In Promiseland children are taught creative, age-appropriate curriculum.  This means that Bible lessons are both developmentally and spiritually appropriate for your child, as well as fun.  Children learn that Jesus loves them and wants to be their best friend, as well as how to live a life devoted to Jesus.

In Promiseland, beginning at age 2, children learn in a large group and small group format.  During our large group message, children will see and hear the Bible lesson presented in a creative, relevant way.  Children are also given the opportunity to grow spiritually and relationally each week within a smaller group setting of four to eight children.  In their small groups, volunteers will lead the children in games, conversations, and activities that help kids apply what they have learned in large group to their daily life.  The makeup of this group will change from week to week, depending upon the children who attend the service.  

The overall focus of early childhood (birth—age 5) is building a child’s spiritual foundation, while teaching the foundational truths about God. 

Starting with the infant/toddler room, Christ’s love for children is demonstrated by providing a safe and clean environment in which the children can sing and play. 

2 and 3 year olds begin learning Bible stories, as well as the concepts of friendship and love.  In ages 4, 5, and kindergarten, an emphasis is placed on life application from the biblical truths that includes deeper, relevant Bible teaching, creative dramas, and high-energy Promiseland music. 

In late childhood (1st through 5th grade) children continue to apply the Bible directly to their lives.  Each week, trained volunteer leaders facilitate learning in both large and small group environments so kids will leave Promiseland knowing God’s truth (Bible story & key verse), why that truth is important for living today (relevance), and how to apply the truth in their own life (application).  These older children are given more in-depth Bible lessons, time to develop a heart for worship, as well as an opportunity to truly respond to beginning a relationship with Jesus. 


You are invited to visit your child's room any weekend to see the careful, creative attention Promiseland pays to the age of your children.  Simply ask for an entrance tag at the Promiseland Welcome Desk on the day of your visit.  We hope you’ll have so much fun that you will want to stay and serve!
