The Sunday morning format for children is designed to weave one theme throughout each Sunday

    and create an integrated and cohesive Christian Education experience for kids.

    All children are invited to attend worship in the sanctuary. Those age three through 5^th grade may

    come forward for a children's message and then go to Faith Station.

    Faith Station has four components:

             9:15-9:45 A kid-friendly worship experience upstairs in the activity center.

             9:45-10:00 Small group age level groupings for discussion and fellowship in Gamon Hall

                             downstairs to enable our kids to know God and one another in new and deeper ways.

             10-10:30 A time in Gamon Hall to dig deeper into the weekly theme through hands-on

                            learning experiences in a small group age level environment.

             10:30-10:50 Kids learn about and participate in the missions of Gary Church

                                through interactive activities focused on how we grow, serve, nurture, demonstrate and proclaim.

    Kindergarten - 5^th graders are encouraged to engage their imagination to explore the meaning and mysteries in the Bible

    through visual images and other creative arts. Kid SPIRIT is a learning environment that creates opportunities for children
