Jesus And Me (J.A.M.)

 Children’s Ministry Mission:

To teach children about Jesus’ love and to nurture their faith in a safe, loving and caring environment.

 

Children’s Ministry Building Blocks:

  • We treat each child as a gift from God.
  • We encourage learning and spiritual growth.
  • We support families in their faith journey.

Jesus And Me (J.A.M.) is a super-fun, super-cool children’s program for ages 3 (as of September) through 5th grade.

Beginning Jan. 8, 2012, we will offer a full-service preschool program called Jonah And The Whales. It's a Bible-centered, action-packed program designed specifically for children ages 3-5. Children can be dropped off at the preschool suite at the beginning of service or your child can stay with you through Communion, at which point he/she should be taken to the preschool suite.

Children in Kindergarten through 5th grade enter the worship area with their families and worship together until after communion. Then the children are dismissed to J.A.M., where they get to learn about God's word in an fun and energetic environment.

Our time in J.A.M. begins each week with all children gathered together to sing action-packed praise songs. Bible stories are taught in this large group setting with awesome graphics to reinforce the main point of the day and show the children how to apply the Biblical concepts in their daily lives. After opening, children go into small groups based on age or grade level. During these small groups, the lesson for the day is reinforced through with age-appropriate activities.

Each small group is taught by two adult volunteers. All staff and volunteers who have contact with children are FBI background checked and receive annual training on Kaw Prairie’s Child Protection Policy.

2011 5th Grade Bible Gifting And Lock-In

Friday night, June 10, 10 soon-to-be sixth graders attended the 3rd Annual Bible Lock-In at Kaw Prairie. The night was filled with singing, bible study and fellowship, including snacks and a movie. Nancy Bartelt led the kids in a Bible hunt to find a verse from each of the 66 books. To the new sixth grade class at Kaw Prairie, we look forward to watching you take the next step in your walk with Christ, and hope you enjoy your time in WILD. A big thank you to all those who helped make the Bible Lock-In a huge success.

JAM Kids Helping Others

Our JAM kids sponsored 8 children at reStart and purchased swimsuits for them so they could take lessons. reStart sent a big "Thank you!" to our students for helping them learn a skill that they will use throughout their lives.

In addition, our JAM kiddos used their offering money to help the victims in Joplin, Mo.

May 27, 21 JAM students gathered at Kaw Prairie and packed 104 hygiene packs to send.
