Student Ministries: Children

We have a wide range of age specific programs for children designed with the understanding that children need a spiritual framework for their lives too. Young people learn to experience God at their level, become equipped to pray, and learn to trust in God for themselves. All of our staff and volunteers working with minors go through a screening process, and are supervised to insure a safe and quality environment for them.

Here's what's available:

Nursing Moms Room: For moms who prefer to care for their infants themselves, we have a quiet and comfortable nursery located just off the auditorium that is perfect for you and your nursing baby. It’s outfitted with comfortable recliners, dim lights, and you can watch and listen to the Celebration through a one-way window.

Vineyard Nursery: A clean, comfortable, well staffed and well stocked nursery for birth through eighteen months, is right next to the sanctuary.  Available from ten minutes before each service until the end of the service.  A registration process insures that parents and guardians are matched with their children for pick up.

Vineyard Pre-School: Age appropriate classes for the young ones are well staffed and provide simple a safe and caring environment and simple lessons for the older pre-school children.  The rooms have age specific toys and activities and a beautiful underwater mural for the young ones. (Kindergarten is included in the pre-school program.)  Available from ten minutes before each service until the end of the service.  A registration process insures that parents and guardians are matched with their children for pick up.

Vineyard Student Ministries, Grades 1-4. Teaching methods and worship styles are specifically designed for and adapted to the capabilities of this age group! We employ a curriculum developed by the Willow Creek Assocation called Promiseland. With the help of our committed volunteers, Promiseland provides a safe environment where children can enjoy great learning and loving relationships from 1st through 4th grade. We believe that learning should be fun, so we create our own dramas and activities. This results in Bible lessons that are age-appropriate, interactive and relevant to today's children. Promiseland includes activity centers, large group dramas and small groups. Check in children at the Promiseland table in the south corridor (near the entrance/parking lot).
