Children's Ministry

Children's Sunday school teaching is available (for non-Awana kids from Preschool to grade 8) during the 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. period. The biblical content for this timeslot is different from the English Children Church teaching. There will be three classes available (please follow the signage posted (2nd floor) for the grade level and classroom).

Preschool to Grade 8 children can join us for in-person worship every Sunday at 9:30 a.m. There will be no need for pre-registration. Parents can proceed to the second floor reception area to check-in and pick-up their children before (9:30 a.m.) and after (11:00 a.m.) the English Service.


The nursery is available during our English service for new parents and infants to use on a self-serve basis, but are more than welcome to join us in the sanctuary as well.  

 

If you have children (2 to 3 years old), they are welcome to join the Children’s Ministry pre-school class. If you are interested in being a part of the preschool teaching staff, please contact Pastor Wesley Lim.
