CHILDREN’S MINISTRY

Children’s ministry goes beyond Sunday School at St. Timothy…it is sharing Jesus’ love and walking beside each parent to equip and encourage them to teach their child about God and to live a life pleasing in His eyes. 

  • Nursery Care during services for newborns through 36 months
  • Children’s Church during the Pastor’s Message in both worship service for children age 3 – 1st grade
  • Sunday School for children age 2 through 5th grade (nursery care for under 2)
  • Wednesday Night Pit Stop during the school year, including Zone 45 youth group for 4th & 5th graders
  • Summer events, such as Vacation Bible School
  • …and much, much more!
 
Children’s Church
St. Timothy is constantly looking for ways to support parents in your God given role as the primary spiritual educators of your family. We take very seriously Moses’ admonition in Deuteronomy 6:7-9 for parents to “Impress [the commandments] on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the door frames of your houses and on your gates.”
 
One way to help you grow in faith as a family is to experience worship together. However, we do offer Children’s Church during the pastors’ message at 10:45am worship. This way parents can have an opportunity to hear the sermon while their children learn in a more developmentally appropriate way.
 
Children are dismissed right before the Message and return to their parents immediately following the Message. 
Sunday School
Our Sunday School has children placed in classroom groups according to age and grade level; friends are always welcome on this incredible journey into faith!  
 
Sunday School Classes – Ages 2 years through 3rd graders meet in the Children’s Ministry Building (follow signs for Kids Zone) and 4th- 5th graders meet in upstairs Youth rooms above the office area (follow signs for Youth rooms)
 
Please use a check-in station to sign your children in then you can take your child to their room:
Ages 2-3 meet in Room 9
Ages 4 – 5 meet in Room 7
1st – 3rd Grade meets in the Big Room
4th and 5th graders meet in the Zone45 room updates in the Youth Area of the main Church Building
 
Nursery Care
We have loving caregivers available for children birth through 3 years old during worship services and for children birth through 2 years old during Sunday School/Adult Bible classes Sunday mornings. Childcare is also offered Wednesday evenings during Pit Stop, and for many other church activities.  
 
Pit Stop Wednesdays 
Pit Stop is a time to refuel during your crazy busy week. Eat dinner together as a family then the fun begins for every age!  Adult Bible studies, Choir, youth groups – oh my! Dinner starts at 5:30pm and classes and childcare run 6:15 – 7:15.
 
Zone 45 – Pit Stop           
Calling all 4th and 5th graders! A youth group JUST for you – and it rocks! Jesus had a knack for connecting eternal truths with everyday symbols His audience could touch, hear, and taste. At Zone45 will play games and learn about God through gizmos, gadgets, and snacks while digging into the Bible. What could be better than that? Look for us every Wednesday during the school year in the Zone 45 room upstairs in the youth room area.
 
Pit Stop for children under 4th grade             
Supervised care is provided for children birth thru 3rd grade in the Children’s Ministry building during Pit Stop.
