Village Kids

Rooted in Love, Growing in Faith

At the Village Church, we are committed to helping each child take the first steps on a life-long journey with Jesus Christ. Our mission is to make the Village Kids (ages 6 weeks to 5th grade) a place where children can discover who God is through His stories in the Bible and grow in their personal relationship with Him.

In addition to the Village Kids’ Sunday morning programs, we have Kids’ Choir and Kids’ Bell Choir with musicals during the Christmas and Lenten seasons. We also offer family Mission Opportunities - times when groups of families come together to serve in the local community. Our largest community outreach, Vacation Bible School, has shared the Gospel with children in local communities for more than 20 years.

Sunday school is back in-person at only the 10:00 am worship service. There will be NO Kids’ Time. Check your child in directly to Sunday school at the tent outside the front of the church by the circle drive. Advance registration and a health check form are both required each week.

The nursery is a special place where babies and toddlers can learn, play, and grow in an environment created just for them. Caring staff and volunteers create a warm, loving atmosphere for little ones to enjoy while the adults attend services and other events.

The nursery is well-equipped with age-appropriate furniture, toys, books, and other supplies. It’s the perfect place to play with other kids, listen to a story, or cuddle in a rocking chair with a grown-up friend. There’s always something fun to do!

Each week in our 2’s and 3’s class, kids explore a Bible story through Buck Denver Asks... What's in the Bible?, a curriculum that engages kids and keeps them excited about what they are learning. Our volunteers and staff guide the class through a variety of fun activities and lessons that foster each child’s desire to be active, curious, and eager to explore. There is plenty to see and hear, and even more to do in our 2’s and 3’s class!

Kids are ready for our Pre-K & K class in their last year of preschool. Here kids encounter new challenges and adventures every day, while exploring the Bible in Sunday School. The 4’s and 5’s dive deeper into the Bible using the Buck Denver Asks... What's in the Bible? curriculum. The class includes group activities, exploration, and Bible stories as well as music. Each child takes home a one-page review, so parents and families can be part of the faith journey, further deepening their relationship with God.

In the Treetops, classes use Buck Denver Asks... What's in the Bible? - a curriculum that engages kids and families to grow together in faith. Each class starts with a large group activity, storytelling, Bible education, group discussion, and a focus on mission and prayer. The children are divided by age into smaller groups for special activities related to the lesson and Bible story of the day.

Experiences are created which help children make discoveries and help them take ownership of their faith. The Bible is presented as real, relevant, and packed with rich meaning that applies to their lives today. Children will move from knowing about the historical Jesus to knowing him personally, and grow in a relationship with him through fun, meaningful, interactive activities, and lessons. Each child takes home a one-page review so parents and families can continue their child's faith journey at home.

For more info about our upcoming serving events and activities, please see our parent Facebook page, as well as our youth Instagram page.

We help each one of our 6th - 12th grade youths to know, love, and follow Jesus.

Being a disciple of Jesus is a life-long endeavor, and our Christian faith shapes our values, influences our relationship choices, and changes how we live. Each youth is encouraged to discover how they can join God's mission in their everyday life. We believe our youth can reflect God’s goodness right where they are — at home, at school, or in their community.

We want our youths to experience authentic relationships with each other and with their mentors here. Together we'll have fun, challenge each other, support one another, and walk through both good times and tough times with one another.

Additionally, 8th Graders are invited to participate in Confirmation each year between January and April. As for our weekly programs and for further info, please see below. Contact us for more information about anything you'd like to know more about!

Marathon (Theology Group)

Marathon is for all Jr and Sr high youth, and meets every Tuesday and Thursday on Zoom from 5:00 pm to 5:30 pm. Theology is the study of God and His ways, so we commit these 20-30 minute calls to doing just that! Interested? Just email Ed to get involved in Marathon!

Adults

Through our adult spiritual growth ministries/opportunities, we seek to develop these three areas of faith:

Knowledge of God

Develop our knowledge of God: who he is, what he is like, what he has done for us, and what he expects from us.

Devotion to God

Develop devotion to God: we should love him, be in communication with him, listen to him, obey him, live like him, and participate in the body of Christ.

Service for God

Encourage service for God: using our spiritual gifts, modeling the life of Christ, serving in the body of Christ, and sharing our faith with those around us.
