Frequently Asked Questions

  • Take a tour, see the rooms, and meet the teachers. Kids are welcome to try it out and take little steps to feel more comfortable. You can bring your child in, and our team will assist with getting them settled. If it’s not working out, we’ll let you know via text.

  • We welcome every student every Sunday. Guests are treated like regulars and included here. Your child does not need a religious upbringing to feel comfortable at SW Kids!

  • If there’s one thing we think we might be pretty good at, it’s seeing each kid as a unique and incredible creation. It’s more about meeting your kids’ needs than getting them to behave. We’re always happy to contact you to learn how we can do better when needed and keep you updated on incidents.

  • We follow standard child-to-adult ratios and room-cleaning practices. Additionally, safety and security monitors constantly walk the halls and watch exits. Adult teachers must have a background check certification prior to teaching.

  • We’ll care for your new child as soon as you’re ready. You are also welcome to nurse and watch the sermon on the screen in the nursery for a portion of worship.

CHILDREN'S EDUCATION

Our mission statement is simple: "Know Him, Show Him." We seek in all of our classes to use age appropriate methods to help the students know their creator and live to glorify him. At Southwest Church of Christ we offer excellent Bible based classes for children from birth through grade Five.

Curriculum

We have classes for every age and stage! Cradle Roll- Kindergarten Utilize the First Look Curriculum. We want preschoolers to grow up making wiser choices, building stronger relationships, and developing a deeper faith. First Look preschool curriculum combines child development and theology to help preschoolers grow authentic faith.

for our 1st- 5th graders we use the 252 Kids curriculum from Orange 252 Kids curriculum combines child development and theology to create a comprehensive children’s ministry curriculum and strategy.

Jr. Church is for children ages 3-6! While the main church service is happening, they enjoy age-appropriate Bible lessons and interactive activities to help them engage with the stories and teachings in a fun way.

Opportunities

This ministry offers a unique way to grow in Bible knowledge, service, and evangelism while having a lot of fun.

Bible Knowledge: Most teachers will tell you that they learn more while teaching than by attending a Bible class. The teacher's guides and the excellent resources in both the library and the resource room help in this growth process.

Service: Built into the curriculum at each age level are appropriate service projects for the students. There are also opportunities to serve the families and friends of the students.

Evangelism: All of the children are encouraged to invite friends and the teams host social functions as outreach tools from time to time.

FUN: The learning activities while designed to help retention of the Bible learning are also FUN! Preparing for class is not a chore, but enjoyable.
