Pre-school

Our desire is to help your 2-5 year old lay the spiritual foundation for his or her life by teaching them three truths: God made you, God loves you, and Jesus wants to be your friend forever. Our loving teachers will welcome your child with exciting activities that introduce our story. Your child will hear a different story each week that teaches some aspect of one of our three truths, followed by a high-energy worship time. Then there will be reinforcement activities to help them remember what they have heard! Older children will be introduced to small groups where they can make the truth applicable to their lives and pray for each other. We look forward to helping your child begin to know God intimately and start a lifetime walk with Him here in our preschool ministry.

AWANA is a weekly Bible-centered youth club for kids 3 years through sixth graders. AWANA stands for Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed (2 Timothy 2:15) and its goal is to reach boys and girls with the gospel of Christ, and train them to serve Him. This is done through Bible based lessons, scripture memorization, and entertaining games.

Each weekly meeting is divided into three distinct segments for our clubbers: Council Time, Handbook Time and Game Time. The kids are also divided into age appropriate groups: three, four and pre-K five-year-olds are in Cubbies; K-2nd graders are in Sparks, and 3rd through 6th graders are in Truth-in-Training (TnT). Our AWANA club meets on Wednesday evenings during the school year from 6-8:00pm.

Our Preschool Ministry is open to children ages 2-5. Children at this age have so much energy. We take that energy and focus it to help these children start grasping a relationship with Jesus. Your child will have a blast as they learn about how much God loves them.

Key Concepts
• Teach less for more | We believe that by repeating one key truth (bottom line) all month long, kids at this age will have a better grasp of important spiritual truths.
• Engage the senses | We believe that using all five senses through creative activities helps children master spiritual concepts.
• Teach with the end in mind | We endeavor to help every child believe three things by the time they are five years old: (1) God made me; (2) God loves me; (3) Jesus wants to be my friend forever.
• Experience worship | In our worship environments we encourage children to understand that they can talk to God any time, any place.
• Connect at home | We provide parents with ideas for conversation and re-enforcement with their child at home through our Family Worship Guides.

Basic Truths this Quarter:
January | Jesus can do anything.
February | Love God with all your heart.
March | Jesus loves everyone.
April | Jesus is my good friend.

~ Faircreek Church is committed to providing a safe and secure environment for all children. Parents need to check-in each child at one of our kiosks. Each child will receive a name tag that must be worn and a matching claim ticket for the parent. When parents come to pick up their children, they must show the matching number on their claim ticket before their children will be released.

~ For everyone’s safety and peace of mind, we always have at least two workers in each classroom.

~ Snacks are provided in each nursery and preschool class and on occasion, in the elementary classes as well. If your child has a special dietary restriction or food allergy, please inform the teacher.

~ Our goal is to provide a healthy environment for children and adults. In order to minimize the spread of infectious diseases, only healthy children and adults are allowed in the classrooms. An individual is considered unhealthy if they currently have any of the following symptoms, or if they have had them in the last 24 hours: diarrhea, severe coughing, fever, rashes or unidentified spots, runny nose, vomiting, or difficulty breathing.
