CHILDREN'S MINISTRIES

Why Kidztown?

Since Maranatha began, children have played an important part of the church. However, we felt it was the right time to put a major emphasis on our children and the ministries we provide for them. Creating the names adds to the excitement.

Why did you decide to change curriculum?

We were basically using two different types of curriculum which made it difficult to have any type of cohesive Bible study that would help kids remember what they read or heard. Now your children ages 3-grade 5 will all be learning about the same Bible stories and moral values with one scripture verse a month to not only memorize but hide in their hearts.

What is the new curriculum?

It is from The reThink Group which partners with churches and helps them partner with parents in and equip our teachers with innovative resources for both the church and home.

What happened to the Nursery?

The nursery program has been totally revamped to now include more interaction and exciting stories, games, and music for the 3-5 year olds as well as some parts of the program will be enjoyed by our babies and young toddlers.

How are the program ages broken down?

We will now have The Pond for ages 0-36 months with activities. The Backyard is for ages 3-K. Power Station is for ages 3 through Grade 5.

What if my child is two? Can they come to The Backyard?

Not until they have turned 3. We will, however, have some parts of The Backyard that we will bring the younger ones out to enjoy whenever possible.

What happened to Children’s Church?

This program has been completely redesigned and is now called The Adventure Zone for Grades 1-5. This program is high energy, lots of drama, music, and fun.

Why is there no C.O.M.E.T. Club or HIS Kids?

Because now our main focus of ministry is during our Sunday morning. We want families to use their evenings and mid-week to build strong family units as well as relationships with those around them. Become involved in your communities and invite people to Sunday morning worship. Our volunteers now can serve Sunday morning in a ministry as well as worship with their guests.

What can I do to help?

Pray for our ministry and its workers. If you have not already signed up to be a part of this exciting ministry, please consider doing so. This program requires many workers, but we feel our children are important and using these exciting resources to bring them closer to God is time well-spent.
