Children's Ministry
Dear Parent and/or Guardian:
At Living Stones Church, we believe that the children we are entrusted with are God's and parents' most precious possessions. We are committed to the spiritual, emotional and physical well being of all the children under our care. To the best of our ability we will:
- Love all children and share God's love through our words and example.
- Lead children to Christ and help them grow in their faith and relationship to others
- Teach Biblical stories, values, and principles.
- Partner with parents in nurturing their children in the ways of the Lord.
- We sincerely thank you for the opportunity to be the "hands and feet" of Christ to your children and look forward to serving and supporting your family in any way that we can.
Yours in Christ,
Christina Barr
Children's Ministry Coordinator
and Kids' Church Volunteers
Our Nurseries are open during both Sunday services for little ones up to age three. The Nursing Mothers' Room, which broadcasts the services on closed-circuit television, is also open during these times. Loving care and attention is provided by volunteers who have a heart for giving your babies and toddlers a positive church experience. Upon check-in, each child is assigned a security number. An electronic pager system in the sanctuary alerts parents if they are required in the nursery at anytime during the service in order to meet any special needs their child may have.
Kids' Church starts right after the music part of our Worship Service, at 9:30 or 11:30 a.m. Kids' Church is an exciting program for kids ages 3 to 11. Each week we have games & other activities, worship, a large group lesson and a small group time. Kids' Church offers a complete, Biblically grounded program for exciting and life-changing services taught by leaders who are passionate about helping your children become followers of Christ.
'Club 456' meets one night a month and is for children in grade 4, 5 and 6. It is a night of fun and games. The vision for the 456'ers is to build godly relationships with each other, to encourage each other in our walk with God and to have fun and make memories! For more information check out the 'Club 456' website.
There are also opportunities throughout the year for your child(ren) to participate in special events, children's baptism classes, memory verse, poem and poster contests, Kids' Church dramas and puppet shows, Kid's Chorus, Vacation Bible School, visit the children's library, and receive the children's newsletter in addition to other areas that will be developed in the near future.
