Our children have "Value, Purpose and Destiny in Christ." Every lesson, activity, and event are designed to meet children where they are on their journey. Our passion is to be a BRIDGE by connecting with kids through meaningful relationships and a LIGHT to penetrate the hearts of our children with relevant truth and revelation from God's Word.
Mission
Our mission is to partner with families to develop a spiritual foundation in the lives of their children and lead them to discover their value, purpose, and divine destiny in Christ.
SUNDAY CELEBRATION SERVICE 10AM Nusery ages 0-2 opens at 9:45
Preschool ages 3-4, after worship
K-5th Grade, after worship
We encourage families to worship, praise, serve and minister together! Ages 4 and above are asked to stay in the morning service until our praise through singing is complete. Destiny Kids are escorted to the classrooms for more praise and worship as well as teaching by wonderful volunteers.
Nursery: Newborn to 2 years
Our infant and toddler rooms are clean, loving, and cheerful environments in which the children learn about Jesus through song and play.
Preschool: 3 to 4 years
The preschoolers will join the elementary kids in "Lights, Camera, Action!" for the first twenty minutes for praise time, the object lesson, and the Bible story where they will have the choice to participate as characters in the drama for the day. The children wil also learn scripture, discuss content on their learning level, share their "God Sightings" and pray for and with others.
K-5th Grade
From Kindergarten through fifth grade, children continue to deepen their knowledge of the scriptures and learn to apply the Bible directly to their lives. Creativity abounds in our Sunday morning program full of interactive storytelling with spirited praise and worship designed to foster an intimacy and sensitivity to the Holy Spirit.
If you would like more information about Destiny Kids contact Shannon Le Grand at slegrand@ndckc.com. Volunteers are always needed to serve, teach, and model a great relationship with Jesus.
Lights, Camera, Action! is our new Sunday morning ministry time which will take kids on a journey through the Bible each week. Set in the movie studio of a big city, kids will experience skits, games, and activities which illustrate God’s grace, power and faithfulness. The more kids know about what God is really like, the more they are motivated to receive what He has done for them and reflect His purpose for their lives.
"And the streets of the city will be filled with boys and girls playing in its streets.'" Zechariah 8:5
Sunday morning elements will include:
The Curious Thing connects an object or idea with what kids already know
Shout It Out introduces our scripture for the day
Stick to the Script is a scripture memory game to teach the memory verse as the kids later discover how it fits with the lesson
Praise and Worship to focus on the Lord and thank Him for what He has done for us
Knot of the Week interactively reinforces an idea from the lesson
Make a Scene encourages kids to learn the Bible by playing the characters in the story! "Tell me and I will forget. Show me and I will remember. Involve me and I will understand."
Prayer time allows kids the opportunity to pray with and for someone
Impact Skit reinforces the lesson in a humorous way
Z Street Live is a game show review to reinforce the lesson
Facts and Puzzles is a take home handout to put on the fridge. We encourage the whole family to discuss the lesson for the week and learn the memory verse!
Z Bucks: The kids will receive bucks each week for bringing their Bible, bringing a friend, learning the scripture, etc. We will have a Gift Shop open once a quarter to cash in their bucks. We encourage the kids to share their bucks with others, bless others with gifts, and recognize that God trusts us with His resources.
