Welcome to DSCC's Children's Ministry!

 

Through this ministry we seek to see our children "Grow In God." We have a passion for reaching children with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and our teachers are committed to the Word of God and to serving Christ.   The Children's Ministry volunteers who serve with us have been screened through a national background check.

Opportunities to Serve


Little Sprouts (Nursery and Preschoolers)


NURSERY

Many loving arms are waiting to minister to your baby in our excellent Nursery!  Supplied with everything a little one may need to be comfortable and nurtured, you'll find the following:

Nursery Director: Sharon Stewart


Preschool

Our preschoolers are known as "Little Sprouts." Our goal is to influence your child's heart to serve the Lord Jesus Christ. We are not merely "babysitters"; we are Teachers, Helpers, and Caregivers. All of our volunteers in this ministry are serving the Lord by helping to express the love of Christ to your child and family.

While in this ministry, your child will be exposed to Bible learning and loving others in the body of Christ. We utilize the Learning Center approach to reach all styles of learners while communicating the Bible Point of the Day.

We want to assure you that we do everything possible to ensure your child will be in a safe and caring atmosphere.

The children are in age appropriate classes where they are taught by loving, carefully screened teachers. The teachers tell them Bible stories, put on puppet shows, help them work on crafts, play lesson-oriented games, and sing children's worship songs. Our goal is that each child leaves feeling loved and cared for and they start to understand that Jesus loves them. Each class focuses on a Bible Point or Story.  Preschool Director: Brienne McDonald

8:00am - "Joyful Noise" is a preschool class utilizing a  music-based curriculum.  Seasonal performances in "big church" are a treat for the children to share the songs they've been learning and practicing.

9:30, 11am and 5pm - Age appropriate Sunday School classes offered.


THRIVE Elementary (Kindergarten through 4th grade)

 Every week, we have a mission to disciple your child and teach him/her God's truths.   More importantly, we want your child to hear the Gospel message and ultimately come to know Jesus as his/her personal Savior.  He/She might also participate in crafts, games, or activities that help to reinforce the lesson. They will learn to use a Bible to look up verses, encounter exciting object lessons or experiments, they might see puppet skits, and even participate in an active worship time. All of our volunteers serving in this ministry are serving the Lord by helping to express the love of Christ to your child and your family. We strive to assist you in teaching your children about Christ's love and the ultimate sacrifice he made for us.

9:30am and 11:00am Services - During our two services, children are taught in age appropriate classes where they have loving teachers who show children how to open the Bible and find out what God's word can teach us about our daily lives. We teach kids to go deep into the Bible to seek out God's truth. We strive to make the Word of God something that all children can understand and begin to live out.

5:00pm - Elementary children ages K-4 meet together for Children's Church.  

Curriculum used:  Group Hand's On, David C. Cook, Discipleland, Gospel Light.


  Kids's Choir   

 

~ Kid's Choir will resume September 26th. ~
The DSCC Kids Choir meets during the 8:00am service every Sunday during the school year.  This is an excellent opportunity for elementary- aged students (Kindergarten through 4th grade) to strengthen their vocal and choral music skills as well as rehearse and perform age appropriate choral music – all with the express purpose of praising God through song and scripture.  Coordinator: Geoff Hutter


Special Needs


We would consider it a privilege to partner with your child during Sunday services to ensure (s)he has a meaningful experience with us.   Our Special Needs "buddies" will sit with and minister to your child in an appropriate age class or in a more quiet environment while you relax and enjoy worship service.  Please contact our Special Needs Coordinator, Melody Shingler, to plan your visit! 

NOTE: We kindly request that you contact our SN Coordinator PRIOR to visiting our  church to enable us to plan adequately for your child's needs.  Thank you so much!
