Kidz K – 5th Grade

Our Livewire Kidz ministry is here to serve your K-5th grade students. During our weekend services, kids get to experience their very own service with worship, a message, and breakout groups in a safe, friendly and enjoyable atmosphere. Our leaders serve to ensure your kids encounter God, have fun, and feel loved.

 

The safety and security of your children are our top priority. Our check-in and pick-up process is simple yet efficient. Our goal is for you to enjoy service, knowing your kids are secure, while having a great time.

What to Expect
 
Check-In: From your child’s first visit, we will collect some basic information to get to know your child, and enter them into our system. From then on, each time you check-in, both you and your child will receive a security sticker with a matching 3-digit code, valid only for that day. We ask that both you and your child wear this sticker visibly on clothing, until you leave.
 
Enjoy Service: After dropping your child off, relax and enjoy the service! Our leaders are here to ensure your kids to have an incredible time in Livewire Kidz. However, if you are needed, we will display your 3-digit code on the monitors in service to alert you. Please be attentive to the screens throughout the service; and if your number is displayed, head to Livewire Kidz to speak with a leader.
 
Pick-Up: Pick-up is a breeze. First, you will be asked to show your security sticker prior to entering the secure Kids area. (Wearing your sticker visibly helps keep this process moving quickly.) We will then call your child’s name, and one of our leaders will match the number on your child’s sticker to the number on your sticker, prior to releasing them.
 
*If you happen to misplace your security sticker during service, proper identification will be required for release in order to match you and your child in our system.
 
That’s it! We hope to see you and your kids this Sunday for worship. Your kids are sure to encounter God, have fun, and feel loved!
Small Groups
 
Each Sunday morning at 9:30AM our k-5th grade students have the opportunity to study God’s Word and learn in a small group environment. This gives the students an opportunity to learn with others their own age. Age relevant activities, games, and discussion are utilized to help students understand God’s Word and how it relates to them at home and school.
 
Immediately following small groups, the small group leaders will take the students to our gym for their Livewire Children’s Worship. If you will be staying for our second service you are welcome to pick up your kids immediately following the 11AM service in the gym. If you attended our 9:30AM and need to leave, feel free to pick up your kids in the gym prior to our Livewire Worship beginning.
 Curriculum
 

The Bible is our main source of teaching. We use 252 Basics as a tool for our leaders as we plan our time with the Children.

2:52 Basics is discipleship-centered material for children in grades K-5. While discovering scriptural truths is the foundation of this program, 2:52 Basics is designed for children to do more than memorize scripture. It helps kids understand what the verses they memorize mean, because all parts of the meeting focus on one Bible verse per month. The noncompetitive games, memory verse, refreshments, and meeting wrap-up are all designed to help children understand and apply God’s Word to their lives.

The meetings also provide opportunities for teachers to share the plan of salvation and answer questions that children might have. All adults involved in 2:52 Basics are volunteering their time to help the children of the Tri-Cities community learn about and grow in their relationship with Christ.

2:52 Basics is a unique approach to curriculum. It is built around three basic truths every child should embrace according to what Jesus modeled in Luke 2:52:

(1) I need to make the wise choice! (Wisdom)

(2) I can trust God no matter what! (Faith)

(3) I should treat others the way I want to be treated! (Friendship)

Sunday Morning at 11:00AM, in the gym.
