GROWING

Our Purpose Statement
To cooperate with the Holy Spirit,
by inviting all people into relationship with Jesus Christ
through engaging worship, service and spiritual growth.
What if "church" was thought of not as a building, but as thousands of doors, each of them opening to a different concept or experience of church, so that whoever knocks might find a journey to call their own?

Early Childhood Care Center (aka Nursery)
Infants and toddlers between the ages of 9 months - 3 years are welcome each week in Advent's safe, clean, and loving Child Care Center.  Our "CCC" staff includes a professional child care supervisor, Cindy H., who is joined by other professional staff and volunteer child care givers who work on a rotating basis and are always ready to make you and your child feel welcome. Early Childhood Care Center hours:
8:45 am - 12:00 pm Sundays (during worship)
4:45 pm -   6:15 pm Saturdays  (during "thrive" worship)
6:30 pm -   8:30 pm Wednesdays (during classes and small group gatherings)

Saturday Evening @ 5 pm: Preschoolers & K-5
3's, 4's, 5's gather in the Early Childhood Care Center during "thrive" worship.  Elementary students through grade 5 join together in Fellowship Hall on Saturday evenings for their own short worship service followed by teaching time and creative activities using the Spark House curriculum.

Sunday Morning @ 9 & 10:45 am:  Preschoolers
Families gather in the Sanctuary for opening part of worship.  Following "Ministry Around the Rock" 3 & 4 year olds go to Fellowship Hall for a time of kid's worship and then to their classroom (Bethany Room).  They remain in the same room each week, with the same teacher for five weeks, and learn from the Spark House curriculum.

Sunday Morning @ 9 & 10:45 am:  Grades K-5
Students in grades K-5 spend 5-6 weeks exploring a single Bible story through a variety of hands-on experiences.  This model for Faith Builders, knowns as "Rotation Model" is based on the multiple intelligences approach to learning.  At the end of the unit we tie it all together with "Reflection Week."
