At that time Jesus said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.

Matthew 11:25

	On Sunday mornings we have a Sunday School Program from 9:00am – 9:50am for children Nursery – 6th grade. These classes are broken into small age groups to encourage a deeper understanding of the Bible, Jesus, and His teachings. Our volunteers use Faithweaver Bible Curriculum. Faithweaver’s goal is to weave faith in Jesus Christ into all areas of learner’s lives. Children's Church There are Children’s Church programs available to children Preschool (3 years old and potty trained) through 6th grade. The children start in the sanctuary for a time of worship together with their families and then are dismissed part way through the service for a time of teaching in their own classes. We use an exciting new curriculum for our Preschool – 3rd Grade classes called “KIDMO”. This is a media-driven curriculum that has exciting DVD’s to watch that teach important Bible lessons that build on different themes each quarter. The 4th – 6th grade class uses Gospel Light’s “The Edge” curriculum for pre-teens. Children's Drama Each year our Children’s Drama Team puts on a Christmas Musical each December as a part of River47’s All Church Sing-A-Long and a Palm Sunday Musical as well. Kids of all ages are invited to be a part of the cast and chorus! W.O.A.M Beginning in January and running through June, we have a mid-week program for kids 8 years old through 6th grade. This program is called “WOAM” which stands for Wednesdays – Once – A – Month! The kids will play games with Coach Joel, hear a Bible lesson, and sing worship songs with a live band! Nursery Our Nursery program is for all babies from birth – 3 years of age. We have a beautiful new facility for the babies and a great staff of volunteers who love working with our little ones. The older babies will have the chance to listen to a Bible story and sing some songs using Group Publishing’s Infant’s, Toddler’s and Two’s Bible Curriculum.
