FaithWalkers (Church School)
FaithWalkers, for children from age 3 (by Sept. 1) through fifth-grade, encourages children to be life-long servants of Christ on their baptismal journey of faith. FaithWalkers takes place on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings. FaithWalkers uses the workshop rotational model allowing for a fun, flexible way to learn. Contact: Director of Children’s Ministries Nancy Henrichsen 339-1983 ext. 238.

Each FaithWalkers unit corresponds to a bookmark that children bring home to work on with their parents. Click here to download bookmarks.

Family Fun Night
The Family Ministry Team offers a monthly fun event (mostly on Friday evenings) that is designed to offer families an opportunity for fellowship.

Vacation Bible School

Vacation Bible School
Vacation Bible School is offered one week each summer from 9 a.m. to noon. Staffed by volunteer parents and middle and high school youth, VBS allows children to interact with children of all ages in small and large group activities. 

Fourth and Fifth Grade Activity Night
On the third Friday of each month (August - April), fourth- and fifth-graders gather for a light supper at 6 p.m. (no cost). Games and fellowship follow until 8 p.m. Friends are encouraged to come.

 

Camps
Lake Shetek is located an hour and a half northeast of Sioux Falls near Slayton, Minn. Shetek offers a one-day, three-day or five-day camp that provides an abundance of outdoor fun, small and large group activities and hands-on learning for kids from first through fifth grade.

NeSoDak is a safe place for youth to make friends, develop social skills and live in a grace-filled community as they learn about Christ’s love for them--all while enjoying a week at the lake with a caring, well trained, energetic, fun-loving staff. A week at NeSoDak is the beginning of many wonderful outdoor ministry memories. NeSoDak is on the shores of a pristine glacial lake near Waubay, S.D.
