Our mission is to provide opportunities for children and families to worship, 
engage with God’s Word, pray, serve, and have fun together.

Colbert Children’s Ministry

Our purpose is to give children the opportunity to know Jesus Christ and 
develop a relationship with Him, as Lord and Savior. Learn more about our programs below.

  • Sunday School

    Our Sunday morning education program for preschoolers through fifth graders takes place during the education hour (10:50 am - noon). Children are given the opportunity to learn about God and deepen connection with their church family. Each Sunday we move our bodies in play, sing together, share a snack, and engage in varied ways with a Bible lesson.

  • Children's Worship

    Taking place during the sermon and congregational prayer time of the worship service, children ages 3 through fifth grade are invited to join two adult volunteer leaders for an age-appropriate worship experience that includes listening to and responding to God’s Word.

  • Nursery

    Care is available for children up to four years old during the worship service and the education hour on Sunday mornings. Nursery care is also available during many of our special services and events.
