CURRENT SERIES - PRESCHOOL
When you see something that you have never seen before, and you cannot explain how it happened, that falls into the 'amazing' category. That's what people experienced when Jesus began teaching and doing miracles. They had never seen or heard anyone like Him. Jesus was amazing then, and Jesus is amazing now!
CURRENT SERIES - ELEMENTARY
Discipleship is the daily lifelong practice of becoming more and more like Jesus, followed by learning to follow Him in every part of life. Simple discipleship rhythms reflect patterns of life found in Scripture and help us live out both the Great Commandment, and the Great Commission.
ABOUT OUR MINISTRY
In our program, we use our SouthRidge Discipleship Rhythms as a foundation for what we believe and what we do together. We desire to create environments where our kids can:
Celebrate God
Serve OthersShare our FaithBe TogetherFollow Jesus every day
First time? We are excited to welcome your family to our ministry. Come see us on Sunday mornings at our check-in area located just inside the main entrance of the building.
AGE GROUPS
Nursery
Our Nursery is for children ages 6-36 months and is staffed with our volunteer team ready to care for you little ones.
We have a Family Room beside our Nursery for families with infants. This room has a live stream of the service that can be used by families at any time.
Preschool
Our preschool program is currently divided into two age groups, 2-3 year olds and children ages 3-5. Both are full of different options for play, activities and stories from the Bible.
Elementary
Our Elementary program is for children in Kindergarten through Grade 5. It consists of age-appropriate small groups, each led by a leader who guides the children through different activities, games, and stories from the Bible.
