Parents
Night Out
On the first Friday of the month, parents
are encouraged to bring their children to
the church from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. For
$5, the children have supper and someone to
watch them and play with them while the parents
enjoy some time to themselves.
Upward
Basketball
Upward Basketball is a Christian-based childrens
basketball league that teaches the skills
of the game while also teaching the Gospel
of salvation. Upward is open to the community
for boys and girls, 1st grade through 8th
grade. Skill evaluations are conducted prior
to team assignments to insure that evenly
matched teams are formed. Every child is given
an opportunity to play at least half of the
game, regardless of his or her abilities.
Registration and team assignments begin in
November, and team practices start in December.
Games are played January through mid-March.
Vacation Bible
School
Vacation Bible School is held during a week
each summer for children of preschool age
through middle school. The curriculum is chosen
each year to provide the children with a Bible-based,
active, and entertaining week of learning
and fun. It is usually held in the evenings
so that more of our adults and teens can participate
as volunteer teachers and helpers.
Holiday Activities
Throughout
the year, children have the opportunity to
participate in many fun activities including
an Easter Egg Hunt, Trunk or Treat,
a Halloween alternative, and a Christmas Party.
Other Activities
About once a month, an event
outside the church is planned for the children
to attend including day trips to Dollywood
Splash Country and drive-in movies. Some outings
are titled Destination Unknown
where the children are surprised with an evening
activity such as putt-putt.
