KIDS MINISTRY AT OPEN DOOR
Creating a safe space for children to experience the love of God and the truth of the gospel
What is Kids Ministry?
The Kids Ministry at Open Door is committed to building the gospel of Jesus Christ into the lives of the preschool and elementary age children in our care. We are committed to instructing children according to their ability to learn, understand, and apply the truths of the Bible. It is our goal to lay a gospel foundation in the lives of children so the Spirit can work in their hearts to bring them to saving faith in Jesus Christ
What We Do
Through Sunday programming and an ongoing partnership with parents, we aim to model the character of God, instruct young hearts in His Word, and cultivate friendships anchored in a shared hope as our children begin their faith journey.
PRESCHOOL CLASSES
On Sunday mornings, we offer classes for birth-4 year olds during the 9:15am and 11am services. In their classes we provide meaningful play and interaction while you attend Worship. Children two and up will participate in a Sunday School lesson, which is reinforced through centers and crafts.
K-2ND GRADE CLASSES
These classes will consist of Scripture reading, a weekly lesson, and related activities. We look forward to helping your children love God and grow in their faith as they study the Scriptures. K-2nd grade classes meet downstairs at 9:15am in Rooms 112-114.
BLAZE
Blaze provides our children with an opportunity to engage in corporate worship in an age-appropriate setting. Understanding the needs of children, the Blaze experience is meant to be engaging and fun while also being purposeful and instructive. Blaze provides times of worship through teaching and music that lead our children into the understanding that they have been created to worship God with all of their lives. Blaze meets downstairs in the Children's Center at 11am.
UPPER ELEMENTARY
Beginning in third grade, we encourage parents to bring their child with them to the corporate worship service. We also understand that some may not quite be ready and would benefit from an age appropriate class. We offer a 3rd-5th grade Sunday School class in the Student Center at both 9:15 and 11:00. This allows our students to continue to mature as they anticipate worshiping upstairs and provides a place for guests to connect when they visit.
AWANA
AWANA stands for "Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed" and is taken from 2 Timothy 2:15. It is a disciple-making tool rooted in Scripture memorization. Included in every AWANA night is a Bible lesson and games as well. Open Door AWANA meets on Sundays from 5:15 to 6:45pm. AWANA is for kids age 2 through 5th grade. Dues are $15/child (max $40/family).
