CHILDREN’S AND YOUTH MINISTRY Newborn to Grade 12 Mendon Church is a caring and nurturing Christian community where the spiritual development of our youth is of vital importance. We seek to encourage Christian love and commitment in our youth and the life-long development of their personal faith journey by:
• Connecting them with other caring members of God’s family; • Equipping and instructing them in God’s Word; • Providing opportunities in which they can apply personal faith and develop and use spiritual gifts for Christian worship and service that honors God.

Sunday Morning Programs – graded classes are offered:
• Nursery: Children ages birth to 2 years of age are welcome in our Nursery staffed with caring and nurturing teachers and assistants. Our Nursery is stocked with a variety of toys and books that encourage learning and play.
• Preschool (Age 3 & 4) and Elementary Grades (K-6): Children can learn through music, visual or hearing means, and we employ a curriculum called Rock Solid, which provides many learning experiences. This way, a child can encounter God’s word through an activity that speaks to the way he or she learns best.
Rock Solid helps children:
• Develop a deep and life-giving relationship with God • Respond in faith to Jesus Christ’s redeeming love • Seek and trust the guidance of the Holy Spirit • Recognize the Holy Bible as the Word of God, the primary guide for faith and practice • Identify themselves as children of God and grow in discipleship • Intermediate Grades (3-6): We employ Rock Solid for Older Elementary, a curriculum which provides our youth with opportunities for visual, musical, artistic, linguistic, kinesthetic (movement), individual, and group experiences with the Bible stories, while encouraging personal connection and life application to God’s Word. This program invites youth to experience Bible stories and to be forever shaped and changed by them. • Classrooms are wired for audio/video links and high-speed internet, providing flexibility to incorporate technology in lessons if desired.
