Kids Church Classes are available for children during our Saturday night service at 6:00 PM and both Sunday morning services, 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM.

Nursery

All of our Kids Church services have the focus of passing on Jesus’ love to each baby and toddler. There is a monthly curriculum that follows a theme/lesson that is carried out as they are cared for.

Preschool-5th Grade

All Cornerstone Kids (CCKids) services have a traditional Sunday School format, emphasizing the teaching of God’s Word and building a relationship with God and others as they talk about their lesson for the day in fun and creative ways.

All children birth through 5th Grade attending Cornerstone Kids begin their check-in process at the Children’s Ministry Welcome Counter.

We have an automated check-in system where every child, regular attenders & visitors alike, need to have a completed Cornerstone Kids Registration Form on file. This form will give us your contact information, your children’s information – including any allergies, and who else (if any) may pick up your children other than you.

For security purposes; on your first visit your child(ren) will receive handwritten nametags with a random claim code that will match the parent’s/guardian’s claim ticket.

Upon your next visit, your child will be assigned to their appropriate age/grade level class and you will be able to use the automated check-in which will print out nametags and claim tickets with matching code.

Should you need any assistance with our check-in process, someone from our Welcome Team will be happy to assist you.

Babies & Toddlers – Go to the Nursery counter and present your Claim Receipt and Pager to the Nursery Volunteer. Claim Receipt number must match the number on the child’s name tag and you must also return the pager before a child is released. (Should your Claim Receipt be lost, be prepared to show your picture ID with matching information on your child’s Registration Form - even if you are someone well known to the volunteer).

Preschoolers thru 5th Grade – Go to your child’s classroom and present your Claim Receipt and tell them your child’s name. The classroom volunteer will compare your Claim Receipt number to the number on your child’s name tag. If you have more than one child, keep your Claim Receipt to show to the other classroom(s). (Should your Claim Receipt be lost, be prepared to show your picture ID with matching information on your child’s Registration Form - even if you are someone well known to the volunteer).

We encourage our children to be cheerful givers.

2 Corinthians 9:6-7 “The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”

We teach our older elementary children the concept of a tithe - a tenth part of something, given as a voluntary gift. When you get your allowance, you have the opportunity to willingly & joyfully give back to God one-tenth of whatever you get. (If you get a dime, a tenth is a penny…If you get a dollar, a tenth is a dime…and so on)

We teach our younger children the concept of an offering - anything you give Him, just because you love Him. It is not something you have to give; it’s something you give because you want to.

We can NEVER out give God – it’s all His anyway! What a JOY it is to give a small portion back to Him!

We offer Communion every 4th Sunday of the month in the 2nd – 5th Grade classrooms.

Communion is open to all children who have accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.

Parents: Please assist us in recognizing your child’s readiness for taking Communion by going over the statement below so they will truly understand the importance of this practice we follow as believers.

Who should participate in communion?

From Scripture, we can understand that only believers, those who have accepted Christ as their Lord & Savior, are to share in the Lord’s Supper.

The Lord’s Supper should be done in a spirit of careful thought & remembrance of Jesus’ death.

As the bread & the cup are about to be taken, this is an excellent time to remember all that our Lord has done for us.

Use this quiet time to remember to praise Him, confess your sins, repent & thank Him for His forgiveness.

Also use this time to think on all that Jesus has done for you because of His great love for you.

(I Corinthians 11:28 “A man ought to examine himself before he eats of the bread & drinks of the cup”)
