WHY DOES THIS MINISTRY EXIST?

To introduce 3, 4, and 5, year olds to the life long adventure of walking and being Jesus’ disciples. To help preschoolers discover Bible truths as they learn to know, love and follow Jesus Christ.

Kidztown, the new children’s ministry center, is destined to become the hub of children’s activity on our campus. It’s an exciting venture, rising out of a vision for excellence in ministry and encompassing design worthy of an Architectural Digest feature. The building reflects Trinity’s tremendous emphasis on community and family, at a time in our society that is once again becoming family-centered. It is a statement that children are valued and they are a proper focus. In fact, investment in Kidztown is the apex of our current capital campaign. It is the manifestation of the dreams of our body to achieve excellence in all areas, for the glory of Christ.

The preschool population is growing in number. Kidztown will address this growth by providing kid-designated space, richly infused with imagination. Overall the building is reminiscent of innocent childhood fantasy. The welcome center has a round, stonework doorway, through which all must pass. Immediately it is noted that this is not a typical building on an A/G campus. The shape and layout lend the building to “stations”. There are wet craft, eating, quiet reading and teaching stations. The imagination station is a play area designed for the younger children. A large meeting area, complete with projection screen, lighting and sound system, is a component of the building that allows for many children to assemble for group activity. A rock climbing wall and gross motor area address the physical nature and needs of our kids. Noah’s Ark is a staircase to the second floor, where there are classrooms that may be de-walled to create two large meeting centers. A prominent, colorful slide (which accommodates adults!) is seated within the staircase. Downstairs is mainly for preschool at first. According to Pastor Brian Griswold (“Griz”), “Our aim is to provide excellent, God-honoring, exciting space that kids want to be in. I want it to engage them, so that church is a place they enjoy and truly experience community. It is a place where they can learn about God and develop spiritually”. In the Children’s Ministry division, we have nursery (ages 0-3), preschool (ages 3-4), and kindergarten. Our first through fifth grade children attend children’s church and Sunday school.
