Kids’ Ministry

GREAT IS THE LORD, AND GREATLY TO BE PRAISED!

Psalm 145:3

Welcome to Elim’s Kids’ Ministry, where our aim is to bring kids face to face with the Living God. Our focus is to remember that Jesus is our Good Shepherd, and when we love, trust, and follow him, he gives us everything we need for a life of peace with Him.

Elim has three Sunday school classes:

THE LILIES: Birth through 3 years old

“Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin… seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all else will be added to you.”

Matthew 6:28,33

In the Lilies, your child will have playtime, a song, a short lesson from the Bible, a coloring activity, and a snack. Our goal is to provide a place of comfort and consistency where kids feel the warmth of God’s love.

THE LIGHTS: 4 years old through 2nd grade

“Do all things without grumbling or disputing, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world.”

Philippians 2:14-15

In the Lights, kids are taught that the Lord is to be trusted because he is both powerful and loving. Every week your child will be taught from the Bible and led in prayer, with the expectation that God hears and answers. The main teaching here is that the Lord is a shepherd who loves his sheep and will care for them, and it is right for us to put ourselves in his hands. Simply by walking closely with him, we become lights in a dark world.

THE GARDEN: 3rd through 5th grade

The Bible teaches that when a person sets his heart on the ways of the Lord, he “shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.”

Isaiah 58:11

Kids in the Garden are taught to set their hearts on the ways of the Lord. Through Bible reading, games, prayer, and discussion, they will see what a life of faith looks like as it is lived out. Our hope is to help them make that essential “head to heart” connection.


VOLUNTEERS:

Classes are all taught by volunteers who love being with kids. When we serve your children, we understand that we are offering our service to the Lord, and He is the one who gives the growth.

Every volunteer is background checked before joining the team.
