Catching the Fire

About Catching the Fire

Catching the Fire is a ministry dedicated to teaching and positively influencing the future of the church - our kids and youth! We want to teach the next generation the truths of the Bible in a fun and understandable way. By incorporating games, Bible stories, discussion questions, and object lessons, we make learning about God simple while still teaching the truths found in the Bible. 

​

Catching the Fire classes are for students from age 0 - 12th grade and are split as shown below:

Kindling the Fire: Nursery (age 0 - 3 years)

Sparks: age 3 - Kindergarten

Ignite: 1st grade - 4th grade

Pyro: 5th grade - 7th grade

Inferno: 8th grade - 12th grade

​

All Catching the Fire classes EXCEPT for Kindling the Fire and Sparks join the adults for praise and worship in the sanctuary, are dismissed to their classes after worship, and return to the sanctuary in time to participate in the prayer and response portion of service. We believe that our kids can and should learn these things by watching and observing others, as well as participating.

​

While teaching in the church is valuable and important, we also believe that we are partners with the child's biggest spiritual influence -- their parents. We want to do our best to help equip parents to solidify the things that are taught to their kids at church. We can do this by providing the weekly memory verse, sticky statement, and main idea from each service to be studied at home. With these things, we have also included a family discussion page that has some questions for the family to discuss at home, as well as a single piece of homework per class, per week.

 

If the homework is returned by the student the following week, they can receive a prize! The homework is not hard, nor is it meant to be. It is intended to aid families in studying God's word. It is meant to be worked on as a family. The lessons that are being taught to our students every Sunday are based off of the sermons that are being preached to the adults. We want to cultivate a culture of community and togetherness as we all study God's word as His family.

 

Our weekly homework pages, Catch the Pointe, can be found in the bulletin every Sunday morning. We encourage everyone to use this page to study God's word, whether they have kids or not. Anyone can use this study guide to dive deeper into the Bible and learn more about God.
