Kids

At Covenant, we strive to provide multiple pathways for children to learn about God, experience God’s love, practice worship arts, and explore their gifts with peers and between generations. Ministry opportunities are available only by the generous gifts of time and talent shared by our Covenant volunteers. Please prayerfully consider how you and your family can participate with us either as participants or helpers

During worship services

Children are always welcome in worship services at Covenant. Other opportunities include:

  • Worship Materials – Ask an usher for help to find the children’s worship table in the narthex at the back of Covenant’s sanctuary or on the windowsill near the front of the sanctuary. There you will find activities designed to help young children listen and engage in worship.
  • Gathering Space – Adults and children may opt to worship together in the gathering space. A children’s table with quiet activities and a rack with children’s books are available for little ones while the service is livestreamed.

Sunday morning opportunities

Nursery

Children birth up to age 2 are invited to the nursery to play and to learn together during the 10 a.m. worship service.

Preschool

Children age 2 – 4 are invited to the nursery for an introduction to the Bible through curriculum, creative play, and music during the worship service.

Children’s Church during 10:00 Worship

Children are invited to join Children's Church during the School Year.
Between Labor Day and Memorial Day, children age 5 – grade 5 are invited to (but not required to attend) Children’s Church following the children’s message during the 10:00 worship service. This year, The Biggest Story curriculum will be used. Children will learn God’s word through 104 Bible stories. You can watch an overview of the curriculum HERE.

During Summer Months, it's SermonTime StoryTime!
In the summer months, children age 5 – grade 5 are invited to join our children's ministry staff and volunteers just outside the sanctuary during the sermon. Each Sunday, children will hear a story from a picture book that relates to the lesson of the sermon. 

There is no cost to attend children's ministry events and pre-registration is not required but we do need emergency contact information for each student. If you would like fill out this information ahead of time, click on the button below.
