Children's Ministries at St. Andrew's

Children's Ministries

St. Andrew’s Church welcomes all children and families. Our church mission is “To know Jesus Christ and make Him known as Savior and Lord”.

We also have a lighthouse theme and are a “guiding lighthouse and saving station to our community, nation and world”.

Sunday School

Sunday School is offered to all children ages 2 through 12th grade at 9:00 a.m. on Sunday mornings. Classes are taught by volunteers that love children and sharing the love of Jesus with them. All lessons are age appropriate, as we learn more about Jesus.

We offer classes for 2 & 3 year olds, Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten, 1st grade & 2nd grade, 3rd, 4th, & 5th grade and 6th – 12th grade.

Wee Church / Children’s Church

At the conclusion of the Children’s Chat during service, children are invited to attend Wee Church (age 2 to Pre Kindergarten) and Children’s Church (Kindergarten to 5th grade). They always have a Bible story and craft/activity to share with the children.

Nursery Care

Nursery is provided during Sunday School and Worship for newborns – 1 year olds.
We have Safe Sanctuary certified volunteers that love caring for young children.

Fall, Christmas and Easter Celebrations
Children are invited to join these celebrations in the gym and social hall during worship. We have a story, game, snack and craft. It is a fun time to focus on Jesus.

Worship Bags are available in the back of the sanctuary for children to use during worship. The bags have quiet, fun activities for the children.

We Are a Safe Sanctuary Facility

At St. Andrew’s we are serious about providing a safe environment for all persons, especially children and at-risk adults. We have developed a Safe Sanctuary Policy. You will notice that we have sign-in and sign-out procedures for children. Additionally, our staff and volunteers who supervise children have been trained in Safe Sanctuary policies.
