Children’s Ministry

Happy Fall!  School.  Our Fall weekly ministries are beginning and I am excited about the possibilities for your child this year at MCA.   We want to partner with you in your child’s spiritual journey.  It is our goal that your child will be transformed through times of celebration in worship and the word, through discipleship training and through times of equipping and developing.

Weekly Ministry Times For Children At MCA

Early Childhood

Welcome to MCA’s ministry to children up to kindergarten age.

Nursery (0 to 3 years)- “Let the children come to me. . .” The Nursery Ministries program is an extension of the nurturing and loving atmosphere that all children experience while at MCA. It is provided for all children whose parent(s) or guardian(s) are attending church-sponsored programs or activities. The staff are dedicated to providing the highest quality care for each child. Nursery is available Sunday Mornings 9:15AM and 11:15AM services, Wednesdays from 7PM-8:30PM.

Early Ed (3 years to kindergarten)-MCA offers age appropriate Bible teaching mixed with a whole lot of fun in its Pre-K/Kinder class Time on Sunday mornings. Children are never too young to begin to learn God’s Word and hide it in their hearts. We emphasize Jesus’ love through Bible lessons, arts & crafts, and activities. Classes are available Sunday Mornings 9:15AM and 11:15AM services.

Elementary

Welcome to Elementary Education at MCA also called the KidZone. KidZone is a safe place where kids in grades 1-5 can experience the love of God and the power of the Holy Spirit while building Christ-centered relationships. KidZone meets in the Student Ministry Center at 9:15 and 11:15 every Sunday morning.
