As a church family, our focus this year is to “Reach Further.” This year, we are reminded of Jesus’ words in Luke 10:1–2:
“After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to go. And he said to them, ‘The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.'”
We are excited to carry this focus into our Children’s Ministry by helping children grow deeper in their knowledge of God’s Word and reach further with the truth of the gospel. Our prayer is that children would know Christ, love His Word, and be equipped to share the good news with those around them—both on Sunday mornings and at home.
Each Sunday morning, we offer the following classes:
Each class will be reaching deeper into lessons that are Christ-centered, evangelistic, and firmly rooted in Scripture. The Bible—God’s holy and perfect Word—is at the heart of every Sunday school lesson.
Our nursery class will be reading short children’s Bible stories while being cared for by loving volunteers each week. Through these simple lessons and loving care, our youngest children will begin learning foundational truths about God and His love.
Our preschool, elementary, and middle school classes will focus on God’s unfolding plan of redemption throughout Scripture.
Classes will explore God’s promises, His faithfulness to His people, the coming of Jesus Christ, the growth of the early church, and the hope we have in Christ’s return and eternal kingdom.
Through these lessons, children will be encouraged to know God’s Word, understand the gospel, and see how every part of Scripture points to Jesus. Our desire is that they would grow in their faith and be equipped to reach further with the truth of God’s Word.
Each week, children will bring home a take-home sheet or activity. We encourage you to review and discuss these together as a family. Songs and additional resources will also be shared through occasional Sunday School emails to help reinforce learning at home.
Each Sunday morning we will begin our time together by studying one question using the New City Catechism. A catechism like this provides a summary of our Christian faith, taken from the Bible, in questions and answers format.
This year, we want to help children grow in their knowledge and love of God’s Word by learning the books of the Bible in order and memorizing Scripture.
In the fall, children will focus on learning the Old Testament books, and in the spring, the New Testament books, gaining confidence in finding passages and understanding how all of Scripture points to God’s plan of redemption through Jesus Christ.
Our Preschool–2nd Grade classes will focus on memorizing 5 key Bible verses throughout the year, while our 3rd–8th Grade classes will work toward memorizing 10 Bible verses. Children will have the opportunity to recite verses to our check-in team and earn a special prize on Sunday mornings.
In class, we ask that all children show respect for their teachers and peers. To help guide hearts and behavior, we follow six classroom rules:
To help keep everyone healthy and safe, please do not place your child in TMBC’s care if they have experienced any of the following within the past 48 hours:
Thank you for helping us create a loving, safe, and Christ-centered environment.
We look forward to spending Sunday mornings with your family this year as we seek to reach further together for the glory of Christ!
