Children’s Ministry
At Catawba Valley children are our top priority because they are the FUTURE of the church. Our goal is to have something for all ages to keep children interested and excited about their growth with God. Scroll down to see what we have to offer your child based on their age.
Nursery
Nursery is provided at all of our services for children under two.
Children’s Church
Here at Catawba Valley, we take the spiritual welfare of our children very seriously. Our Children’s church consists of ages 4-7 during the Sunday morning sermon.
We depart from the parents during fellowship time and have our time during the sermon. We have prayer and memorize Bible verses. We use a curriculum of DVD’s that are very Biblically sound. We also serve a light snack.
We want the children to hear as much of God’s word as possible. Our prayer is that your child will learn about Jesus, His plan of salvation, and come to know Him as their personal Savior.
Mission Friends
Mission Friends is focused on ages 4-6 year old and meets on Wednesday nights at 7PM. Mission Friends is about teaching Children that they grow just as Jesus grew – mentally (in wisdom), physically (in structure), and spiritually (in favor with God). Our goal is to lay a strong spiritual foundation in the life of each child we teach, with the hope that when older, each child will accept Christ as Savior.
We want to help children begin to understand that God is creator, giver of all good thing; Jesus is God’s Son and best friend, and the Bible is the true, special book that tells about God and Jesus.
We want the children to understand that church is a happy and safe place to learn the truths through activity-based teaching which includes Bible-learning activities that allow them to make progress in problem solving, sharing, and expressing themselves in appropriate ways, thinking of others with kindness, and learning to love others as themselves.
Toddler Time
Toddler Time is focused on children ages 2-3 years old and meets during the Sunday morning service. Toddler Time gives your child the opportunity to play and make new friends with others who are his or her age. Toddler Time consist of watching and engaging in age-appropriate Biblical videos and activities. All Toddlers receive focused time and attention from our loving leaders. Snacks and drinks are provided. Spring and summer months Toddlers receive free time outside in our large fenced in playground.
