Pre-school
Each week is full of objects for kids to touch, wild and wiggly activities to get them moving, crafts they will love getting into, and real life situations they can relate to. Our goal is to help each child master one concept at a time by creatively repeating the Bottom Line in a way that it will stick.
Each teaching session begins with activities to introduce kids to the day's topic and help them feel welcome and comfortable in their classroom. Next, preschoolers take part in a Bible story and worship. After the Bible story, a monthly Bible Verse is practice and then preschoolers take part in a variety of activities that will help them apply what they're learning. At sometime during most classes we play a 12 minute DVD with Boz the Bear. We provide a snack each class – food is essential!!! Lots of time is provided for free play and interaction with fellow classmates.
Preschool ministry is offered at both 9:00am and 10:30am Sunday morning services

How a Sunday morning goes down:
For children from Kindergarten to 5th grade. There is a 5-7 minute “Hang time.” During this time, kids interact with each other and their small group leaders. This is a great time where they get to burn off a bit of energy and friendships are made. Afterwards, we will usually begin with a large group interactive game that relates to the concept we will be learning about that morning. This allows the children to have fun getting engaged in the morning and getting their minds plugged in. Next we move to a time of worship designed specifically for the child, that is fun, engaging, relevant, and honoring to God. We then move to a large group teaching time that will include an interactive skit/game/play that includes kid volunteers to randomly join in the action and teaching. This is where the main concepts are given. Next we move to small groups where the kids apply what they have learned from the bible lesson in a way that is more personal with a teacher than in the large group to make sure all children grasp the concepts. This provides a good teacher to student ratio for learning.
This ministry is offered at both the 9:00am and 10:30am Sunday services.
Throughout the year, the children's ministry has children and family events that are fun and a great opportunity to bring friends to that aren't familiar with Celebration Lutheran Church.
