Children and Family Ministry

 

Children and Family Ministry is not just a program at Armstrong Chapel; it's the heartbeat of our community, a beacon of hope, and a foundation of faith for the next generation. We are passionately committed to nurturing the spiritual growth of our children and fostering a sense of belonging and love within our families. 

Our mission is to provide enriching and inspiring study; founded in God's word and fellowship opportunities that resonate with the unique needs of every age group.  We believe in the transformative power of community and the profound impact it has on the lives of our children. Together, we are building a legacy of faith, one child, one family, and one heart at a time. 

 

Our goal is to work alongside your family, to equip you to

help grow the faith of your child.

Children's Discipleship

the essence of Sunday School

Sunday School is foundational discipleship for people of all ages where they learn to think and act like Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Benefits of attending Sunday School

Attending Sunday School at ArmstrongKids is more than just a weekly routine; it’s an opportunity to build a supportive community of lifelong friends who share your faith and values. By participating, you not only strengthen your relationships but also develop essential social skills that can last a lifetime. Sunday School encourages the formation of good habits, instilling a sense of discipline and commitment that carries over into other aspects of your life. It reinforces important values, providing a moral compass that guides you through challenges. And let's not forget, Sunday School is a place where learning and growing can be surprisingly fun, with engaging activities and discussions that make each visit fulfilling. Join us at ArmstrongKids Sunday School and unlock a world of benefits that go beyond the classroom.

FOR CHILDREN: 

At ArmstrongKids, we wholeheartedly believe that fostering good habits, nurturing social skills, and deepening a spiritual connection are essential for children's growth. Through Sunday school, our dedicated teachers guide children in forming habits like listening, sharing, and showing respect, while instilling vital biblical knowledge such as the Trinity and the importance of a savior. By creating a supportive environment, children not only build a personal relationship with Jesus but also find mentors in our passionate teachers who offer guidance beyond the church walls. Join ArmstrongKids to empower your child to develop meaningful connections with other Christian individuals and embrace diverse perspectives, shaping them into compassionate and spiritually enriched individuals.

FOR ADULTS: 

Sharing in this time with ArmstrongKids Sunday school program can truly expand your opportunities to serve, minister, and grow in your faith journey. The program offers a platform for you to share your beliefs with those who may not have encountered them before, as well as to assist fellow participants with their personal needs. By engaging in ArmstrongKids, you can forge stronger connections with fellow believers that provide a sense of belonging and community. Additionally, delving into the historical context of the Bible and learning about various interpretations not only enriches your knowledge but also equips you with valuable insights to apply to your own life. Enrich your Sundays by being a part of ArmstrongKids and allow yourself to grow spiritually while making meaningful contributions to those around you.

    We will continue our Small Groups:

    By organizing our education sessions this way, we can provide tailored learning experiences that cater to each age group's specific needs and developmental stages. Through using the age-appropriate curricula like First Look for preschoolers, 252 Basics for kids in K-3rd Grade, and FaithClimbers for tweens, we ensure engaging and effective teachings that resonate with each child's level of understanding. By keeping our groups small, we can foster a sense of belonging and community while also encouraging personal growth and a deeper connection with their faith. It's important that our children feel seen, heard, and valued, and this structure allows us to do just that.

    Small Groups

    9:30 am

    At ArmstrongKids we have made the choice to LEAD SMALL!

    We want the next generation to have a really BIG faith – an authentic, everyday kind of faith. When we lead small … we realize that what we do for a few will always have more potential than what we do for many. So, we have made the decision to offer SMALL GROUPS on Sunday mornings where kids can connect better with their leaders. When we lead small… we make a choice to invest strategically in the lives of your kids over time so that we can partner with you to help them build an authentic faith.

    Tween's Group was created just for YOU!

    We are excited to offer several opportunities throughout the year for you to serve others, enjoy each other, and grow in the Lord.This age is often called ‘tweens’ because they are a little old for children’s ministry but not quite ready for youth groups.  

    This group really digs into the Bible and is capable of serving others in many ways. 

     We meet in Room 205 on Sunday!
