CHILDREN’S MINISTRIES
Sunday School
What does Sunday School look like? Ask any one of the adults or children that attend our vibrant program, and each answer will be unique to the individual. For some, it is a place to share the knowledge and wisdom they have attained through their lifetime. For others, it is a way to understand the world around them and the God who created them. And still others would say it a place to connect with other people and to Christ. Our purpose for Sunday School is to reach the needs of people, minister to class members, teach the Word of God to equip them as disciples of Christ, and help find a place of service so they can grow in their faith. Come and join us!
Nursery
All nursery workers have ACT 33 (Child Abuse History) and ACT 34 (Criminal Record Check) clearances. The nursery is available during the Sunday School hour (9-10AM in room 110) and the Worship Service hour (10:30-11:30AM in room 205.)
Youth
Each Sunday evening, students get to participate in fun activities, uplifting worship, Biblical challenges, and Cre8ive Discipleship. Bible lessons are taught in such a way that every teen gets to participate and learn. Sunday School, Youth Praise Band, and community service and outreach programs are designed to give each youth the best possible opportunities for growth, and the positive experiences needed as they approach adulthood.
Basketball
Each January-March our Youth Basketball Program attracts approximately 200 community children from K-8th grades. With a family-friendly schedule and atmosphere, CMA Basketball is great fun for all area kids. Our goal is to acquaint youngsters with the basics of basketball while helping them learn life lessons through positive encouragement. Players experience skill-building instruction, regular season play, and exciting playoff action. The Half-Time Huddle Program allows these children to hear the gospel on a weekly basis, and the Basketball Banquet guest speaker shares his/her testimony with hundreds of community parents, grandparents and children.
Rainbow Express Preschool
Rainbow Express Preschool is an exciting “first-time” educational experience designed to creatively combine play and learning through reading and discovery. We shower the children with God’s love and prepare them to step into Kindergarten with appropriate, age level social and academic skills.
