Faith Formation for Kids and Families
Kids are a vital part of our church and represent the next generation of those who will shape our community’s future. We know that “it takes a village” to nurture a child’s growth and faith, which is why we offer a wide range of real-life discipleship experiences for children and our church family.
We welcome and enjoy interacting with kids at all Sunday gatherings. Included is a dedicated children’s message with Pr. Garrett. Coloring books, crayons, and small books for kids to read are always available, as well. The family-style meal of Brunch Church and the monthly service projects provide additional opportunities to build friendships with all ages.
Weekly Family Resources
In our weekly email, currently we are providing faith resources for families to utilize during our gatherings. These are from Illustrated Ministry and include a coloring page, questions about the lessons, and other fun activities. For copyright reasons, we cannot post post post post them on this page publicly.
2nd and 4th Sundays of Each Month
We are excited to host a short child-friendly activity as part of our worship gatherings on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of each month! This time will allow our kids to dig a little deeper into the day’s biblical teachings on their level. The children will be invited to participate following the children’s time in the worship service. Please let Pr. Garrett know if you have any questions, ideas, or would like to help.
Children’s Events
While children are invited to all our gatherings, we do plan additional events with them specifically in mind. These include Vacation Bible School, evening Parent’s Night Out, family-style picnics, service projects, and fellowships. We also partner with our Family Ministry at our Greenbriar Campus on special occasions to share in joint opportunities.
Vacation Bible School 2024!
We are looking forward to another exciting Vacation Bible School at our Greenbrier campus, July 29 - August 2. Kids will experience Camp Firelight! This will be a Summer Camp Adventure with God, with five wonderful days of songs, games, Bible stories, crafts, and much more. There is a suggested donation of $50 per child, which will help pay for all of the crafts and goodies for the week. Also, if anyone is interested in volunteering to help with VBS, please contact Deacon Alyssa.
Picnic in the Park Family Event
Save the date for our third annual Picnic in the Park event, on August 15-16, from 6:00pm-8:00pm at Meadow Glen Park in Aldie, VA. We'll start each evening with a family picnic dinner from 6:00-6:30pm. Then, we will have all sorts of activities for kids of all ages to rotate through such as games, Bible story, music, craft, service project, and dessert. Parents are encouraged to stay to share in refreshments, lawn games, and fellowship. Expect a wonderful event for the whole family. A sign-up form to register will be available as we get closer.
