For Children
September 5 starts the new Sunday School year!
There are changes in rooms and check-in procedure so please take a look.
REGISTRATION AND WRISTBANDS (Please read! Things are changing!)
Soon there will be a designated Children's welcome area in the commons; but until it is designed and built, please look for someone sitting at a table with wristbands in the commons! All children 2 years-5th grade should check in here each Sunday morning before going to class. The parents will receive a reusable jelly band with a number to correspond with their children, one number per family/per week (that's ONE band instead of 3 or 4. We know you're excited!). We will no longer check in at the classroom door. If your child comes to the door without a band the teacher will send you both to the registration table to receive one.
Pick up is the same as usual: Children 2 years - Kindergarten will need to be picked up by a parent as soon as the service has ended. All children in 1st- 5th grades will be dismissed to find a parent in the Commons.
Classes By Child's Age as of September 1st:

Join our Team of Teachers
Every Sunday, we need many Children’s Ministry co-workers to effectively and safely lead, teach, and assist in Children’s Worship and Sunday school classes, and the church nursery room.
It is our hope that by being more involved in Children’s Ministry, you will both develop a passion for helping kids grow in their love for God and know specific ways to lift up Children’s Ministry in prayer. We thank you in advance for your time and assistance. Contact Nancy Hilger at the Church office to join our team.
At Woodridge...
We desire to bring children to Jesus. To accomplish that we provide a safe and loving atmosphere where each child is highly valued as a unique creation. We believe each child is made by God, loved by God, and called by God into a personal relationship with him through Jesus Christ.
We believe...
That children can know God personally though a saving relationship with Jesus Christ.
That God is the focus of the Bible, and that we must teach from a God-centered viewpoint.
That God is always working for good in the lives of our children.
