Children

"And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up."

Deuteronomy 6:6-7

Our Children’s Ministry strives to equip the next generation of disciples and disciple-makers with a strong, scripture-rooted foundation in the gospel. We are committed to teaching the Bible to children in PreK-6th grade whenever our church meets. While ate, play games, do crafts, and have a lot of fun! But everything we do intentionally points us back to the simplicity of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Southside, kids will sing, danc

aWANA

Our Wednesday night children’s ministry is dedicated to the Awana discipleship program, focusing exclusively on building lifelong followers of Christ through Scripture memory, engaging lessons, and fun. We teach our kids about who God is, how much He loves them, and how He sent His Son to die for us. As Jesus tells His disciples in Matthew 19:14, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” Our goal is to bring Christ's message to our children in a way they can understand, so they can experience the personal salvation found only in Jesus. Check-in starts at 5:45 pm, and the program runs from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm—we hope to see you there!

Sunday Mornings

Small Groups 9:15 am

Psalm 119:9-11 reminds us that the best way for a young person to stay on the path of righteousness is to heed God’s word and hide it in their heart. In our Children’s Small Groups, we are beginning a journey through the entire Bible. From creation to Revelation, we want our kids to experience the entirety of God’s word so they can begin to discover its beauty. As they study the Bible, our kids will discover that they’re a lot like the people God has always loved and worked through to accomplish his will. We hope you’ll join us on Sunday mornings at 9:15 for Small Groups!

During Worship Service

In 2022, we launched our new Grow curriculum for Children’s Church! Each month has a unique theme that helps relate the gospel to our kids. Think VBS – every month! Our Children, pre-K through 2nd grade, attend Children’s Church every Sunday during the preaching segment of our worship service. We believe our Children are best served by a sermon that’s more on their level. Your child will leave Children’s Church eager to tell you how much fun they had learning all about the Word of God!
