Ypsi Free Children's Ministries

Our Children’s Ministry Team strives to provide a safe and loving environment for kids. Our teachers love the Lord and want to share His love and truth with children. Classes are designed to help children experience lessons from the Bible through fun activities.

Our mission statement is: Together with parents we will introduce children to God and His son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, teach them Biblical truths to help them build their faith, and provide opportunities to practice ministering to others.

Sunday School

We offer care and teaching on Sunday mornings for children birth through 5th grade. Classes are held during both our 9:00 and 11:00 services. During the 11:00 service, children K-5th grades will begin by joining worship with their families. At 11:10 parents can release their kids to come downstairs for their classes.

Nursery: Our nursery caregivers love to serve the youngest members of our church family. Children will receive nurturing, loving care while their parents are worshipping. We provide a clean and safe environment for children birth - 2 years to explore and enjoy. (Older 2 year olds who are ready for a classroom environment are welcome to join the pre-school class.)

Pre-School: Children 3 - 4 years old will experience fun, age-appropriate activities. We provide a variety of activities to help the children enjoy learning about God! Their classes will include: Bible lessons, prayer, songs, crafts, games, puppets, snack and free play.

K-5th Grades: Our elementary program is virtue based. For an entire month we look a particular virtue such as Knowledge, Determination or Gratitude. Lessons and characters from the Bible are used to show how God wants us to live our lives. Drama, singing, Bible study, games and interactive activities are all part of our Sunday morning experience. Small groups are used to help kids apply the lesson at their age level and to build relationships with friends and their small group leader.

We encourage children K-5th grades to bring their Bibles to class. If your child does not have a Children’s Bible, we would love to provide one for them!

Mid-Week Classes

Nursery & Preschool: On Wednesdays, we offer nursery care for infants - 2yrs and classes for children 3 - 4 years. Children spend time learning more about God through Bible lessons, songs, puppets, games and crafts. This is a great time for kids to build relationships and learn about God’s love for them.

Family Connection: Kids in K-5th grades and their parents worship together in the sanctuary. Lessons from Sunday morning are continued during this Wednesday evening shared experience through dramas, skits, singing and audience participation. Parents are able to learn alongside the kids so that they can continue to reinforce the lessons through the week.
