The Garden Children’s ministry exists to lead children in a growing relationship with God and His Church.
Planting…
Through Sunday School classes, children are taught the Word of God (9:15 Sunday mornings)
Through REALKids, children memorize scripture and earn “Bible Bucks” to purchase items for local & international ministries (6:30 Wednesday evenings)
Cultivating…
Through partnering with parents, children are guided into solid relationships with God, His Church, and the world (available resources include our Robin’s Nest Resource Room, take home papers, and our weekly Garden email)
Through The Journey class, children 3rd grade & older understand what it means to make a commitment to Christ & His Church, specifically through baptism.
Through holding occasional special events & retreats, children’s relationships with one another & with adult mentors are strengthened. (Click here for our latest event info) [that would be SuperStart]
Harvesting…
Through meaningful & relevant worship in God’s Greenhouse (10:30 Sunday mornings)
Through service opportunities (our current opportunity is for 5/6th grade girls on 2nd Sunday of each month)
Through partnering with other Hill n Dale ministries
