Redemption Church Children’s Ministry.







Hello parents!

We are so honored to be able to serve your family! As the children’s ministry director, I’m constantly thinking about your kids! At Redemption we are all about kids learning at their age appropriate level; so that, in their own time they will come to know and love Jesus Christ. We are doing everything we can do to nurture an authentic faith in our children. If you have ANY questions please contact me through email….I will respond and forward your question to the appropriate leader of each classroom. Thank you for being a part of our community and for bringing your kids to church!

Infant Room — 0-18 months

The infant room is a place where your child will feel loved. The room is led by four rotating leaders and a bunch of volunteers that just love hanging out with the babies on Sunday. Babies will be rocked, cuddled and have lots of play time. Our volunteers show Jesus’ love by caring and serving both babies and parents.

Infant Room Coordinator: Michelle Dunham

Toddler Room — 18 months-3 1/2 years:

Toddlers love to learn about Jesus. Although they may have a short attention span, they still learn a lesson every week in the toddler room. It is amazing to watch the four leaders and their volunteers as they teach a bible story and the eyes of the toddlers light up! Each week is based on one of these three things: God loves me, God made me, Jesus wants to be my forever friend. By repeating these themes over and over again, toddlers will be filled with some pretty awesome concepts at a very young age.

Toddler Room Coordinator: Sara Hall

Preschool Room — 3 1/2-Starting kindergarten:

This is where our program becomes very intentional and structured. Every game, craft, song, story and free time is based around the bible story of the day. This is a fun class filled with three leaders and many volunteers who are dedicated to making Sunday a God filled experience. The same curriculum that is used in the toddler room is used in the preschool room, only it is age appropriate. Each week is based on one of these three things: God loves me, God made me, Jesus wants to be my forever friend. By repeating these themes over and over again, pre schoolers will be filled with some pretty awesome concepts to take them through each week and life.

Elementary Room — kindergarten-5th Grade:

Parents and children learning about Jesus together. We send home materials EVERY WEEK for our parents so that they can reinforce what was taught at church and grow in Christ as a family. We want God to be a part of every day, not just Sunday. Every Sunday the bible story will be based off of one of the following values that elementary kids need to know:

"I need to make the wise choice.
I can trust God no matter what.
I should treat others the way I want to be treated."

This easy language can be reinforced by parents. Each Basic Truth is amplified by a weekly key concept and systematically taught over a three-year track. The curriculum includes 150 Bible stories. Every month a new virtue is introduced and the concept is taught biblically every week of the month.

Examples of virtues:

Humility — Putting others first by giving up what you think you deserve.
Kindness — Showing others that they are valuable by how you treat them.
Joy — Finding a way to be happy even when things don’t go your way.
Service — Lending a hand to help someone else.
