Nursery and Early Childhood

Children 4 months through 2 years of age are welcome to join us in the nursery. Each section of children receives care from our church volunteers and play time during the worship services. The nursery is divided into age appropriate areas for infants, crawlers, walkers and two year olds.

Early Childhood (children age 3 through Pre -K) are welcome to join us for age appropriate Bible lessons, singing, and crafts that last through our Sunday worship service.

Because we make safety a priority, we require children to be picked up by an adult bearing the corresponding name tag to your child.

Route 55 (5th)

Route 55 focus on the growing and learning needs of 5th graders. We meet during the first service (9:00 am) with a creative teaching from a topical subject or question of the
day, a scripture lesson, or a selection from our current curriculum. Our leaders are enthusiastic to challenge the growing curiosity of this group of children with the goal of building each participant into fully devoted followers of Christ.

PRAY (6th-12th)

PRAY consists of three groups, "PRAY 67" for 6th and 7th grade, "PRAY 89" for 8th and 9th grade, and "PRAY" which refer to 10th-12th grade. PRAY is an acronym for Prairie Ridge Awesome Youth. Our mission is to live for God everyday by learning about Him, helping others, reaching the lost and making friendships. This is accomplished threw teaching and time to make friendships during our weekly gatherings. We also offer service projects that allow our adult sponsors to develop deeper relationships with the kids, and small groups for all grades. Small groups are a place where youth of the same age and gender can grow deeper with God and develop some real authentic Christian friendships.

  • PRAY meets at the Father and Son Junkyard (now in the basement of the church) on Wednesday nights from 8-9pm. We also have a praise and worship time for PRAY and PRAY 89 where they can spend time singing and praying to God every Wednesday from 7:15-7:45.
  • PRAY 89 meets every Wednesday at the Father and Son Junkyard from 6-7pm and can stay late to participate in the worship time.
  • PRAY 67 meets every Monday from 7-8pm. Our time consists of time to hang out, play some games and have group time.
