Welcome to Early Childhood Ministries!  I am so glad that you have stopped in to check out the ministries we offer for families of Birth – Kindergarten children.  Whether your child is currently in our ministry or you are browsing to find out more about what is offered for this age group, welcome!  Early Childhood is made up of our Baby & Toddler Department (birth-2 ½yrs) and our Preschool & Kindergarten Department (2 1/2yrs-K).  Children this age are full of discovery and eager to learn, which makes our classes and time together even more exciting.  We believe that no child is too young to learn about God’s love.  From our youngest class up to Kindergarten, we focus on the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of kids by offering safe, loving, and prayer-saturated environments with hands-on activities and character development lessons that are appropriate for their age level. 

 

Please take a minute to browse our website.  You will find more detailed information on the different age levels along with ministry brochures that include programming and events.  Despite the ministries we offer here on campus for your child, we believe that the most influential person in a child’s life is YOU, the parent.  It is our desire to partner with you as we help children experience the love of Christ.  Check out our “Parents” tab and find some of our resources that we offer to reinforce your child’s learning at home as well as fun opportunities to serve as a family. 

 

We count it a privilege to be a part of your child’s life and feel blessed that you have entrusted your child to our ministry.  If you have any questions, please email me or call me at the church office, 480-722-0700.

Take this opportunity to speak to your children about the many blessings they have and ways that, as a family, you can be a blessing to others.  See the flier below and www.themercyproject.com  for more ways your family can be involved this Spring.
