21
We Respond
Explain that everyone has a choice to make.
Ask: “Will you trust Jesus as your Savior and Lord? You can turn away from self and sin and turn to Jesus.”
Romans 10:9-10

HOW DOES AGE IMPACT WHAT KIDS CAN KNOW ABOUT JESUS?
As kids grow, their understanding of foundational truths grows with them. Follow the link below to select your child’s age group to find out how they learn best! The concept areas are presented from infancy through high school and reflect levels of understanding that follow how God designed children to learn.
Join The Team!
We are committed to equipping kids to walk with Jesus for a lifetime. As we continue to grow as a ministry we want to invite more volunteers to serve on Sunday once a month in Little Lights and play a role in seeing the next generation of Christ followers raised up!

Family Sundays
We desire for Sunday gatherings to be multi-generational and value having children in the room! Throughout the year we incorporate what we call a Family Sunday into our Sunday gathering rhythms. On these Sundays, Little Lights classrooms are only offered for infants through age 4. Our hope is that this will encourage families to participate in the gathering together in order to celebrate Jesus, delight in His Word, respond in worship, remember the Lord’s Supper, learn, witness, and pray.

OUR CURRICULUM
Little Lights has decided to utilize Lifeways’ Gospel Project Curriculum. The curriculum was chosen with prayerful consideration of what values we believe it projects to each participant. Therefore, every age group will be learning the same Bible story each week, have different age-appropriate activities, and have the same goal of pointing every story in the Bible back to Jesus and equipping our kids to live gospel-filled lives individually, in community, and on mission!
