Children's Ministries
At Stroudwater, kids are
our future,
so we invest in
them!
Nursery
We have well staffed
nursery care available during the church service for infants up to age 3. All
our staff and volunteers are background checked, trained and adore taking care
of your little ones. Our Nursery is located in the Kingdom Kids’ hallway that
is visible for added security and comfort We also implement a strict check-in
and check-out policy to insure the safety of your children while in our care.
Kingdom Kids
Our Children’s Ministry is
called “Kingdom Kids” and includes children in pre-school through the fifth
grade. We are so excited to be running this wonderful program on Sunday
mornings at our Cinemagic campus. The kids get to experience their own church
service in their very own theater, complete with worship music videos. Kingdom
Kids runs at the same time as the adult service. There is much fun to be had by
everyone with crafts, activities, Bible lessons, small group time and
snacks. The pre-school and Kindergarten children are divided into groups
according to ability and needs. The older children remain together throughout
the service and separate for small group discussion time. We conclude our
service together as one big group for prayer and for check out time.
Terri Brown is our Director of Christian Education and she has a special place
in her heart for all our kids. Here are a few things she wants to make sure
you know:
- Since we know you're
concerned about the safety of your children, we do background checks on all
teachers and volunteers. We have also developed a safety team that is in
place every weekend. No one is allowed to go beyond the “Safety Zone”
without a pass.
- We also implement
strict check-in and check-out policies. To insure the safety of your
children while in our care, we use family photo I.D.’s for verification.
- Empowering Kids
Curriculum is currently being used throughout the Children’s Ministry program
to help facilitate family discussions. It teaches them “What they should
see?”, “What‘s the key?”, “What’s that to me?” And “How should I be?” We also
run an amazing VBS program during the summer. Kingdom Kids’ Volunteers
believe that is not what kids are taught that matters, it is what is caught.
Did they really get it? Do they know how to apply it?
- We are fortunate to
have many nurses on our volunteer staff that helps to oversee any physical
needs that may arise. Knowing that many of our kids have allergies, we
provide safe snacks and stay current with personal health information.
- Since excellence is our
goal, we want to share with you how proud we are to have the finest
volunteers around. Kingdom Kids’ volunteers, as a group, have many years of
training and experience.
