Our children’s ministry is fun and vibrant and all about the love of Jesus.

Sunday Mornings

Our trained staff and volunteers are always prepared and ready to care for your littlest ones while you are in the worship gathering. When you arrive at SilverCity Cinema, you’ll immediately see our registration signs, where you can get help signing up your child.

We offer classes for:

Nursery and Preschool, ages 0-4 (entire duration of the gathering)

Early Elementary, ages 5-6 (after dismissal)

Elementary, ages 7-10 (after dismissal)

Check-in opens at 9:45am. Ages 0-4 may go directly, or anytime the parent wishes, to their classroom in Theatre 4.  Early Elementary and Elementary ages will be dismissed during the service after a time of worship through song with the entire congregation. 

Curriculum

All classes consist of a Bible story, question and answer, prayer, craft, intentional play and games. We use The Gospel Project Curriculum for older ages, and TrueWayKids for the younger ages. 

Chronological - We work our way through the Scriptures from Creation to Christ the Early Church until His Return. The amount of time spent in the Old Testament and New is about proportional to their size. 

Christ Centered - the entire Bible is about Jesus and every story points to our need for God’s provision the Saviour. 

Heart Transforming - true obedience comes from a heart that has been changed by the good news and the Holy Spirit. We are not going for behaviour modification or mere morality, but to live out of love for God and others. 

Safety

At Lighthouse we care deeply about your children's safety. Our children’s ministry workers are Plan to Protect trained to ensure the highest levels of care. This includes a criminal background check and references. To learn more about Plan to Protect click here. 

If you ever have a concern about your child or our children’s ministry please contact us immediately. 

Snacks

Snacks are included in the Preschool class. We offer Goldfish crackers and water. Older classes are infrequently offered a variety of snacks or sweets. Please note on the registration sheet if your child has ALLERGIES or should for any reason NOT partake.

Washrooms

We will not change diapers or enter the washroom with a child in our care. For those who need assistance, parents will be texted. Please keep your phone visible and on vibrate for this purpose! For those who do not need assistance, we will watch them enter the washroom and keep watch from the hallway until they return to the classroom. 

Pick- up

Only the parent or guardian listed on the registration sheet will be permitted to pick up your child. For younger children with separation anxiety, parents are permitted to stay a few minutes to get them settled, and are encouraged to try to leave them. If they don’t settle, parents will be texted. For older ages, parents may stay in order to observe the classroom procedures and lesson content, but should do so from a distance (everything can be seen and heard from the upper theatre seats).
