Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. For he who is least among you all—he is the greatest.
Luke 9:48

SUNDAY SCHOOL AND CHILDREN’S CHURCH
The award winning, creative, and interactive Children's curriculum from the gifted writers at Willow Creek is now the primary material utilized by the Sunday school and Children's Church program at Wesley!
The Sunday school program focuses on the 5G's, Grace, Growth, Group, Gifts, and Good Stewardship. Lessons which apply to everyday life and how these teachings can be put into practice are the hallmark of the Willow Creek curriculum, along with engaging and interactive methods of presentation.
The Children's Church material is entitled "Looking at the pieces," and presents a creative walk through the entire Bible, from Genesis to Revelation. Featuring creative, fun, and interactive modes of communication, this Promiseland curriculum invites children to enjoy God's word and experience it first hand.
PROMISE KIDS
Promise kids is a ministry to 3-5 year olds who do not attend "Big" church with their parents, and who are too young for the Children's Church setting.
In the Promise Kids program, children will listen to Bible stories and participate in activities related to the stories. There is also a time for free play outside (weather permitting), as well as a snack time.
Promise Kids offers a rewarding and enjoyable time for all of the children here at Wesley.
WESLEY FELLOWSHIP NIGHT
Wesley Fellowship Night is a time for our church family and guests to have a meal together, study God's word together, play together, and worship together. All are invited to join us Wednesday evenings in the Gym for family mealtime at 5:30 pm. Music and Bible classes follow from 6:00 to 7:30 pm for children (ages 4 and up) and youth.
The curriculum used for Wesley Fellowship Night is from Saddleback Church where author of the Purpose Driven Church and the Purpose Driven Life, Rick Warren, is pastor. This dynamic material leads children into a deeper relationship with God through in depth Bible study. Join us for a night of fellowship, fun, food, and figuring out what God's word holds for you!
