“Jesus said, Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them,
for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
Matthew 19:14
At Covenant Community Church, our vision for children’s ministry is to love and encourage kids with the great news of Jesus Christ. Each weekend your child, Kindergarten-5 th grade, can be a part of an exciting and active environment filled with songs, games, and loveable characters that teach Godly values at an age-appropriate level. CovKids meets at 10:00 AM every Sunday during the regular worship service.
Every hour of CovKids includes the following elements:
Large Group
The first 30 minutes of every CovKids finds the children in a Large Group setting. During this time they will view the Bible Story, Skit, Main Point & Bible Verse. They also sing and review the lesson for the day. This is a high-energy time full of lessons, laughter, excitement, and fun!
|
Small Groups
Small Groups are where it happens…teachers help your children explore how the Main Point can work in their lives. This is also where your child is taught to look up scripture and how God’s word applies to them personally. If children learn at an early age how the Bible affects their lives, they will trust the bible to guide them as adults. |
Main Point
Every week the lesson has a Main Point drawn from a Bible Story that summarizes what
your child is learning that day. This phrase is repeated several times during Large Group
and Small Groups to help reinforce the
message of the day. |
Bible Story
Every lesson taught at CovKids comes from
a story in the bible. These stories are
brought to life in your child’s mind using
a storyteller and cartoon animations. |
Bible Verse
Every week we will focus on a new Bible Verse that helps each child learn the truths of God’s word. We encourage kids to memorize
these verses to help them build a strong foundation for life. |
Songs
For each eight-week series, we will sing and learn motions to the same two Songs: a worship song that will help kids begin to learn what it means to worship God as a group and a theme song that is fun and further develops the message. |
Video Skit
In addition to the Bible Story, the Main Point is brought to life in the form of a Video Skit. The skits creatively demonstrate to the kids ways they can apply the Main Point to their lives. |
Games
We use Games to give kids a chance to have fun and learn about God at the same time. If they are having fun at church then they will want
to be there - and that gives us the chance to invest more in them. If kids are having fun
they will pay attention and if they are paying attention they will learn! |
The curriculum we use at CovKids is specifically designed for kids in Kindergarten-5th grade. It will take your children on an imaginative journey of Biblical learning using the above eight elements. More importantly, it also teaches children how to apply Bible concepts and stories to their everyday lives while building community (friendships) with their peers in small groups. The curriculum also allows CovKids to be fresh and new every eight weeks by introducing a new theme. This consistently engages children in many new, exciting, and life-changing biblical lessons.
At C3, we believe that God has given parents the primary responsibility for the spiritual growth and training of their children. We want to partner with and support parents in this role of growing their children to become devoted followers of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Proverbs 22:6 tells us that if you start children off on the way they should go, even when they are old they will not turn from it. We are here to stand side by side with parents on this privileged journey of raising kids for Christ!
We ask that parents register their children if they are regular participants in CovKids, so that we can provide better care for them.. You can ask for a registraton form at CovKids on Sunday morning or click here to print one yourself. If you would like more information on CovKids or if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Tami Doud at (304) 905-9000 or email children@c3wheeling.org.
