Living Hope’s Children’s Ministry

Our Mission:

To support parents in helping their children develop a strong faith in Jesus Christ (and to encourage a loving relationship with Him). To that end, we will help children grow in their knowledge of God’s Word and discover how they are special to Him.

Children ages kindergarten to 5th grade love our “Promise Land” children’s ministry that takes place during both the 9:00am and 10:30 am service.

Promise Land uses the VEGGIECONNECTIONS ELEMENTARY CURRICULUM. Bob & Larry will help kids learn how to connect God in a real, day-to-day way with Bible verses, songs, puppet shows and much more. Kids come to class excited to learn biblical lessons with VeggieTales!

Our Goal:

Our goal is for children to really become comfortable with looking up the lessons in their own Bibles. We encourage them to bring their bibles with them each week and to highlight them etc.

Our Policy:

Some simple rules have been put into place to help parents and teachers plant the seeds of faith in kid's lives:

1. Bring your Bible.
2. Be respectful in words and actions to teachers and classmates.

What it means to be respectful with words:
Use positive kind words.
Use please and thank you.
Bathroom words stay in the bathroom.
Don’t use cut-downs or call names.

What it means to be respectful with actions:
Keep your hands to yourself.
Raise hand to speak.
Wait until called upon to speak.
No roughhousing.

Promise Land begins promptly at 9:30 with songs. We break into our grade level classes for the Bible lesson, games and crafts. The classes come back together for a time to share. All children will come into the sanctuary after the sermon to hear Pastor Howard’s children’s message.


God has truly bless Living Hope with faithful and committed volunteers who are prepared to welcome your child with open arms, and provide them with a loving and nurturing learning environment. This is a place where they will learn and embrace the Bible and Christ's teaching in their daily lives.
