Kids

Welcome to Kidzone!
Kidzone is the Children
's Ministry Program (3yrs old-6th grade), at Evangel Church. Kidzone is a place where children come to learn about God's love and His promises.  At Kidzone, our goal is to create an environment where both enthusiasm and excitement about learning takes place.  The children's ministry wing is a place of wonder & discovery as children learn bible truths.  We strive to offer a program that is student-focused, which keeps the kids actively engaged.  As a result, our efforts supplement your families attempt to lay down a spiritual foundation, that in God's timing will lead a child into a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

Kidzone is offered during ALL Sunday services (9 A.M. The Believer's Edge & 10 A.M.
'KidMo') Kidzone is open 15 minutes prior to each service.  Kidzone is also offered during Evangels Wednesday Night activities (7 P.M. Blast Live)

Each week, we strive to offer every child an exciting large group setting as well as small group & individual attention.

 

Each week high-energy age-appropriate programs are being offered that consist of: a praise/ worship time, small groups, and application-based creative teachings.  ALL  children are taught from creative, age-appropriate curriculum.  This means Bible lessons are both spiritually and developmentally appropriate for your child.   

We can't wait to see you and meet your child this week!

How Does It Work
Delivered on DVD, with lesson plans and print materials on CD-ROM, each session contains 6 distinct yet complementary components:

Conversation Stations

Conversation Stations

Conversation Stations

Conversation Stations are activity centers set up within the classroom during check-in and check-out time. The purpose is to give children a fun and inviting environment in which to play, learn and be introduced to concepts from the lesson. Since children have many different learning styles and interests, a wide variety of options are desired. These include blocks, puzzles, play-dough, books, lacing beads, construction play and other like and varied activities. During playtime, a series of 3 simple Connection Questions are introduced by the leaders. It's a great time for leaders to get to know their kids, as well as introduce the concept for the day.

Teaching

Teaching

The Teaching Video joins Lil' K, and host, Kai on a journey of discovery as we explore the lesson objective for the day. We'll learn how our doodad relates to the objective and how we can live out God's Word, every day. There are keys to find, chests to open, and the silly yet always wise Professor Sock, who will help us decode the mystery of each day's doodad. Let's go!

Song Time

Song Time

Can young children worship? We believe they can. During Song Time each episode includes a sing-a-long worship song that all can join. Presented in music video form kids sing, jump, shout, move and worship through song. The song is repeated throughout each of the 5 episodes in the series.

Remember Verse

Then pass the glue sticks; it's time for our craft! We're not just filling time here folks. Each lesson contains a craft suggestion identifying a specific teaching element.
