JAM Kids Sunday School
A Message from Our Teachers & Pastors

Dear Parents and Families,

We want to take a moment to speak from the heart about the changes that have been taking place within our Sunday School program.

First and foremost, please understand this: none of the changes we are making are meant to punish the children. Our intention is not discipline for the sake of control, but growth for the sake of their future.

Everything we are implementing is with one goal in mind—to help your children develop accountability, responsibility, and a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.

We want our students to grow not only in behavior, but in their faith. That growth comes through consistency—showing up, participating, and giving their best effort each week.

While we love the fun parts of Sunday School—like treats, special events, and activities—those are not the true purpose. The goal is not just to have fun or enjoy things like ice cream or special “lock-in” events.

The true purpose is to teach them about Jesus—so that one day, they can go to Heaven and be with Him forever.

That is why these changes matter.

⸻

Regarding the Current Lock-In Event:

We want to clarify that this current event was originally intended as a reward for the students who participated in the Church Takeover, along with their families and those who have been consistently supporting them through Sunday School.

However, we understand that many have already signed up, and we do not want to turn anyone away. Therefore the only requirement is that they also attend and participate in the church service that evening.

⸻

Looking Ahead – New Points System
(Beginning After Easter):

As we continue working toward building structure, accountability, and spiritual growth, our Sunday School staff and Pastor have agreed to move forward with a new points-based system following Easter.

While full details are still being finalized, here is an overview of what to expect:
• Children will earn points for positive actions such as:
• Attending Sunday School
• Participating in church services
• Volunteering at church events (such as community outreach or awareness events)
• Singing, helping, or being actively involved
• Points may also be deducted for negative behaviors.
• Future events and activities will have point requirements:
• Students who have earned enough points will be able to attend
• Students who do not meet the requirement will not be eligible for that event

This system is designed to encourage consistency, responsibility, and active participation in things that help grow their relationship with God.

More detailed information about this system will be sent home soon.

⸻

We truly appreciate your support, patience, and partnership as we work together to do what is best for your children—not just now, but for their future in Christ.

Thank you for trusting us to be part of their journey.

With appreciation,
JAM Kids Teachers & Pastors

JAM Kids Church Takeover — A Special Service Led by Our Children

The Lord has placed something powerful on our hearts — a service where our children step forward and take part in leading, serving, worshiping, preaching, and praying — with guidance and preparation from our leadership. This will be called the JAM Kids Church Takeover.

We believe we are living in a time when the enemy is pursuing this generation with intensity, often in subtle ways — through pressure to fit in, follow the crowd, and blend with the culture. But God is calling our children to choose boldly: not the world, but Him. They were never created just to fit in — they were created to stand out.

Called and Chosen.

As we prayed about this, the Lord impressed on us that what truly changes a life is not just learning about Him — it is having a real encounter with Him. Many of us can point to a moment when we personally encountered Christ and everything shifted. That encounter made faith real. That encounter changed direction. That encounter created hunger for more of God.

Our children may express worship differently than past generations, but they can encounter the same living God. Scripture tells us God is not a respecter of persons — and that includes age. Children can be filled, called, empowered, and used by the Holy Spirit right now — not someday in the future.

We will be praying and preparing with the children each Wednesday leading up to April 3rd, and we invite the entire church family to stand with us in prayer. Pray that God will bless and anoint this service, and that each child involved will experience a genuine encounter with Christ.

We are believing for world-changers, fire-starters, and Holy Spirit-filled young servants of God who will impact their generation.

Event Details:
Kids should be dropped off at 6:00 PM
After the service, children ages 6 and up may stay for a Lock-In
Please see Sister Brittany for the registration link and additional information
The lock-in will include fun, fellowship, and celebration as a reward for their dedication and service to the Lord

Let’s pray together for God’s blessing, His anointing, and life-changing encounters for our children.
