Children
Jesus said, “Let the children come to me, and do not stop them, for it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs.” – Matthew 19:14
At Brenthaven children aren’t just the future of the church, they are the church today.
We welcome kids with love, joy, and plenty of chances to grow in faith. Worship is for all ages. Children, youth, and adults gather side by side in the sanctuary. Wiggles, giggles, and even cries are welcome here! We believe kids learn by being part of the whole worshiping community. Nursery care is also available if families prefer.
Children at Brenthaven are valued.
The Sunday School hour not only teaches the children the stories of our faith, but it does so through unique lesson plans that encourage learning through art, storytelling, computer, science, cooking, and games.
Sunday School - Sundays at 9:30am
Pre-K Class - Ages 2–5
Our preschoolers enjoy a short Bible story each week along with hands-on activities like crafts, music, games, and rhymes, helping them discover God’s love in simple, memorable ways.
Kids of the Kingdom - K - 6th Grade
Using a Rotation Model, children explore the same Bible story for several weeks through art, drama, games, science, and storytelling. This hands-on style makes God’s Word stick in their hearts and minds.
Nursery Care
During the 10:45 am service, nursery care is available for infants and toddlers. Loving volunteers and trained caregivers provide a safe, nurturing space while parents worship.
Children at Brenthaven are leaders.
Volunteer service is encouraged. Children serve as worship acolytes, lectors, and leaders of special services. They organize fund-raising campaigns for concerns that are dear to their hearts. They give of their talents every Christmas through a church play and our Live Nativity.
Children at Brenthaven have fun.
From Vacation Bible School to swim parties, from movie and game nights to lock-ins and bowling, and of course Trunk or Treat, we love being together.
Children at Brenthaven are loved.
Every day of the week; every time they enter through the church doors; every time church staff visit them at home, at their school, sometimes at the hospital, during their big moments and difficult moments, children at Brenthaven are loved!
