2nd & 3rd Grade

Early Elementary

Early Elementary is designed specifically to support the spiritual growth of children in 2nd and 3rd grades. During this important stage, we strive to help these children grow in their faith by sharing strong biblical truths and model Christ-like character. We are committed to fostering a nurturing environment where children are encouraged to develop socially and emotionally, as well as spiritually. Through meaningful interactions and shared experiences, we support the formation of lasting friendships and a strong sense of community. The Early Elementary wing is located in the easternmost part of the building, off the Atrium of Genesis Sanctuary.

Our Goals

Students within Early Elementary will:

  • Develop an understanding of who God is and how much He loves us.
  • Develop age-appropriate Bible skills and a love for God’s Word.
  • Develop a desire to know His will and plan for our lives.
  • Develop a personal prayer life. Opportunities for prayer are woven throughout each service.
  • Develop more fully-devoted followers of Jesus Christ.

Curriculum

We engage children in both large and small group settings, using a mix of games, videos, and group discussions. Live worship is led by our Children’s Ministry Worship Team, creating an energetic and meaningful experience. Our interactive, chronological curriculum guides children through the entire Bible, helping them see how every story points to Jesus and the Gospel. We want every child to understand that the Bible is not just a collection of stories, but one powerful, cohesive story: God’s story of redemption.

Additionally, our curriculum includes a special ā€œMissions Momentā€ that introduces children to real missionaries around the world and the communities they serve, fostering a heart for global missions.

Snacks & Allergies

Snack time is not part of our regular service, but class parties take place during special times of the year. Approved snacks will be provided by WOC staff and volunteers. A list will be posted outside the classroom door for your approval. For the safety of all children, please note that our areas are nut-free.
