Children
Children are an integral part of Christ’s family at Cole
Mill Road Church of Christ.
We provide classes for learning about the good news of Jesus
and the Bible on Sunday mornings and evenings.
On Wednesday nights, children’s activities focus on service to others.
For children four years to third grade, a special Children’s
Worship is provided during the regular Sunday morning services
to give them an opportunity to praise God and learn about worship.
Other activities include Vacation Bible School,
special holiday activities, and a Holiday Children’s Chorus.
The childrens ministry is lead by Greg Ridgon and
the Childrens Ministry Team.
Children’s Sunday Worship
Children’s worship helps prepare children ages 3 – 3rd grade
to be worshippers. It helps them understand how and why we worship.
They learn what communion is, how and why we pray, why we sing;
they learn about our relationship with God.
This ministry helps children establish their belief in God.
Ways members can and do help include:
Ministry Leaders: Chris & Brenda Felder
Chorus for Children
The Children’s Chorus gives our preschool- and elementary-aged
children the opportunity to share special musical programs with
the church family. The group generally meets for four to six
weeks before a program event.
Helpers (middle school through adult) learn the songs along
with the children, serving as both musical
and behavioral role models.
Children's Sunday Education: Toddlers - Elementary
Sunday Bible classes provide for our children lessons and
activities designed to draw them closer to God and socialize
them in the Christian way.
Ministry Leader: Greg Rigdon
LTC (Leadership Training for Christ)
Leadership Training for Christ is a regional program for
children and youth in grades 3 through 12. The goal of LTC
is to promote the development of spiritual gifts through
training in areas such as Song Leading, Scripture Reading,
Daily Devotion, Service, Drama, Bible Bowl, Speech, Puppeteering,
Art, Bulletin board, Signing for the Deaf, and more.
The LTC theme is integrated throughout the youth curriculum
and training occurs during the Fall, Winter and Spring on Sunday
evenings. LTC culminates on Easter Weekend with a convention of
the Eastern Region (www.erltc.org).
Congregation members are needed to serve as coaches,
attend the convention, and encourage our children and youth.
Ministry Leaders: Natalie Beyer, Joe Thedford
Nursery
The nursery ministry cares for children up to the age of
18 months during Sunday morning worship. Along with keeping
the nursery supplied with care items, this ministry maintains
a schedule of those who would like to serve in the nursery.
The nursery ministry provides an adequate number of adults
and their helpers to care for the children.
Those who serve have the opportunity to get acquainted with
parents and children of our congregation and the individuals
who assist in this ministry. The nursery ministry provides a
secure environment for our young children and is an example
of the loving support we lend to one another. Adults and
teens are welcome to join this ministry.
Ministry Leader: Amy Witherow (Sunday Morning)
Teachers' Supplies / Workroom
This ministry serves those who teach. Prior to the teaching quarter,
teachers prepare a "needs list" for supplies and an order is placed.
Classroom supplies are checked and staple teaching supplies are ordered
periodically so that the supply cabinets in the children’s classroom
wing remain well-stocked.
Vacation Bible School
Vacation Bible School is a summer event, and it includes crafts,
games, refreshments, and Bible stories. Our children and their
friends learn more about God and enjoy being with other children.
Our 2004 VBS will be held at our church facility.
Ministry Leader: Susan Banks
Wednesday Evening Education: Infants through 3rd Grade
Classes and activities are available for our children
on Wednesday evenings following our meal together.
