KIDS
KIDS
Every Sunday our classrooms are filled with all kinds of kids, and we are so excited to tell them about Jesus! Our goal is to partner with your family to help your kids experience and know how much God loves them.
We’ve designed age-appropriate classes and activities that are fun, engaging, and all about Jesus! Most weeks all students can be dropped off in the nursery, preschool, or gym starting at 10:15 and will be ready to be picked up from the same location around 11:45 when church is over.
Our Purpose:
to provide a safe, loving, child-centered environment in which preschoolers can learn
to come alongside parents to encourage them in the task of spiritual training for their children
to enable and encourage parents and families to practice the spiritual disciplines of worship, study, prayer, evangelism and ministry
CHILDREN'S MINISTRY
SCC's youngest members all have classes in the main building to the left of the main auditorium.
Discoverers (Birth - 2 Years)
Our nursery is complete with changing table, cribs, and toys for your growing baby. We know that life is crazy at this stage and that your child is learning and growing in amazing ways. We are ready to help!
Star Gazers (2 -3 Years)
When students outgrow the nursery area, we transition them into our Star Gazers classroom where they participate in singing worship songs, eating a snack, a simple craft, and a weekly Bible story.
Trail Blazers (3 - PreK)
Our Trail Blazer class is filled with fun and includes a play room and snack time. For our lesson times we gather around for Bible story time and expound on the story through hands-on activities.
STUDENT MINISTRY
Our Kindergarten - 6th graders gather in the Fellowship Hall behind the main building.
When students get dropped off in the gym, they can choose to do a number of fun activities like play basketball, air hockey, fooseball, Wii, climb the rock wall, and more. After the 10-15 minutes of free play we begin our large group time by gathering all of the kids into our Summit room for worship and a Bible lesson.
Navigators (K-3rd) & Adventurers (4th-6th)
After large group time kids are dismissed into their peer group classrooms where they continue with age designed activities. We aim to build up our students in their knowledge of the Bible and help them to develop a personal relationship with Jesus. We offer a variety of activities, crafts, and games to help our students learn about God in a fun environment.
SUNDAY NIGHTS
eSummit (K-5th)
First Sundays of every month from 6-8 in the gym
eSummit is our youth group for elementary and middle school students. We follow the same format that we do with the older Summit students in order to give them a taste of what Sunday night youth group will be when they reach middle school.
Summit (6th -12th)
Every Sunday Night except for the first Sunday of the month from 6-8 in the gym
Summit Sunday nights are the perfect opportunity for our middle and high schoolers to invite their friends to come hang out at church and enjoy each other's company. These nights are often filled with music, laughter, group games and a variety of shenanigans.
HAVE KIDS? >>> HAVE QUESTIONS? >>> WE HAVE ANSWERS
In order to safety and securely check-in of all kids at SCC, parents or guardians need to accompany their kids to their classrooms to fill out some brief paperwork and meet the teachers before they attend class for the first time. You’ll probably want to plan about 10 extra minutes to visit the kid's areas the first time you check them in.
It is at this time that you should let the teachers know if your child has any special needs or dietary restrictions.
To protect your baby’s skin, we want to use your diaper products. Please be sure to stock your bag with diapers, wipes, burp cloths, or whatever it is that your baby may need while in the care of our nursery workers.
When you check-in your kids, please indicate all food allergies.
At check-in to the nursery, please indicate when you expect your baby to eat and include any special instructions we’ll need to know.
Common preschool snacks include goldfish and animal crackers.
Student ministry snacks might include goldfish, Doritos, Lays chips, or Oreos.
Many of our volunteers are parents, grandparents, or family members of our kids or have had their children go through the SCC student ministry themselves.
When people sign up or volunteer, they fill out a background information form that the office staff runs to ensure our students are in a safe and encouraging environment.
Sometimes a child just needs to see their parents and that's OK!
If a parent or guardian is needed at any time during our service one of our volunteers will come into the adult auditorium and take you back to your child.
To protect the health of all in attendance, children who show signs or symptoms of fever or any other contagious disease are not accepted into our classrooms.
We have first aid kits in all of our rooms and many of our volunteers are CPR certified.
Kids in the nursery, toddler, and preschool classrooms are promoted to the next class around their birthday, according to their age. The transition from nursery to toddler is determined on a case by case basis by how talkative or mobile the child is.
Kindergarten and up aged students are promoted to the next class at the beginning of the school year.
Serving students is very rewarding. People can volunteer on a weekly, monthly, or bi-weekly rotation. We are flexible, and love to have people experience what it's like to share their faith with students.
Lessons and curriculum are provided to all volunteers. This means the lessons are pre-written and shared with volunteers ahead of time. As a volunteer, you have a lot of flexibility and activity options ranging from discussion questions, science experiments, Bible reading, games, and more. As a teacher, you can choose which activities would be the best fit for you/your group; however, you do not have to create the lessons from scratch.
If you are interested in serving, you can let our pre-school director or youth minister know. They will run a background check and discuss with you which area you would most like to serve. They will also coordinate a schedule that could work best for you.
