Children's Program

The Mountaintop: Children's Ministry at Kirkmont

Mission Statement

To share the Gospel so that the children would know the love of Jesus and grow in the faith.

"But Jesus called the children to Him and said, `Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.’" Luke 18:16

Our Children’s Ministry purpose statement is:

To encourage the children to experience Biblical truths and faith stories so they may know and experience God.
To encourage them in owning their faith.
To take the children to the Mountaintop to meet with Jesus.
If you would like more information, please call Pat Youther at 426-8292 or email pat@kirkmont.org. Let’s head for the Mountaintop!

Sunday School

Our Christian Education program provides a strong foundation for growth and discipleship. Kirkmont offers Sunday School for all ages, from infants through adults.

Children’s Sunday School classes meet at the same time as the youth and adult classes, 9:30 a.m.

Junior Church

To prepare our children for a meaningful worship experience as they grow older, we provide Junior Church during the 11:00 a.m. Worship Service. Children from age 4 through third grade may attend Junior Church.

The children begin by attending the adult Worship Service until they are excused for Junior Church.

Junior Church may include singing, prayer, and an offering. Then the children might enjoy videos, puppets, crafts, snacks, or a time for play. Adult and teen volunteers staff and lead Junior Church, which meets almost every Sunday of the year.

Wednesday Kids

This is part of our Wednesday Night at the Kirk program during the school year. The kids will have fun learning about God through Bible study and exploring some activities such as: singing in the Kids Choir, making a puppet talk, being a mime, banging a boomwhacker, and ringing bells. Meet in the Mountainscape room at 6:30 PM.  In the summertime there will be an event every Wednesday beginning June 30.  Go to events for more information.

Childcare

Kirkmont provides childcare for our younger children during all Worship Services. In our Nursery we care for infants and toddlers of age three and under. During the Worship Service time, these children have plenty of opportunities for playtime. A paid attendant and parent and teen volunteers staff the Nursery. 

Vacation Bible School

Kirkmont’s VBS takes place for a week each June. For that week, the children spend each morning learning lessons from the Bible, singing, creating crafts, snacking, spending time outside in recreation, and enjoying the Super Gang (who really are a super group of teens and role models).

It’s fun, energy-filled, and unforgettable!

Christmas Pageant

Each year the children's Sunday School classes present a Christmas Pageant. With herds of shepherds and hosts of angels, this is a much-anticipated tradition. Following the Pageant, the cast and audience celebrate with a Birthday Part for Jesus--complete with birthday cake!
