Zoe Kidz

ZOE KIDZ is an exciting place for preschoolers. Zoe is the Greek word for life. Children are a gift from God, the giver of life, and they are so full of life! As a church, we want to help preschoolers experience the life-changing reality of Jesus Christ in an environment that speaks their language developmentally, is safe and secure, and helps them understand how loved they are by God. We believe that their spiritual foundation can be built during these formative years.

Our ministry to preschoolers is not solely focused on the children.  It is our intent to lead families to reorient their lives around the person of Jesus Christ. If you are a parent, please visit the PARTNERING WITH PARENTS page to learn more about how we want to come alongside and support you in the process of raising your children. If you are interested in serving in this dynamic ministry click here, or if you have more questions, email us at

When Does ZOE KIDZ Gather?:

We meet every Sunday morning at 9:00 AM and 10:45 AM during the adult worship gatherings.

What Do We Teach?:

We know that this time in life can set the tone for the many years ahead in the life of the child. During this "first look" at who God is and what life is all about, we want every child to know that:

  • God Made Them
  • God Loves Them
  • Jesus Wants To Be Their Friend Forever

This Summer!

June in First Look we are talking about people God made to help us. Just as God made your wonderful volunteers to help you, He made people to help all of us. Isn't that awesome? How reassuring to know that God puts people in our lives that are here to help us. And, He puts us in people's lives to help them. In fact, it says in Ephesians 4:32 (NCV) "Be kind and loving to each other." We are to be kind and loving to one another, helping each other when a need is seen.

Our preschoolers will visit with several characters in the Bible this month while learning that people can help them. They will visit Ruth and Naomi and learn how Ruth stayed and helped Naomi even when she could have made a different decision. They will hear how Boaz helped Ruth to find enough food for her and Naomi, and they will visit with David and Jonathan. Were there ever two truer friends than David and Jonathan? What a wonderful example of a friend helping a friend. And finally, our preschoolers will meet Mephibosheth, a man who could have been forgotten except for a promise made by a good friend.

Through the entire month we give children examples of people God put in their lives to help them every day, as well as people God put in their lives for them to help. We offer opportunities for them to help the classroom leader in several activities in order for them to flex their "helping" muscles. It's a month about helping each other!

Verse For June: "Be kind and loving to each other." Ephesians 4:32, NCV


During July, in preschool world, we will "Learn to do what is right," (Isaiah 1:17, NIrV). God wants us to do the right thing. How do we know what the right thing is? We look to His Word, the Bible, to guide us.

While visiting with the stories of Joseph and Daniel, preschoolers will hear how we can choose to do the right thing even when it's hard. We can also forgive others when they choose to do the wrong thing. Each right choice leads us closer to the path God created for us.

Basic Truth: God Loves Me.
Question: What does God want you to do?
Bottom Line:God wants me to do the right thing.
