Welcome to the Children's Ministry page! At Living Hope, whenever there is a worship service on Sundays or Wednesdays, there will be something exciting planned for your children. So what constitutes a "child"at LH? All children ages birth through sixth grade. Below is a description of the different activities we offer for our children. We always need help, so if you have a heart for children's ministry, we've listed places you can serve.
What time is it? ToolTime! That's right—it's time for your kids' favorite teachers to help them know how to use all the tools God has given them to be all they can be for God. From 8 to 8:45 on Sunday mornings, the kids meet downstairs for some terrific discipleship time with some crazy teachers.
Places You Can Serve: Help with the classes as needed. This will also train you to teach in other areas of Children's Ministry.
At one point in the Sunday morning worship service, Pastor Butch will invite the kids down to the front, and he will teach them a short lesson. Your child is welcome to participate. After he is done, he will dismiss them to attend Children’s Worship.
During our worship service, we offer Children's Worship for children K-6. The children are taught how we can worship our most Holy and Precious God through skits, music, and the study of His Word. Basically, it's church on the kids' level.
Places You Can Serve: We are looking for individuals to help out so we can break into small groups after the kids are through with the lesson portion, to make sure they really understand the main point of the lesson.
Wednesday nights during the school year, we have AWANA, which is a program where kids memorize Scripture and have a blast learning about the Bible. Your child can join in at any time during the year. While you are attending one of our discipleship classes, your kids will be downstairs learning and growing as well. You can learn more about the AWANA program at www.awana.org.
Places You Can Serve: Every area of AWANA needs volunteers.
WARNING! This is not your everyday VBS. Here at LHBC, we offer more of a summer camp. VBS is usually held one of the first two weeks in June. From 8 a.m. until 12 p.m., we get the kids involved in everything from worship to water slides. Our primary goal here is, of course, to teach the kids about God in a fun and creative way. The skits are terrific, the games are fantastic, and the teaching is phenomenal.
Every year, we have one last summer getaway for the kids before they go back to school. Surrounded by nature, the kids can swim, play, worship, and learn so much about the nature of our wonderful Lord. Camp is usually held somewhere between the last two weeks of July and the first week of August, depending upon which session we attend.
