Welcome! We are glad you are here! You will find all things related to children and family ministry at Weaverland, from what we offer on a Sunday morning to the curriculum we use, from what to do as a first time guest to how you can get connected and serve the next generation.
To see hearts and minds of the next generation transformed and ignited as they encounter the Gospel of Jesus
We are excited to have you worship with us here at Weaverland! If you have children, you may be curious to know more about how Sunday mornings look in regards to children's ministry offerings.
During each worship service, a staffed nursery is available for infants & toddlers through age two. Additionally, there are individual rooms with cribs for napping, supervised by the nursery staff, and can also be used for nursing and diaper changes.
Changing tables, diapers and wipes are available for your convenience along with a kid-friendly bathroom.
Starting on the Sunday before or after they turn two, children are invited to join Sunday School! This class is geared for introducing two-year-old's to the structure of Sunday School while incorporating simple Bible lessons and activities from the Gospel Light curriculum into their time together!
A highly anticipated event in our year is child dedication, when parents can take time to publicly affirm their commitment to raise their children in the ways of the Lord and seek to see Him glorified through their life!
Weaverland's children's ministry has Sunday School classes for each age and grade from age two to 6th grade. Each class caters to the developmental stage of the age to encourage spiritual growth and understanding of Biblical truth at all ages! The threes to 3rd grade Sunday School classes use the Gospel Project curriculum from Lifeway, which emphasizes the chronology of the Bible, God's redemptive story, and the evidence of Gospel on every page of Scripture!
In addition to Sunday School, children's church is offered during both worship services on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of each month. Unlike Sunday School, SPARK combines age groups for a large-group learning time.
| SPARK Jr: 3s to Kindergarten | SPARK: 1st to 3rd Grade |
Look for the dismissal slide to be posted on the screen after the worship set to indicate the beginning of SPARK.
Throughout the year, Weaverland offers a variety of events geared towards the preschool and elementary age groups! Keep your eye on the calendar, and save these dates!
The preteen years are a unique season of life--many transitions and discovering what it looks like to live out a personal relationship with our Savior Jesus. We are glad to have a vibrant ministry for 4th to 6th grade students on both Sundays and Wednesdays throughout the year!
Kindle Sunday School class consists of 4th to 6th graders, but the two classes are gender-specific to allow for honest conversations and deep relationships to form! Both the boys' and girls' classes are using the Forged curriculum from LifeWay, building on the truths of 1 Peter 1:7, "So that the proven character of your faith--more valuable than gold which, though perishable, is refined by fire--may result in praise, glory and honors at the revelation of Jesus Christ." "Forged" places an emphasis on refining our faith and a biblical understanding regarding various theological points and applicable topics.
A ministry unique to Weaverland is our Wednesday night preteen ministry, where the name Kindle46 originated! While there are a handful of combined events throughout the course of the school year, Kindle nights are designed for the boys and girls to meet separately and engage in activities and devotions that cater to their stage and interests. Most Wednesdays carry a similar schedule though special outings to local businesses or ministries make for exceptions. A regular Kindle night includes a devotional, time with small groups, followed by the nights planned activity and a snack.
