Well Kids

The Well Kids exists to make disciples (Matthew 28:19), encourage the children to come to Jesus (Matthew 19:14), and to support, encourage and edify families in the body. Our vision at The Well is to make disciples, from the youngest to the most mature. Kids are a valued part of the Body of Christ and we desire to create a relevant and nurturing environment for them to know Jesus as their Savior and equip them to share Him with the world. We believe that parents are the most important influence in a child’s life, and our desire is to partner with parents in the child’s spiritual formation.  All children’s leaders have undergone a background check and have been trained by our Children’s Ministry Director.

EARLY CHILDHOOD 

Nursery, Preschool and Kindergarten classes will be offered weekly during corporate worship.


In our Early Childhood ministry, we strive to create the first building blocks of a strong, gospel-centered foundation for our children. We teach from the Scriptures and help parents proclaim to their kids who God is and what He has done in the person and work of Jesus Christ. During the service, we use play-based learning as we teach the Bible to the kids, using our curriculum: The Biggest Story.

Doors open for children in the Nursery and Toddler class at 9:45. Preschool children will join their families in the sanctuary for the opening songs and then be dismissed to join their teachers from the sanctuary. Please pick up your children from their classrooms following the service.

FAMILY RESOURCES

The Biggest Story Family Devotional
Our curriculum the Biggest Story offers a family devotion that follows alongside our Sunday lessons. We believe that a strong biblical foundation is built in the home through engagement outside of Sunday. This devotion works as a tool to guide parents and children through the bible bringing it to their level while teaching truth and the message of the gospel.

Recommended Bible storybooks
Bible storybooks are a great way to build foundational Biblical knowledge and encourage conversations about faith and life with your children.  The following Bible storybooks are among our favorites:  
  • Read and Share Bible by Gwen Ellis.
  • The Beginners Gospel Story Bible by Jared Kennedy
  • One Big Story Bible Storybook featuring the Gospel Project for Kids
  • The Jesus Storybook Bible by Sally Lloyd-Jones
  • The Biggest Story Bible Storybook by Kevin DeYoung

ELEMENTARY

Elementary (1-5th grade) meets each week during Sunday School.


In our Elementary ministry, we work to continue building up a strong, gospel-centered foundation for our children. Our hope is to partner with parents in the discipleship of their children with a combination of direct Biblical instruction in a classroom and welcoming children into the sanctuary for services. We believe that it is valuable for children to grow up seeing their parents and the whole body of Christ displaying their love and obedience to God in a worship service.

Elementary Sunday School
Elementary Class is offered each Sunday during Sunday School at 9 a.m. Elementary is going through the bible using our curriculum the biggest story. They have both large group teaching and small group time to discuss and engage in the Bible.  

Elementary during Corporate Worship
We value the ways kids may engage and learn from being in service. All kids 1-5tgh grade join us for corporate worship. We provide sermon note pages and activity sheets that provide kids with practical tools to help teach them how to engage and learn from the sermon even at a young age.
