you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.’”

Our mission at Shady Grove Church is to equip children with the tools they need to go light our world for Christ! We desire for all of our kids to develop a long lasting relationship with Him and learn how to stay firm in His Word. In doing this, the next generation will be set apart from the world and be a shining light of the love of Jesus!

we are so excited to welcome you to our children's program!
For children ages 0-4 ...
We have nursery available for both the 9:00 & 11:15 Worship times! We also offer nursery through the Sunday School hour @ 10:00!
For elementary-age children...
At 10:00 (during our church-wide Sunday School hour), you'd find our elementary students in a large group setting where we focus on forming friendships and encourage our children to get excited about what we're diving into learning! Children hear a new "Big Idea" each week to act as a takeaway from the lesson!
We will split off into two groups-- Kindergarten through Second in one group, and Third through Fifth in another! Our intention with splitting our age groups is to continue the concept we started in large group with a more individualized, age-appropriate approach!

-Registration for the child by the parent! You'll be asked questions about your child that will help us better serve them, and you! A volunteer or our Children's Leader, Hannah Sharp, will be happy to assist you with filling out this form! -There are Sunday School Groups available to you, the parent, during this time! You may also want to fellowship before our 11:15 service in the Narthex! -Pickup from Sunday School is in the same place you dropped off-- the Children's Area-- and that is at 11:05! |
Has your child asked jesus christ to be his or her lord and savior?
If so, we are rejoicing with you! This means that the next step is baptism. Baptism is a public declaration that you are beginning a new life in Christ and that you are committed to following Him. This is a major decision, so we encourage our kids to go through a mentoring process. Throughout this time, they will go in depth with an adult mentor about what it means to be a Christian. If this is something that you would be interested in for your child, please contact Pastor Jason or our Children's Leader, Hannah Sharp to discuss your next steps!
Are you interested in dedicating your child to the Lord?
We are so excited for you! Doing this allows parents to present their child before God and the church and commit to raising the child up through the wisdom and grace found in Him. If this is a commitment you are willing to take, please reach out to Pastor Jason or Hannah Sharp to arrange a time that we can witness and celebrate this dedication as a church family!

Children's Choir Our children’s choir meets every Sunday morning after the 9:00 worship service in the choir room. We rehearse music to lead in worship throughout the year, which includes both seasonal and general worship pieces. Children’s Choir is open to all children from K-5 grades. Our children bond together during practices and enthrall the congregation each time they lead in a worship service. We would love to grow our choir by having you join us! |
