Children

It takes a village to raise a child, and we want to be part of that village. Our goal to help kids live holy lives transformed by Christ through salvation, sanctification, and spiritual growth. We do that by introducing the kids and their families to Jesus through love, mentoring, discipleship, fellowship, evangelism, service, fun, and friendship in a safe child-friendly environment with screened staff. The children's department at Shawnee First Church of the Nazarene isn't just for the kids, but for their entire families. We aim to support families in leading Christ centered lives and helping pass that legacy on to the next generation.

The Little Ones

Our Nursery is open to children under 2 years of age for all services.

 

WEE Church
WEE Church is for children ages three and four. It is designed for toddlers and appeals to their short attention spans and emphasizes God's love and care for them. They make things and hear stories and songs about God!

 

Children's Church

We are excited to offer “Kids on the Move” curriculum for our Children’s Church.

  • The beauty of Kids On The Move is that no two lessons are the same.
  • Each volume includes a dynamic mix of interactive video and live-action story-telling devices that share Christian ideals in memorable ways.
  • Our unique mix of videos, skits, personal teachings, and other activities is designed to entertain, engage, and enlighten. You’ve never seen spiritual study like this. And neither have they.

Rovercomer talks in a dog dialect that only the teacher can understand. His wild gestures and colorful costume make him a real attention-grabber. With the help of a cleverly-written script, the teacher interprets Rovercomer’s story for the class. We use a number of praise and worship songs just for children’s church, and we’ve provided the lyrics on screen to help them sing along. Proverbs says that a merry heart doeth good like a medicine, and we believe humor can open up an audience. Every volume of Kids On The Move is equipped with comedic puppet skits for each lesson. These skits are designed to provide both positive and negative role models for the teacher to present in the classroom. We believe that children need to hear the preaching of God’s Word just as adults do. The illustrated sermon is the highlight of our weekly lesson. These messages come with informative commentary so the teacher who presents them will understand and be able to convey the central truth of each lesson. This is an exciting opportunity for children to learn about God in a way that touches all their senses. The Kids will tell you that they love this program and the parents will agree!
