Children's Ministry at The Glade Church - leading children to treasure Christ and courageously make Him known

We partner with families & volunteer leaders to:

Introduce children to Jesus
Inspire awe of God in children's hearts & minds
Invest in each child

We serve families with children in Kindergarten through 5th grade. Our team of staff and volunteers provide a fun, safe environment for your child to make friends and learn about God.

FIRST TIME GUESTS

We are so excited to have you join us, and we want the process to be as easy as possible. When you arrive at our church, park in the guest spaces in the big parking lot and enter under the covered drive-thru with glass doors. There will be greeters there to welcome you in the foyer at the "New Here" desk. We'll escort you to the kids check-in station.

You can save time by clicking the link below and pre-registering your children.

SUNDAY MORNINGS

We host Children's Programming at both the 9am and 10:30 services.

In every session, our leaders call names and build relationships with kids. We open the Bible and read from God's Word because nothing shapes our hearts and minds like the truth of scripture. Each session includes a time of prayer -- sometimes all together, sometimes kid-led, sometimes modeled by a teacher. To stay current with what kids are learning week-to-week, subscribe to the Children's Ministry Newsletter.

APRIL MISSIONS FOCUS

LIGHTHOUSE CHRISTIAN CAMP

Lighthouse Christian Camp located in Smithville, Tennessee, is for kids who can’t travel as far for camp or wouldn’t get to go otherwise. The camp gives kids an outdoor experience where they learn about God and are told about Jesus and how to become a Christian. The staff and volunteer counselors give love and encouragement to these kids. They also talk to the kids about their problems and struggles and give them good advice. Hundreds of kids are given the chance to go to camp for free! They can go during the summer, or go to retreats during the rest of the year. They even minister to the kids as they get older, until they become grown up.

The Glade has an opportunity to partner with Lighthouse to provide hygiene items children need for their week at camp. Please consider bringing any of the below items to the mission wall this month!

Towels/wash cloth
Hairbrush/comb
Soap/shampoo
Toothbrush/toothpaste
Sunscreen
Insect repellent
Flashlight w/batteries
Twin sheets
Blanket

THANK YOU to everyone who participated in March's Serve Day, including those who served at Lighthouse Christian Camp. 10 people, representing 4 families, made the trip to Smithville to serve!

QUESTIONS FROM KIDS

We are here to support you when answering your child's questions about Jesus, salvation, baptism, and sin. Here are tools we use in Glade Kids ministry when talking about salvation, picking a Bible, or talking about Baptism.
