NURSERIES
Infant Nursery
Our Nursery manager and volunteers from our church family care for these precious infants up until their first birthday. Adult visitors and members can worship the Lord in comfort knowing that your children are lovingly cared for in a fully-equipped, brightly lit and warmly decorated nursery. An extra measure of security is provided by our electronic paging system that can quietly and quickly summon parents should the need arise.
Toddler Nursery
During Sunday School the pre-toddlers and toddlers are taught by a group of dedicated and loving church member volunteers. These volunteers make sure that things run smoothly for the children during our morning and evening worship services. Lively activities and songs channel energy and help the children learn to play together and to share with others.
SUNDAY SCHOOL
The Children's Sunday School ministry is for kids ages three through teens and takes place each Sunday morning beginning at 9:00 A.M. Dedicated volunteers teach your children using age appropriate Christ centered materials. In the pre-school classes the children color lesson appropriate pictures and are taught using illustrated Bible stories. In the school age classes the children are taught using exciting Bible lessons with workbooks that allow each child to participate. Our children create season appropriate crafts to take home.
CHILDREN'S CHURCHES
Pre-School Church
Pre-School Church for children ages 3 - 5 is held each Sunday during morning worship service. Our volunteers teach the children using age appropriate materials, crafts and the Central Baptist Puppet Ministry.
Children's Church
Children's Church is held during the morning worship service. The program is directed by Doug and Sharron Westbrook who take an active part in each Sunday's program. The children are taught through Bible lessons that are reinforced each week by practical life applications through object lessons, games, songs, costumed character skits and our puppet ministry. Our philosophy is to allow the children to participate and have fun while learning the life skills taught in God's Word. The first Sunday of each month is Family Day and the school age children attend the morning Worship Service with their parents or guardians.
AWANA CLUBS
A.W.A.N.A. (Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed) is a ministry that provides a tome for games and competition followed by Bible memorization. The key verse for AWANA is II Timothy 2:15, "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." We have clubs for children ages 3 through 8th Grade. Clubs start at 6:00 P.M. and conclude at 7:30 P.M. each Sunday evening during the school year. These times coincide with the Sunday evening services of the church.
KIDS REJOICE CHOIR
Faithfully led by Ralph and Myrna Quinones along with numerous volunteers, this choir gives an opportunity for kids of all ages to lift their voices to the Lord in song. The first Sunday of each month is Family Day and during the morning service, Kids Rejoice performs songs to the delight of the entire congregation. Twice a year our children perform a musical drama. These programs are a wonderful treat and a special blessing for members and visitors alike. All programs are based on Biblical truths that help the children understand and embrace the Word of God.
