Ministries for Children at Third Church
All of the programs for our children are
designed to draw your child into a real and vital relationship with the
Lord Jesus Christ. From the loving care in the nursery, the Bible
stories taught in the preschool and elementary school, to the deeper
Biblical truths taught in the middle and high school, your child will
enjoy learning the truth and values found in God's Word.
Nursery
Nursery care is provided for both infants and toddlers through
age 3 during the morning and evening worship services. It
is also available during the Women’s RENEW Bible Study which meets every
other Wednesday morning, September through May.
The nursery also offers the
Little Lambs program for children ages 2 – 3 during the morning
services. This is a time of stories and singing for those children who
are ready for a chance to participate in worship.
Children and Worship
Children
and Worship is a worship service designed for children ages 3 years old
through kindergarten.
During the morning worship services the children are dismissed to meet
in the Children's Worship Center where they will
hear God's Word and learn to respond in faith and service to the Lord.
This ministry is held from September through June.
