Children
Jesus said: “‘Let the little children come to me; do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs. Truly I tell you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will never enter it.’ And he took them up in his arms, laid his hands on them, and blessed them.”
(Mark 10.14-16)
Children's Sunday School
Age 4 - grade 5
Welcome to the Children’s ministry of Vine Church! We engage children from age 4 through grade 5 in age-appropriate activities that teach the Word of God and invites children to experience the story of God’s love through relationships, learning, and service.
HOW IT WORKS
Children’s Sunday School class is from 9:30 – 10:15 am and runs from September – May (with occasional holiday breaks). We ask that parents drop children off in the Sunday school room any time after 9:15 am. You may pick them up after Sunday School and head to worship together as a family.
CURRICULUM
The Sunday school class uses the Sparkhouse curriculum, which provides fun interactive activities to help kids see how God’s story relates to the world around them. Our interactive learning includes hands-on activities, games, creative crafts, and a whole lot of fun. We incorporate music each week in a variety of ways. After all, music is a great way for children to learn about faith, love for Jesus, and offer their praise to God!
-
Children's Handbell Choir occurs every other week. The children’s handbell choir is led by the Joyful Noise Bell Choir director, and they perform during worship service 3-4 times throughout the year. Each student is provided a colored t-shirt to wear over their own clothes on the day of their performance.
-
Music and Movement Sunday occurs every other week (alternating with the bell choir) and includes Christian music sing-and-dance-along and puppet ministry.
Mission is a big part of our Sunday School class. Each year, our students plan and participate in 1-2 mission projects that serve a variety of organizations locally and globally.

Cradle Roll
Our newest "members" are placed on a "Cradle Roll" at birth. Through this ministry the baby receives a baby bible. When children reach the age of three, they "graduate" from Cradle Roll.
Children's Message
Children’s Message is part of our regular worship service where the children are invited to the front of the sanctuary to hear a message specifically for them.
Each Sunday, there is a meaningful message about God’s world for children during the beginning of the worship hour. We end our message time by inviting the congregation to pray with us. We encourage families to have their children come forward for this time during worship so they can share in the lesson. We offer students a small candy treat of a Smartie for their participation.
Nursery
We have a lovely nursery for children birth through Kindergarten staffed by our congregation volunteers during the worship hour. We encourage families to worship together, however, if you would like your young ones to have a time to relax and play, they can go to the nursery after our Children’s message time with our Nursery volunteer.
The nursery does not always have a staffed attendant and may require parents/guardians of children in the nursery to remain with their child/ren.
