The purpose of our preschool ministry is to help each child associate God. Jesus and the Bible with positive happy feelings and to know that Jesus is a special friend who loves him.
Sunday School

Security System
- Sign in. If your child is already listed on the sign-in sheet, you do not need to complete all the information requested.
- Tag your child. A teacher will give you a matching set of Noah's Ark "Kiddie Keeper Tags". They have corresponding numbers on the back. Clip one end of this set to your child's back or diaper bag. Record the number on the sign-in sheet.
- Take the matching tag to Sunday School or the worship service with you. When you return to pick up your preschooler, give your tag to your child's teacher to assure a speedy and safe process. We ask that you do not send older siblings to pick up your preschooler. Our teachers have been trained to not release preschoolers to anyone other that the parent.
- Be sure to give the preschool teacher any special instructions. Relax and enjoy your worship time. Your child is being cared for by experienced preschool teachers. We will be teaching them about the love of Jesus in many different ways.
