Children's Ministry at Nichols Street 

At Nichols Street, our Kids (infant through 4th grade) experience a safe, age-appropriate environment where they learn about Jesus in a creative and relevant way. We seek to prepare children for a life of discipleship by teaching them that God loves them and wants a relationship with them.

We believe that parents and families should be the primary shapers of faith as Deuteronomy 6:7-8 teaches: " These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up." We offer the following classes to help you in your journey of shaping the faith of your children.

Nursery:
We have an unattended nursery available for use during worship.

Cradle Roll -
Children have the ability to learn at a very young age.  As soon as a child can sit up they can begin attending our Cradle Roll class.  They stay in this class till the age of 2.  In this class, children learn that God made everything and that God loves them.

Toddler Bible Class:
Children ages 2 & 3 have fun while learning the fundamental stories of the Bible to cultivate a relationship with their peers and teachers and most importantly they will have solid building blocks for their faith’s foundation. They will go through the Bible twice during their time in this class.

Pre-K & Kinder Bible Class:
Children in preschool and kindergarten will begin their journey diving deeper into God’s Word. In this class, students will take their first steps as we go through a 3-year curriculum exploring the expanse of the Bible. For more information on the Gospel Project Curriculum scroll below.

Elementary Bible Class:
1st - 3rd grade classes open up the Bible to discover the events in the Bible as they continue their journey through our Gospel Project curriculum. For more information on the Gospel Project Curriculum scroll below.

Your First Visit

Here's what to expect when visiting Nichols Street Children's Ministry for the first time.

When entering the church building there are two drive-throughs at the front of the building. Each sets of doors enter into a foyer with directions to the rooms on the walls. On Sunday mornings kids will meet in the Children's Wing and on Wednesday nights, our children meet in our Bible Hour room. Both areas are directed on the foyer walls. If you have any questions, please ask a Church member, we are more than happy to help you find your class!

Once you get to you child's class, check them in and meet their teacher. It's always good to allow the teacher to know who will be picking up and dropping off the child so we can provide a safe environment for your child.


In our Children’s Ministry we are studying the Gospel Project for Kids curriculum.

This Quarter we are in Gospel Project For Kids Volume 9 which covers Units 25, 26, and 27

UNIT 25:

Description:
