Children
Harris Creek Children's Ministry seeks to disciple children by teaching them to love God passionately, love others unconditionally, and serve the world energetically. This discipleship process will continue as the children exhibit these characteristics and transition to the Youth Ministry.
If you have any questions concerning our children's ministry, please contact Emily Gist.
Navig8: Discipleship and Worship for Kids
Who: Infants – 6th Graders
When: Sundays @ 9 and 10:30 am
What: Preschoolers (infants through pre-kindergarten) participate in hands-on activities, play games, sing songs, and hear Bible stories each week that relate to three main truths: God made me, God loves me, and Jesus wants to be my friend forever. Each week preschoolers are getting their first look at who God is, and learning what that means for their lives.
Elementary kids (kindergarten through 6th grade) are placed in small groups by age and gender to build relationships and navigate through Scripture and life. In large group, they spend time in worship and experience a Bible story through a live skit, multi-media, and audience participation, then head to small group to figure out how it relates to their lives today. Each week's stories and lessons relate back to three basic truths: I need to make the wise choice, I can trust God no matter what, and I should treat others the way I want to be treated.
Choir
Who: Kindergartners – 4th Graders
When: Wednesdays @ 6 pm (September through December)
What: Choir serves as another opportunity for children to learn about God. Children explore Scripture and Biblical concepts through music and songs. The kids learn and prepare for a musical they put on each December.
Bible Drill
Who: 4th – 6th Graders
When: Wednesdays @ 6 pm (November through April)
What: Students meet on Wednesday nights from November through April to dive deeper into the Bible; they will memorize 25 key verses, 10 key passages, as well as become as familiar with the Bible as the back of their hand. The verses and passages students memorize teach them who God is, how we grow as His people, and how we live out our faith as believers in the world. Students have opportunities to compete at the church, associational, and state levels.
