Kids Ministry (Nursery-5th Grade)

Sundays • 9AM and 10:45AM

Sunset Kids exists to make disciples of children through caring and nurturing the next generation of believers as they are a heritage from the Lord (Psalm 127:3-5). We are dedicated to supporting parents as they endeavor to train their children to walk in a way that honors and glorifies God (Proverbs 22:6). We believe that partnering together is the best way to help children grow in their faith.

WHERE?

We invite you to participate in our Kids Ministry programs, which take place in the CE building located at 3635 Lawton. The CE building is conveniently situated across the street from our Worship Sanctuary. When you bring your children, please use the left-side door entrance with a glass window/door. Our dedicated staff of helpers will be readily available to provide assistance from that point onward.

    If you are dropping off your infant, please bring a bottle with ready-made formula or milk and a diaper bag with diapers, a top, pants, socks, a pacifier, and bib. Please label all items with your child’s name.

  • The Well-Child Policy is a way to keep a safe and healthy environment at Sunset Church. We cannot accept children with a cold, fever, rash, persistent cough, diarrhea, or any other signs of illness.

  • Children can join the preschool program when they are potty-trained and able to communicate. If the preschool teacher assesses that the child is not ready for preschool class, he/she may have the child stay in the Nursery until the next promotion (Feb or Sept).
