X-treme Kidz Jr. Church: Our program is designed to offer Junior Church services to our elementary age children (K-5th grade).  The children in this group enjoy worship, strong Bible lessons and all varieties of media.  Everything we do is designed to teach them how to apply the Bible to their everyday lives.  Jr. Church takes place during each service.

Children’s Bible School Classes: Our Bible School classes offer individual, grade-level Bible studies.  These children spend time digging deep into God’s word.  Classes are offered during each service.

”Jump & Splash Children’s Baptism Class”: This class is for all children who have the desire to be baptized and their parents.  Miriam will explain what “salvation” is, and then talk about what it means to be baptized and why we are to be baptized.  This class is offered approximately twice a year, and we only ask that at least one parent attend the class with your child.

Children’s Baptism Birthday Celebration: This is a time for parents, friends, and relatives to get together and participate in the celebration of each child as they make their commitment into the family of our Lord Christ Jesus.  This evening will include birthday cake, balloons, music and gifts; each child will receive a “Birth Certificate” after their baptism.  Qualification for each child participating in this event – they MUST have attended the “Jump & Splash Children’s Baptism Class” first.

Parent/Baby Dedication: Shepherd prepares a special service for parents and their babies every year.  This is an opportunity to have the family prayed over and the child(ren) presented to the Lord.  The Parent/Baby Dedication is held annually in the spring.  The event will be publicized about 6 weeks prior. 

Winter Camp: Camp is a time for our 4th – 5th graders to spend quality and spiritually filled time in God’s country.  There will be time of worship, bible study, devotional, and of course free time.  This time will promise to be a life changing experience as children get a chance to leave their daily distractions and completely focus on God!
