Children's Ministry

"Search for it like silver, and hunt for it like hidden treasure. Then you will understand respect for the Lord, and you will find that you know God." Proverbs 2:4

It is the heart of Spotlight Ministries to encourage children to roll up their sleeves and search the very Words of God to discover the eternal treasures within. Rather than trying to give the kids a gold nugget of truth, we hope to partner with the parents and give the kids the tools to dig deep into the word and find more than a nugget.

 
This process of digging has three distinct areas.         
  1. Know God
  2. Love People
  3. Serve others
 

KNOW GOD

The ways that we try to help the kids know God is by study of the WORD! The opportunities to grow by KNOWING HIM include:

 
  • Bible study (Sundays @ 9:00am)
  • Spotlight (Children’s Worship 10:00 am Sunday)
  • W3 – (a 3 prong approach to Wednesday nights, 6:30 – 8:00)
 

LOVING PEOPLE

The children’s ministry of Shelby Crossings believes that the Greatest Commandment isn’t just for people over the age of 18. The giftings and challenges for Christians apply to all who are in the family of God. The opportunities to grow by LOVING PEOPLE include:

  • VBS
  • Spotlight Studios – Kids are encouraged to “lead” worship and are included in the worship services.
  • W3 – Students learn “how to” put faith into action.
  • “Helper’s Club” – more info coming Summer ‘08
  • Forks and Friends – Family Fellowships throughout the year.
 

SERVE OTHERS

The ability of kids to “serve others” is so closely tied to their lack of ability to drive a car, we rely heavily on the parents to be a part of this area of ministry.

 
  • VBS – The mission project for each year raises money for a children’s ministry.
  • W3 – Kids are given the challenge to take their biblical knowledge and put “feet” on it in order to be a benefit to their family, community, and schools.
  • Helper’s Club – Performing missions in the community as a body of believers.
 
Bible Study (featuring Group’s Bible Blitz curriculum)

In depth, age appropriate, study of the Word of God.  Bible Study is tied to the theme of Spotlight to reinforce biblical concepts. Meets at 9:00am in Building C.

 

 

Spotlight is an upbeat, interactive worship time for kids that encourage them to have a lot of fun, while enjoying God's Word in the process.  Spotlight meets each Sunday Morning at 10:00am in the Ministry Center (Bldg. C).

Kids Community Group  meets on Wednesday nights in the Multi Purpose Building (Bldg. A) at 6:30-8:00pm.    Come experience WORSHIP, WORD, & WIGGLE!!!!!!

 
Student Life Kid’s Camp
