Kids Own Worship

is a six week training class, offered during the last half of worship starting the Sunday after labor day each year for children four years through kindergarten on the various elements of worship and why we do what we do. The curriculum used is "The Way of the Child" written by Wynn McGregor and published by Upper Room Books. Children will attend worship with their parents and then be dismissed at a specified time for KidsOwn Worship.
empowers parents to be active participants in teaching their children to worship by providing worship tools to help children participate in the adult corporate worship setting—not to be entertained but to worship. The Family Booklet helps support families and gives parents tools to use as they talk to children about spiritual matters. The booklet will also help families integrate spiritual awareness into their daily lives. It explains to parents what is happening
desires to be more inclusive of our children as worship leaders. Our staff works toward incorporating our children as worship leaders by enlisting them to be used as ushers, greeters, prayer leaders, music leaders and scripture readers in our services more frequently. This will help children learn by example that they are a significant part of God's kingdom and His covenant congregation.
helps parents and our congregation need to understand what children miss when they are not a part of the corporate worship setting:
- Participation or observation of communion.
- The covenant church's response to individuals making commitments to Christ for the first time.
- Baptisms.
- Parents and significant other adult role models modeling behaviors such as giving an offering, praying, reading the Bible, worshipping through music.
- Participating with the rest of the corporate church in praying for one another and our church body.
-
The challenge to respond to God's Spirit every week from the worship they have participated in and the message they have heard
