Preschool Ministry
@ Awesome Adventure

Age appropriate:  2 through 5 years
Offered during 9:00 a.m. and 10:45 a.m. services

What we do.  Awesome Adventure Preschool offers young children an exciting, interactive ministry filled with age-appropriate activities.  Children are placed in their age-appropriate class on the first Sunday in September and remain in the same class for the entire year.

How we do it.  Volunteers who know and love Jesus teach for nine months, September through May, so children are welcomed and taught each week by those with whom they have developed a loving relationship.  Using DiscipleLand curriculum:

• two and three-year-olds learn about the life of Jesus and what makes him so special,
• four year olds experience the major stories and people of the Old Testament and the important lessons they provide for us,
• five-year-olds explore the New Testament and learn how Jesus’ disciples and they themselves can serve Jesus,
• and preschoolers bring home lesson pages and lots of projects so parents are equipped to continue the Bible teaching at home with their children.

Our facility. Awesome Adventure's secure preschool area is located on the upper level of the church, outside the sanctuary.  It is an exciting, interactive environment for children.  Each classroom is identified by a jungle animal for easy recognition.  Each room contains plenty of tables, child-sized chairs, supplies, puppets, and toys for a wide variety of learning activities that bring lessons to life. Bathrooms with child-sized toilets are connected to each room so children are never left unattended. 

• 2 years old: Giraffe, Zebra, and Tiger Cub classes (upper level)
• 3 year olds: Elephant and Ostrich classes (upper level)
• 4 year olds: Gazelle and Cheetah classes (upper level)
• 5 year olds: Aardvark and Walrus classes (located in the elementary wing on the lower level)
