Promiseland on Sunday Mornings
Church for Children
Our children’s programs are offered at all three services on Sundays; 8:30, 10:00 and 11:30 am. Sunday school is offered for children newborn through 5th grade.
We want your children to experience the Person and Character of Jesus Christ. To do that, we have carefully developed curriculum for all ages, 2 year-olds through fifth grade. Your children will experience Christ through stories, crafts, song and small group experiences designed to introduce them to our Savior. Expect a lot fun and learning!
Safety is a top priority every day of the week in Promiseland. Our teachers and all volunteers undergo a background check and training. They also have a heart for serving children. Check-in/out procedures are enforced in every setting.

Twos
Young children love lots of hands-on activities. They don't like to sit still very long, and they sometimes experience a little separation anxiety. Our Pre-elementary teachers and helpers are there to make sure that Sunday mornings are fun and stress-free, with music and age-appropriate crafts and activities. You're never to little to learn about Jesus. Classes are kept small to ensure lots of care and attention.
Our curriculum for two year olds teaches the basic understanding of God. Our lessons included Creation, Noah's Ark, and how to be a friend to Jesus. We incorporate music and crafts to enhance the curriculum.
Threes, Fours, Fives and Kindergarten
These formative ages of childhood are important. The world is a big place with so much to do and see. Let coming to church be a regular part of life's great adventure. We believe church can be one of your child's favorite places and we strive to make it so! Children have an appetite for learning, and our fun curriculum will have them doing just that. Class sizes are small enough for everyone to get the attention they need.
- The Gospel Light curriculum includes fun activity centers, arts and crafts, Bible story time and group time. We encourage our parents to continue our weekly lessons at home by providing a take home page featuring the Bible story and memory verse; these are available each semester. Each week color sheets are handed out; these feature discussion questions for you to review with your children.
- The weekly craft is designed to help the children apply the Bible story to something tangible they can take home to share with their parents.
- We have a music team that rotates to the classrooms and presents an interactive time of music worship for the children.
- A snack and water will be provided during all three services. We are a peanut free environment and serve only animal crackers, cheerios and pretzels. Please do not bring snacks from home. Allergy Alert stickers are available for your child.
First and Second Grade
Excitement is high in the first and second grade department every Sunday. Affectionately known as the "Rainbow Room," the facility for this age group is colorful and creative. It's just the right backdrop for great adventures into the Bible. Children meet in a large group for music and teaching and then break into smaller groups where leaders (shepherds) guide them through a more focused exploration of God's Word. This group has so much fun they never want to leave!
3rd, 4th and 5th
Join us upstairs in the Attic for an exciting morning of Bible-based learning, real worship and lots of fun! Music is geared to lead the children into a sincere worship time, while also putting a 'song in their heart' that will carry them through life. This age group is divided into boys' and girls' groups to facilitate learning and to ensure effective group sizes. The lessons for each Sunday are carefully written to peak the kids' interest and to instill a real desire to follow Christ fully. This age is where important groundwork is laid to prepare kids for the preteen years. Even though the lessons are crammed full of Biblical truth, the element of fun is never lost!
Special Needs
We welcome your special needs child, and have caring volunteers who will ensure your child gets the most out of coming to church, in a safe, loving environment. A class is offered at 10 am every Sunday.
Our Special Needs class is led by a staff of dedicated and caring volunteers whose mission is to embrace children and youth with special needs as well as their families, by providing them with a loving, safe, Christ-centered environment. Children are surrounded and cared for by a staff that is committed, not just to serving them, but to teaching, equipping and empowering them to become fully devoted followers of Christ and vital members of the church body.
Extension Class
Promiseland is excited to announce the return of Extension Class!
Extension is for those parents who are serving one service and attending another, the Extension Class is designed to give your child an alternative to attending their regular class twice. It meets during the 10:00 am service in the Outback (Portable 1) and is available for children in K-5th grade. It is a laid-back time to color, draw, play games, and have a snack. If you have any questions please contact Chris Phifer at 972.547.7062 or .
