This ministry seeks to help children discover Christ, apply biblical truths to their lives and learn to minister to others through acts of service by serving all children, birth through sixth grade.
Orchard Sunday Mornings
Small group lessons are designed to build community as well as teach children how to live out what they believe. Kindergarten through 4th Graders gather in the large group room for a time of worship before they go to their individual classrooms for developmentally appropriate lessons.
Contenders Sunday Mornings
Contenders Sunday Morning is designed especially for the 5th-6th grade age group. Each week’s lessons dig into the Bible and “Grapple” with faith and life issues together. We intentionally create time for students to build community and personally apply the lessons through interactive small groups.
First Worship
During Sunday morning Worship Service time, Kindergarten and First Graders have a small worship service that is designed to teach them the fundaments of worship at their developmental level that includes a sermonette intended to impact the Children in their spiritual journey.
Kids Own Worship
Kindergarteners-4th graders will enjoy a fun night of Worship and small groups!
The children come in and engage in wonderful Worship time praising the Lord and having fun with friends. There are also character building concepts taught during this time.
The children then break up into small groups with the same small group leader each week. Here they delve in deeper in what was discussed during big group time. There will be hands on activities, and time to write in their journals they will receive during class time, prayer time and weekly Bible verse time. They then join back together for more group time singing and learning. They end the night playing planned activities or having free time in the gym.
*All teachers are college/young adults that have been trained and background checked. They are devoted and care about each child that come into their rooms and are 100% dedicated to bringing them the truth of God.

Celebration Station
Celebration Station is a 52-week companion children’s resource to Celebrate Recovery. So while adults explore topics that bring healing and wholeness, kids discover the same truths in age-appropriate ways! Celebration Station gives kids…
- Hope for all the amazing things God has in store for them
- Truths that help them overcome life’s challenges by learning to lean on Jesus
- Joy as they embark on a wonderful, year-long journey of songs, games, videos, impactful experiences, and great conversation
- Friendships with other children
Celebration Station is designed to inspire kids ( 5 - 12 years old) with hope, joy, and happiness while they learn to rely on God.
“The Celebration Station dream is to put CR out of business by breaking cycles of dysfunction in our families.” John Baker, found of Celebrate Recovery.
