Children & Youth

 
 

Park Lane: Pre-school

 

From infants to crawlers to walkers, you can be sure that your children are in good hands. Our childcare workers are more than babysitters - they want to get to know you and your child as we seek to provide a nurturing environment while you worship. Besides caring for your child, we will offer them a chance to play in our playroom, sing worship songs, hear God's word, and make crafts.

 

During worship services, your child will be in the care of several trained volunteers, all of whom meet required background standards.

 

Our goal is to encourage preschoolers in a growing, loving relationship with Jesus Christ and others in an atmosphere where they feel a sense of belonging. We present Biblical learning materials with a hands-on approach to help establish an active faith in the hearts of the children. We’ve designed age-appropriate classes just for them where we learn through a variety of stories, crafts, Bible action songs, and other activities.

 

Park Lane Kids: (Kindergarten-5th Grade)

 

At Park Lane Kids, we believe God created children to love God, love others, and serve the world. The role of our leaders is to partner with God and families in nurturing this by providing a welcoming and safe environment for all children.

Our weekly rhythms are designed to provide space for children to

1) explore and grow in their relationship with God,

2) build community with other followers of Jesus, and

3) serve the world.

We do this through:

·      9:00 AM - Sunday School

            o   Grade level classes where kids explore their faith and the Bible through creative storytelling, interactive activities, education on the bible, and spiritual disciplines, and space to think and ask questions.

·      10:00 AM – Sunday Worship

            o   K-5th grade are together as we worship God and are shaped by God through singing, storytelling, and exploring the Bible.

·      6:30 PM – Wednesday Nights

            o   K-5th grade exploring our faith together through community building, exploring the Bible, and creative storytelling.

 

We believe the family is the primary faith influence in the lives of children. We seek to partner with families in nurturing kids’ relationships with God, others, and the world around them.

 

Park Lane Youth (6th-12th grade)

 

Our youth ministry is devoted to middle school and high school students living in and around Clarksville who are grappling with how their generation belongs in the Kingdom of God. We believe that the teens and pre-teens are some of the primary ambassadors of Christ in our neighborhoods, and so, as a church, we want to invest heavily in the lives of these amazing young adults.

 

Our middle school and high school students not only learn but live out their faith and express what it means to be the Church. They engage in Bible study, spend time in prayer, and engage in service opportunities throughout the year. The leaders believe strongly in helping students have fun, build healthy friendships, and develop a deeper faith that translates into action.

 

Current Gatherings:

 ​​​​​​

Wednesday's - 6:30-7:30pm in the Well (Family Life Center)

Students are welcome to begin arriving at 6:00 pm for open gym!

 

 

Park Lane youth ministry is located in the Family Life Center in the teen room called "The Well". A well is often thought of as a stationary place for gathering water. It has been a place of survival throughout history as people seek out the life-giving resource it provides.

 

The Well is simply that — a life-giving resource to usher the presence of God into the world. It is not a room, place, or space online. It’s an encounter with the presence of God that gives light and hope to a broken world. Draw near to the well.
