Families, Children, and Students
Gathering Families serve children and students ages 0-18 years. We believe that parents are the most influential spiritual leaders in a child’s life. Our goal is to partner with parents to provide their kids with a solid spiritual foundation that will lead them to an authentic faith in Christ. We offer three distinct programs as our part of that partnership. Read the brief descriptions of each ministry below.
Gathering Beginnings
Gathering Beginnings offers Sunday morning programs for babies through Kindergarten. Classes are available during 8 am, 9:30 am and 11 am services. We utilize the Gospel Project curriculum, which walks the kids chronologically through the Bible over a three year period. It is our hope that even from a young age, kids will know that all the Bible is about Jesus!
Gathering Kids
Gathering Kids offer Sunday morning programs for 1st-5th graders during the 9:30 am and 11 am services. Gathering Kids have their own large group worship and teaching time in addition to small group time with their own specific age groups. Gathering Kids, along with Gathering Beginnings, utilize the Gospel Project curriculum, which walks the kids chronologically through the Bible over a three year period. All kids from toddlers to elementary cover the same lesson each week, just in age-specific ways. This makes it easy for families to discuss the lessons together throughout the week! It is our hope that all the kids will see how all the stories of the Bible tie together and point to Jesus!
Gathering Students
Gathering Students is geared toward 6th -12th graders. Our goal is to equip students with a firm understanding of the gospel and a lifestyle centered on Jesus, and to walk with them (and parents) as they establish and grow their personal faith relationship with our savior. Our time together is to deepen our relationships with God, and each other, through Gospel centered teaching, small groups, worship, and prayer. We meet most Wednesday evenings at 6:10pm, with doors opening at 6pm.
