SPLASH is our ministry program for Preschool and Elementary age kids. We try to make this environment as creative and exciting as possible, with a regular rotation of worship music, small group time, crafts, live-action Bible stories, and special "characters" (such as Captain Cardio, Guitar Dude, and The Chef) who make occasional appearances to teach the kids spiritual lessons through their areas of expertise.
We believe that reaching kids requires more than just good "Sunday School" material, and more than just good programming. It requires relationships. Working and teaching in small groups is a major part of our vision, so that our small group leaders can build those kinds of relationships with a few children, and the kids can have an older friend to talk to, pray with, confide in, and learn from.
Most of all, however, we hold to the idea that we are partnering with parents to teach these kids to walk in godly ways. We get the chance to impact their lives once a week, for about 40 minutes. But our ministry can't compare -- in terms of either time or influence -- to the ministry that you, the parents, can have with your kids. As parents, you are positioned to be the best teachers your kids ever have, and make a greater impact on their lives than anyone else! So, we see ourselves as partners: we get the conversation started on Sunday mornings, so that you can have a starting-point to teach your kids and talk with them all throughout the week.
The SPLASH area is located in the downstairs of our building. If you journey down the stairs, just follow our multicolored hallways until they turn light blue and you'll be there! Kids get to stay in our regular church service through most of the worship time -- watch for an announcement on the screen during the service when it’s time for the kids to venture down with their leaders to SPLASH.
