What is GP Early Childhood?
In our Early Childhood environments, we teach children ages 6 weeks through Kindergarten big truths that they can grow into rather than light explanations that they can grow out of about Jesus, God, and the Bible.
Who Attends GP Early Childhood?
All children ages 6 weeks through Kindergarten attend GP Early Childhood each Sunday! We have created three specific areas: SAFE, FUN, JESUS-CENTERED, and PARENT-EQUIPPING during the 8:30 AM and 10:30 AM gatherings!
In our Blue Rooms/Nursery, infants, toddlers, and two-year-olds tangibly learn about Jesus.
In our Orange Room/PreK-K area, 3 – 6 years old experience engaging activities and stories that all point to Jesus.
WHAT WE OFFER EACH WEEK:
SAFETY:
It is vital that both parents and students feel safe when they enter into any GP Families environment. Every volunteer is screened through interviews, federally run background checks, and ongoing training.
FUN:
The Bible tells us in Matthew 19:14 that Jesus told his disciples not to inhibit children from coming to him “for to such belongs the kingdom of Heaven.” In Mark 10:16, we read that Jesus carried children in his arms and “blessed them.” Jesus was also accused of being “too joyful” at times (Luke 7:34). Jesus had fun, and in GP Kids, we have fun too!
JESUS-CENTERED:
Everything we do is centered on the person and work of Jesus – just like the Bible! Each element of our GP Kids Birth through 5th-grade gatherings intentionally points students to Jesus. Our goal is that by the time a student leaves GP Kids, they know what it means to live for Jesus in every area of their life.
EQUIPPING TO PARENTS:
Since Scripture is clear that parents are given the privilege to rear their children toward a relationship with Jesus, GP Kids does not seek to replace the parent’s primary role in a child’s life. We want to assist parents in that aim.
The Gospel Project curriculum focuses on each environment from birth through 5th grade on the same Jesus-centered lesson. We provide take-home sheets to help parents continue the conversation at home.
Register and Pre-Check In Before Your Arrival
Check-in opens 15 minutes before the start of each gathering and closes 15 minutes after the start time. If you arrive after check-in, you can take your children with you to the Gathering Center.
We keep strict child-to-adult ratios for everyone’s safety and may close rooms based on those numbers as needed.
