Preschool Ministry

Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me.” Matthew 19:14

Take the First Steps

More “firsts” occur during the preschool years than any other time in a child’s life: first smile, first time to crawl, first steps, first tooth, first loose tooth, and many more.

It is our desire to walk with your preschooler as they take their First Steps toward Jesus. We want to partner with you and help make those first impressions of faith. Together, we can help lay a strong foundation of who God is so, when the time is right, your child will be ready to make the decisions to follow Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

Preschool Worship

Preschool Worship

WeeWorship allows preschoolers to worship in the way they do best-through movement. Kids sing songs with motions, watch Bible Stories, participate in hands-on activities, play interactive games, and learn Bible skills. Each activity and song goes along with the Bible truth they are learning that day in WeeWorship and Sunday School.

Group Bible Study

Group Bible Study

Group Bible Studies give preschoolers a small group experience to learn God’s Word on their age level. As kids grow, their understanding of foundational truths grows with them. From babies to preteens, our curriculum, Bible Studies for Life, is designed around the way kids learn best. This ensures every kid has a transformative, age-appropriate encounter with God’s Word.

KidsPraise is the Preschool Music Ministry. Each week, preschoolers sing great songs, learn hip moves, play fun music games, and discover new instruments. They also may sing at various times throughout the year. These events provide the children an opportunity to use their talents to praise the Lord.

Opportunities to Serve

The Childhood Ministry is a volunteer-based ministry that revolves around parent participation. There are many opportunities for service with the largest need on Sunday mornings during the Worship Services. Serving in the Preschool Ministry is a wonderful blessing. If you are interested, please contact the Children’s Ministry Office at 318-322-2782.

Volunteer Requirements:

  • A love for children.
  • A national security check and approval by our Children’s Team.
  • Volunteers ages 11-15 must serve in classrooms of children who are at least 1 year old.
  • Two volunteers will always be placed in each room.

Family Dedication

Our Family Dedication service is a special event for parents of babies and/or any other age children to stand together before the church and commit themselves as parents to raise their children under the guidance of God and His Word.

Dedication services occur at different times throughout the year. Please contact the Children’s Ministry Office if you would like to participate in the Family Dedication. They will be glad to let you know of the next special service. Both parents are asked to participate in a one-hour class before being able to dedicate their child. This allows you, as a parent, to know and understand the commitment you are making to God.

Safety is Our Priority

A computerized Check-In System is provided for Preschoolers (Babies-Kindergarten). Parents will receive two labels: one name tag for the child and one for parents to use when picking up their child. Labels are cross-checked before the child is released.

Texting is our primary way to reach you if we need you during a service. We will send a message to the cell phone number that you write on your child’s sign in sheet. Please keep your phone on silent while in worship.

We use KIDCHECK Check-In System. You can download the app and create an account ahead of time to make your check-in experience quick and easy.
