Curriculum

 

Welcome! My name is Lauren Loudan and I am the Children's Pastor at Abundant Life Church in Stephens City, Virginia. The Abundant Life Kids team loves children and considers it an honor to serve the children of our church & community. Abundant Life Kids is for families with new born babies to children in the fifth grade. We take great care in presenting Jesus in a way that is fun, exciting, and relevant for the children of our church and community. We have a desire to see children's ministry flourish and hope that you will find this site helpful in understanding the Children's Ministry of Abundant Life.

 

Abundant Life Church believes in ministering to the needs of every age group, including its youngest members. While parents enjoy the adult services, they can have peace of mind that their babies are receiving personal care in a safe and nurturing environment. PromiseLand’s: Nursery & Toddlerific are for children who are newborn to 23 months.  Our qualified teachers create a positive church experience that introduces infants to the love of Jesus at an early age. PromiseLand is also equipped with pagers for each family to ensure contact with the parents at all times.

We know that preschoolers love to learn and our preschool classrooms provide a wonderful learning environment that keeps kids coming back for more. Specific for their ages, these classes include interactive lessons and activities that teach preschoolers God's Word right at their level.

I would also like to introduce you to Xtreme Kids Services, which is a time where children from kindergarten to fifth grade come together for a time of fun learning about God. Each weekend your child, can be a part of an exciting and active environment filled with songs, games, and exciting lessons that teach Godly values at an age-appropriate level. Our weekend services meet at the same time as adult services, and are designed for all children from Kindergarten through Fifth grade. So while you are experiencing the creative, life-changing worship of Abundant Life Church, your children are experiencing it as well.

 As children move through emotional, social, physical and mental stages of development, they also move through stages of faith development. Toddlerific lessons unfold the person of God through all these anenues by giving little ones concrete experiences that will prepare them to receive God's transforming power. Toddlerific covers 12 key faith themes and offers a rich variety of teaching activities little ones will enjoy again and again. It inclues reproducibles for creating Bible story "books" children can safely handle and papers to send home to help parents understand their developing children.
