Children's Education Ministry
Sunday School 9:00-10:00 aM
In-person Sunday school meets at 9:00-10:00 a.m. during the school year for preschool-1st grade (room 010), and grades 2-5 (room 007) in the parking lot level classrooms. Each room has a HEPA air filter. Masking is optional for teachers and children.
We are blessed to have wonderful Sunday School teachers who make bible stories come alive as they get to know each child. We hope children will feel at home, ask questions, and grow in their knowledge and love of God. Preschool and elementary classes use Sparkhouse’s “Spark” curriculum.
Worship 10:30 aM
Wiggly children of all ages are invited to participate in worship in the sanctuary at 10:30-11:30 a.m.. Children are invited to come to the front of the sanctuary early in the service for an age-appropriate message, after which they may return to their pew or young children may go to God’s Garden.
Children’s Bulletins are available near the sanctuary doors. Children’s books and Worship Bags (containing drawing materials and a small toy) are in the narthex outside the sanctuary. Feel free to use these resources during worship, and return them after the service.
Nursery & God's Garden
Nursery care is offered at 9:00 a.m. during Sunday school during the school year through worship at 10:30-11:30 a.m. for babies up to age 3. Please fill out a yellow sticker with contact information for each child. Nursery staff wear a mask and are vaccinated against COVID-19.
God’s Garden welcomes preschoolers and Kindergarteners for a time of nurture and supervised play during worship after the children’s message (around 10:40 am). Please fill out a sticker with contact information for each child. Children 3 and up are asked to wear a mask.
The nursery and preschool rooms can be found downstairs next to the elevator, or by entering from the parking lot door and turning left.
Two adults who have passed a background check, are masked and COVID-vaccinated provide care in rooms with HEPA air filters.
Family Fellowship & Service Events
The Children's Ministry hosts several fellowship events for the entire church-family during the year such as pumpkin carving, a gingerbread house decorating potluck dinner, game day, and Easter Egg Hunt. Check out the calendar to see upcoming events! Children help others by collecting food for the Blacksburg Interfaith Food Pantry. Join us as we share God's love with one another.

Our program is open Monday through Thursday mornings from 9:15 am to 12:15 pm. Children may register to attend one to four days a week, depending on needs of your family and child.
