At The Stone Church, we believe that children matter to God and that God should matter to children. In The Stone Quarry (Kid’s Ministry), we want to create an atmosphere where kids say two things:
“That was fun!” –We believe that children should enjoy church, not simply endure it.
“I am learning about God!” –We will teach children the Bible in creative and engaging ways that they will remember, understand, and apply to their lives.
Age divisions:
The Pebbles: Birth- Pre-K
The Rocks: K - 1st grade
The Boulders: 2nd - 5th grades
The Pebbles (6 weeks-PreK)
The Pebbles is our weekly environment where your Infants through Pre- K age children hear a story about God and engage in activities to help illustrate the story. Our lesson includes a well organized curriculum produced by Life Church that includes different activities each week such as a video supplement, games, art, as well as a snack and time to just play and enjoy being a kid!
The Rocks (K-1st grade)
We believe that the Bible should never be boring, and we want our kids to see how God’s Word fits into their lives in engaging ways. We use the Jesus Storybook Bible curriculum which is written by Sally Lloyd Jones. This curriculum tells stories from the Bible on a level our kids will understand and incorporates fun games and activities to hide God’s Word in their hearts. A weekly handout is sent home with kids each time to further their discussion of the weekly Bible story. Weather permitting they will have play time at our "Crush and Run" playground.
The Boulders (2nd - 5th grades)
After check-in each week, the Boulders join the Rocks in their room until time to participate in worship with the adults. This gives them an opportunity to observe their parents and others as they engage with the Lord through worship; then, they go to the Outback for lessons from LifeWay's Gospel Project curriculum. They will read the Bible each week to see how the whole story fits together and how all of God's Word points to Jesus and our need for a Savior.
