Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me..."
Matthew 19:14
In Jarvis’ Children’s Ministry, our primary goal is to help children to KNOW God. Lessons, music, and crafts are designed to teach children who God is—His nature and attributes—and what He has done. Our goal is to produce a familiarity with God’s Word through explanation of key themes. At Jarvis, we believe that God has made himself known through His creation, His Word, and His Son. We encourage children to learn as much as they can about God by studying the Bible for themselves. We want children to experience a personal relationship with God by trusting in Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
programs
Our programs center around Bible teaching, and we are always looking for new and creative ways
to teach the truths of God’s Word. From Preschool through Elementary, our programs are
designed to give kids an understanding of what the Bible says and how to apply it to their lives.
For children ages 3-12, we plan special activities during the school year and weekly activities during the week.
Sunday School
We have three age group Sunday School classes that meet from 10:00-10:55am. A Preschool class for three and four year olds, a K-2 class, and 3rd-5th grade class. We are currently using the Cokesbury curriculum: Celebrate Wonder. Celebrate Wonder is a Sunday school curriculum that engages children’s natural sense of curiosity to help them understand God’s love. It creates a safe environment for kids to ask big questions — helping them explore the Bible in ways that feed their imagination and encourage creativity. Through carefully-selected Bible stories, songs, videos, and hands-on activities, Celebrate Wonder gives children the tools to explore their faith while incorporating it into their daily lives.
