SUNDAY MORNINGSWe offer a myriad of opportunities for kids and families to worship at Village. Kids are always welcome in the Sanctuary for worship! However, we know that hour can get long for little ones, so we offer activity bags to engage them during services. We also offer Sunday school (called The Lighthouse) during the 9:30 a.m. service. Kids explore the teachings of Jesus in fun and meaningful ways. We sing, make crafts, read Bible stories, chat and get to know each other. And we are so grateful to have professional musician Dino O’Dell on board as worship leader.
INFANTS-TODDLERSSunday morning infant and preschool care is offered during all services in our Nursery (Room 114).
Care for toddlers (walking) is offered: 8 a.m. – Nursery (Room 114) 9:30, 10:45 and 11 a.m. – Room 111 THE LIGHTHOUSECome join us on Sunday mornings at The Lighthouse. We believe God is our ultimate light source. He lights our path even when the terrain is rocky and the waves are crashing. And he invites and encourages us to LET OUR LIGHT SHINE on the people around us.
PRESCHOOLOur curriculum is Bible-based and designed to make God’s word relevant to young children. Stop at our central check-in counter for first floor preschool classroom information.

Curriculum by Augsburg Press, Sparkhouse Frolic and Whirl will allow children K-6th grades to follow the same Bible story in each class, so families can engage together and discuss lessons at home. MORNING STARS CHILDRENS CHOIRMorning Stars is a comprehensive music and worship education program for children in Kindergarten through grade 6. Children who are enrolled in Morning Stars attend Kids' Kingdom at 9:30 a.m. and then from move directly to choir from 10:30 -11 a.m.
There are three choirs: The Hallelujah Choir for grades 3rd-6th, directed by Will Breytspraak, the Prelude Choir for Kindergarten-2nd Grade, directed by Rebecca Enslow and Kate Beebe, and the new preschool Angel Choir for 3-4-year-olds (Age 3 by Sept. 1, 2018) directed by Jenny Hull. Choirs will meet on the second floor of the education wing. Children will sing in worship periodically, and help serve as worship leaders as much as possible. Contact Jenny Hull for more information. MOTHERS ROOMA Mothers Room is available for nursing moms with closed-circuit television viewing of worship services. The room is located across from the Chapel at Village on Mission.
