We have made the choice to LEAD SMALL

We want the next generation to have a 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, 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.

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. Our goal is to work alongside your family to help grow the faith of your child.

Together, we are building a legacy of faith, one child, one family, and one heart at a time.

The Greatest Adventure
Discovering Jesus at the Center of God’s Story

Preschool and elementary children are invited to share in the greatest adventure of all as they explore the Bible through engaging stories, activities, and age-appropriate lessons from the Jesus Storybook Bible.

Each week, children will discover that every story in the Bible points to Jesus and reveals God’s amazing plan of love and salvation. As the lessons build upon one another, children will begin to see the Bible as one connected story—and understand that they have an important place within it.

Through creative storytelling, meaningful conversations, prayer, and hands-on activities, children will grow in their understanding of Scripture, strengthen their relationship with God, and discover that Jesus is not only at the center of God’s great story, but at the center of their story too.

Sunday Mornings
Small Groups

Check-in at the Children’s Desk

Check-in will begin at 9:30 am, and you will be directed to the small group specifically designed for your child or to the main sanctuary for the Children's Moments.  

Every Sunday during our Traditional Service in the sanctuary at 9:40 am. The Children will participate in a Children Moments, led by Benny M. and Kaleigh H. 

When there is a fifth Sunday of the month, the kids attend church with their parents and guardians.  We still have nursery and toddler care for both services.

Leap of Faith: Share in Our Tween's Group for 4th-6th Graders!

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!

Sunday School Volunteer Opportunity
We need your help and support!

We need volunteers for ArmstrongKids and be a part of a beautiful journey in nurturing and guiding incredible kids towards Christ! From Sunday School to special events and VBS, we invite you to experience the tremendous blessing of working together in building relationships with these young souls.

We have an exciting opportunity for a "welcome" staff role to greet families and provide guidance. Imagine the impact you can make by dedicating just 1 hour a month! Consider the possibilities of sharing 2, 3, or even 4 hours with these amazing children. Pray about where God is leading you to serve and witness the transformation in the lives of these kids. Your contribution to ArmstrongKids could be the beacon of light these young hearts need.
