Little Lambs for newborn to 24 months

Little Lambs (birth - 24 months)

The Creation is our nursery where we minister to infants from birth to 24 months of age. When visiting our nursery you will find a safe and secure environment where your little one will be ministered to by a loving individual dedicated to meeting their needs. It is our desire that through prayer, songs and play that your child's first experience of knowing Jesus will set the stage for a life long desire to follow Him.

the Ark - ages 2 to 3 years

The Ark (2 - 3 years)

The Ark is designed to minister to our toddlers age 2 and 3. When visiting with us you  will notice that the room has been decorated to appeal to the eyes of this very inquisitive age group and is designed in such a way to provide learning experiences for them spiritually, socially and mentally. We understand that ministering to a child's physical needs as well as their spiritually development is the best way to help build a stable foundation for growth. In both of our nursery age classes we utilize a quiet paging system that will alert you if your child is in need of your attention. This helps you to know that all is well with your child while you are being ministered to in the adult service.

the Refuge - 9th grade through to college

The Refuge (9th grade - College)

No one should despise your youth; instead, you should be an example to the believers in speech in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. 1 Timothy 4:12

Refuge holds this scripture as our motto. It is not just encouraging, but also a great challenge. We hope to challenge our youth and push them to be examples in their lives. To represent Christ in our conduct, love, faith and purity.  Our mission is to create strong Christ-like men and women. Currently 61% of today’s young adults had been churched at one point during their teen years but they are now not actively attending church, reading the Bible, or praying. Only 20% of college-age individuals have maintained a level of spiritual activity consistent with their high school experiences. Another 19% of teens were never significantly reached by a Christian community of faith during their teens and have remained disconnected from the Christian faith. In order to create strong men and women in Christ we have got to do something.  We at Refuge and Vessels of Honor strive to defeat these statistics. That’s our mission.
