Children's Sunday
School
Preschool children will
attend Sunday School in “Shepherd’s Fold” downstairs in
the north hallway. All children kindergarten through
sixth grade gather in the Sanctuary at 9:45 a.m. to
begin the children's Sunday School experience.
You will
find a Sunday School registration table in the lobby of
the Sanctuary. Your child will be registered and invited
to be seated with his or her age group for a joy-filled
opening. You will be informed of where to pick up your
child at 10:45 a.m.
Our children enjoy something we call "rotational Sunday
School". The same Bible Story is taught five Sundays in
a row through different media in different rooms. After
the grand opening, children will go by age groups to
their assigned room.
Every age group will have adult
"Shepherds" who stay with the group during the five-week
rotation. At registration, you will be given the room
number for picking up your child after Sunday School.

When your child enters King's Dominion (what we call our
Children's Ministry) he or she will experience one of
the following:
The Pasture Room - A drama room, with stage and
"hillside seating", where children experience the Bible
Story through theater.
The Anchor Room - Children learn the Bible Story through
games and exercises, which aid memory and application.
The Harvest Room - An arts, crafts and food room which
allows for creating or tasting something from the
Biblical Story.
The Morning Star Room - Computer stations help kids
learn the high-tech way!
The Vineyard Room - A news studio called TVN (True Vine
Network) is designed for children to "anchor the news".
They "broadcast" the Biblical Story, then watch
themselves on TV!
The Great Commission Room - A wall-sized map of the
world helps children discover the meaning of sharing the
love of Jesus in mission.
