Read below to get a good feel for the Cool River Kids Ministry. For much more and some very cool resources just for parents check out these two blogs: AND
One of our values (a top-level priority) at Cool River is the “next generation.” Our community and church are full of children and we feel it is our responsibility to help build a great foundation for their lives.
Our focus is to be a partner with parents in that endeavor…to help them give their children the gift of wisdom that comes from the Word of God.
Our Purpose: To REACH, CONNECT and DEVELOP children
Reach - We reach out to children through community involvement and events as well as our Sunday morning program.
Connect - We strive to connect children to God, their parents, and other children with meaningful experiences and connecting tools at church and at home.
Develop - We help develop children by providing virtue-driven Bible lessons that help to provide a solid foundation for the rest of their lives.
What do Sunday mornings look like?
Nursery: Ages 0-24 months
Cool River Church provides a safe, nurturing, parent-run nursery. We serve Cheerios as a snack.
Preschool: 3-5 year olds
Preschool participates in an interactive program called ELEVATE JR. They have the opportunity to worship "kidstyle" with music, games, drama and activities designed specifically for preschoolers that reinforce that day's lesson.
School Age: K-6th grade
Grades Pre K (5) - 6th Grade meet in the small gymnasium. They participate in an interactive program called ELEVATE. They have the opportunity to worship "kidstyle" with music, games, drama and activities that reinforce the day's lesson. Each Sunday will allow for both large and small group time. Children are placed into age-appropriate groups:
Pre K - 1st
2nd - 3rd Graders
4th - 6th Graders
Cool River Kids Wellness Policy
We value children's health, and operate a well-child nursery and children’s ministry. For the protection of all of the children in our ministries, we cannot accept a child with a:
• runny nose (small amounts of clear or cloudy & uncolored nasal drainage is ok)
• cold
• fever within the last 24 hours
• rash
• persistent cough
• pinkeye
• diarrhea
• any other signs of illness
We request that parents not bring their children to the nursery or any children’s area if the child is known to be contagious and/or while they are at risk of exposing other children to illness.
