Kindergarten to 2nd Grade

Sunday School - 10:00 am

A place where kids beg to come!

The Elementary classroom is located in the Children’s Ministry area next to the playground and is designed for children in Kindergarten to 5th Grade. The children are broken into three groups K and 1st graders, 2nd and 3rd graders, and 4th and 5th graders.

Each week children participate in our Elevate worship service in a media-rich classroom designed as a small theatre. It is comes complete with a stage, curtains, movie projection system, sound system and lights that pulsate with the music as kids worship.

Children are involved in every aspect of this creative and fun service through songs, games, drama and weekly Bible lesson, small groups, as well through offering and prayer. Each lesson is designed so children can apply it to their daily lives.

At the end of the service a Parent Flyer is provided with a summary of what your child learned during the worship service along with some ideas for how to incorporated the lesson into your child’s daily life.

This is a 100% CAN’T MISS EVENT for elementary age children and typically takes place in late January or early February each year. This weekend camp takes place right here in Fountain Hills and is a lifetime lasting memory for every child who attends.

Children and their families are amazed as they are led by MrJ through what can only be described as “creative musical drama-filled worship service” with his incredible cast members.

Children dig into their Bibles as they follow along with MrJ and his signature “Four 1’s” technique.

º Read 1 Chapter.
º Write 1 Verse.
º Write 1 Prayer.
º Share with 1 Person.

In addition to the worship services kids have a day at the park where they play imaginative camp-inspired games. On Saturday afternoon, children are treated to lunch with MrJ and his entire cast while still in costume. This is a great time for pictures and autographs with the cast members. The entire family is invited to the final session Sunday morning which is performed for the entire congregation.
