Children's Ministry

WHO WE ARE

A full Children's Ministry Program is offered during Sunday services, held on the first floor beneath the sanctuary. Each Sunday, our goal is to ensure that our children have the opportunity to joyfully worship and grow in their relationships with Jesus.

OUR HEART

At Church of the Resurrection, our Heart is to Show God’s Love, Share God’s Truth, and Serve with Joy.

At Resurrection, we want our heart for children to reflect God’s own heart for them. When we look at Jesus’ life, we see God’s heart. Jesus' interactions with children provide a profound example of God's love and care for the young ones among us. It's a beautiful reflection of how we should approach children. Jesus made time for children in his ministry; he held them close and blessed them. He teaches that children have a special place in the kingdom of God. We, too, want to join with the heart of Christ and value and bless children. We want them to know the love of the Father, the grace of the Lord Jesus, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 13:14).

"And they were bringing children to him that he might touch them, and the disciples rebuked them. But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, “Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on them." - Mark 10:13-16

OUR MISSION

The faith and spiritual formation of children is one of Resurrection’s highest priorities.

Our desire is for every child to experience the love and goodness of God through the grace of Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit. We aim to create a joyful, secure, and engaging environment to steward children’s hearts in timeless Biblical truths through developmentally appropriate experiences with Bible-focused teaching, prayer, worship, and small-group discussion. We desire to see each child find their place in the community of faith and use their gifts to serve God, even at a young age. 

We are committed to strengthening and supporting families in discipling their children and building a Gospel-centered foundation of faith. We want to see God glorified in children and their families.

THE CURRICULUM

The curriculum used is called Grow. It offers scripture, videos, activities, games and music. Grow offers a variety of themed series for each month of the year. The curriculum will take kids through every major Bible story in a three-year cycle, spending time in the Old Testament and New Testament.

If you would like to learn more about our curriculum, please reach out to our Children’s Director Melissa Skinner.

OCTOBER SERIES OVERVIEW

Get your hard hats ready, blueprints out, and gather all your materials. This month, we are learning all about King Solomon, who built God's temple and magnificent palaces. As Solomon builds the temple, we will be building our own foundation on God's words and wisdom. So let's get under construction!

We’ll see how Adonijah tried to take over as king, but God’s plan was for Solomon to be king. Then, we’ll learn that Solomon asked God for wisdom when he became king. Another thing we'll learn is that Solomon built a temple to honor God. Next, we'll learn how Solomon used wisdom to resolve a conflict between two women. Finally, we’ll see how the word of Solomon’s great kingdom spread, and even the Queen of Sheba heard of Solomon’s wisdom and came to visit him. 

The memory verse for the month of October is James 1:5, "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you."
