    KIDS EVENTS

    Sunday School

    It is our hope that the plan for childhood discipleship at Riverwood would encourage and enhance the discipleship efforts of the parents and guardians of Riverwood kids.


    Open Arms Nursery

    8am, 9:30am, and 11am

    Open Arms Nursery provides infants through toddlers with a routine of welcome, Bible stories, playtime, and snack. Once a toddler is three and potty trained, they “graduate” to the Jr Pre K class.


    Preschool Classes 

    9:30am and 11am

    Preschool Classes are open to children who are three years old – Kindergarten. Here they will enjoy a time of singing and dancing, a Bible story from the Gospel Project curriculum, and a corresponding craft or game to develop the truth from God’s Word.


    Elementary Classes 

    9:30am and 11am

    Elementary Classes are open to kids in 1st – 4th grade. Kids will participate in a Bible lesson from the Gospel Project curriculum, worship, and an application game or craft to develop the truth from God’s Word.



    What We Teach

    The Gospel Project

    For Riverwood’s Kids Ministry, it is all about Jesus.


    That is why we use The Gospel Project curriculum to teach our kids the stories and truths found in God’s Word. The Gospel Project is a three-year journey through the entirety of Scripture, showing that every story centers around the cross.

    Child Dedication

    Parents have the opportunity to dedicate their children to God as a part of our worship services. We believe that parents dedicating their children is a great step in their own personal commitment to raising their child in a way that will bring honor and glory to God.

    Childhood Discipleship Phases

    Every child is uniquely and wonderfully made... and constantly changing as they grow. It is our hope that understanding the phase your child is in will help you and us communicate God’s truth in a way that each kid can understand and respond to.
