Children’s Ministry

About

At River Road Church we value children as a unique creations and gifts from God.

Our children’s ministry offers opportunities for children and their families to become disciples of Jesus.

They learn to love God and love their neighbors as themselves by learning scripture and through fellowship, worshiping, serving, and singing.

Sunday School & Worship Care

Sunday School is provided for infants through 5th grade: infant (birth-2 years), Preschool 1 (2- and 3-year-olds), Preschool 2 (Pre-K & JK), K-Grade 2, and Grades 3-5.

Children in the infant through Preschool 2 class may stay in their same classroom during the worship hour. Kindergarten children have the option of joining the Preschool 2 class during worship or attend worship with their family.

Worship, Children's Time, & Children's Church

All children are invited to attend Worship, Children’s Time, and Children’s Church.

In our worship service, after the Scripture lessons are read, the Children’s Time is designed for our friends through the fifth grade to join together at the front of the Sanctuary for an interactive lesson just for them.

Just a bit later in the service, children in 1st through 3rd grades are invited to leave the Sanctuary for Children’s Church (though children of all ages are welcome to join). This is a time for children to worship in the chapel, lead songs, responsive readings, and pray. A message that follows the sermon theme in the Sanctuary worship service is delivered by the minister or leader.

TFC

Missions & Recreation

Each Sunday evening children age 4 through 5th grade participate in an hour and half of recreation, fellowship, and mission.

Children learn about CBF field personnel around the world who share God’s love and demonstrate how we are to love and care for others.
