Our Elementary Sunday School ministry is called KidJam and is offered during worship services (during the school year) for children in kindergarten thru 5th grade providing them with an opportunity to grow in their relationship with God. Our mission is to assist you with your child's spiritual development and to encourage the formation of a lifelong relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Here's what a typical day at KidJam looks like:
- 15 minutes before service until start of service
Drop of your child at the registration tables. Sign them in on the attendance sheet for their grade. If your child is registered, he or she will have a nametag. Registration forms are available at the Greeter's table. We ask that you register your child each year in the fall. Please let us know if your child has any allergies or special needs. You are then free to go upstairs for worship while your child plays in the Activity Center. Shepherds hang out in the Activity Center to greet and play with kids prior to the start of KidJam.
- Service Time - 75 minutes
Your child will split the time between Large Group and Small Group.
During Large Group the kids gather together in Quad 1 for a stage presentation that combines a Bible truth or story, life application and worship. Children have the opportunity to worship through music and movement. Songs are chosen by age-appropriateness and help reinforce the lesson being taught during Large Group.
Signs will be posted indicating where your child will be when you come for pick-up. We program for 75 minutes each week. Please wait by the doors until 7:15 pm, 10:15 am, or 12:00 pm (depending upon service).
For security reasons, grades K-4 are not allowed to leave their small group until they are picked up by you or an older sibling. 5th graders may leave on their own.
Two Large Group Presentations will meet different needs
Kindergarten through second graders will have a different Large Group presentation than third through fifth graders. They will revolve around the same Bible Story but will be presented differently to meet the needs of the different age groups.
Small Groups are an important extension of church life at Door Creek!
We begin this emphasis as early as kindergarten in our small groups in KidJam. Small Group allows kids to gather with other kids their gender and grade for activities that reinforce the Bible lesson and helps kids apply these Bible truths to their young lives.
A shepherd leads each small group, usually 3-10 kids of the same grade and gender.
